You can buy them in spools I believe but for all different makes they use different style pins

Love the fuel rails, I might go that route on my LS.

they're there...don't worry

C. Anderson · 05-16-2010, 09:36 AM

Here is mine. I'm running a painless chassis harness and a stripped down factory engine harness that is re-loomed.

PerilousActs · 05-17-2010, 05:02 PM

Small portion of what's gone from my engine room harness:

Bay is being shaved currently:

Milspec harness later this summer.

satal95 · 05-17-2010, 07:19 PM

Chase bays ka24de harness in development

Cant wait for it to look like this

[/QUOTE]

Damn thats going to be sex lmk when the final product comes out

Envy2343 · 05-18-2010, 02:55 PM

any more out there?

mrchomponthis · 05-18-2010, 03:16 PM

Mine will be done in about 3 weeks since finals is next week and I already blew my ecu from my first wire job and I am broke. lol. Fyi the only way these get done right is with tons of references and help from people like Jeff that know what they are doing.

PerilousActs · 05-18-2010, 04:48 PM

Here's some from a tuck someone did a while back. This is not my car, I just saved them because it's amazing. Full reverse swing pedal assembly to eliminate the brake booster too.

Semi-tuck intercooler piping

Matej · 05-18-2010, 05:33 PM

Those reduced harnesses are super neat. Perhaps I will make/buy one someday.
Fortunately I was able to hide all the OEM wiring and fuseboxes without any cutting or soldering.

240sxfamily · 05-18-2010, 05:42 PM

its cleaner now. but im going to be repainting it soon.

Since photo..

Intake has been fixed, Less zipties. More pretty bolts.

AND my ugly brake lines will all be tucked and replaced when i delete my ABS. the other hideous engine bay piece.

Hey Matej, do you have pictures of your setup and how you routed it? Im not ready to chop up my harness, yet. If you can post up a couple of pictures, that would be awesome!

dopplganger1 · 05-18-2010, 06:59 PM

do you have any more pictures of the one with the tan valve cover possibly of the brake setup im kinda curios about that

Corbic · 05-18-2010, 07:14 PM

Boo, I was hoping to see some crazy shaved engine bays -

GSXRJJordan · 05-18-2010, 09:03 PM

The Vdub guys do it for looks, I do it on race cars for performance, reliability, and lastly looks. When you start doing swing-pedals and putting your intake right over the header to 'hide it' (or not having an intake filter at all), it's time to consider your motives.

mrchomponthis · 05-19-2010, 01:12 PM

As far as the tan valve cover engine wire harness goes. Your cas wiring looks a lil wack drooping down and it looks like you used paper tape on the injector clips... just my opinion tho.

PerilousActs · 05-19-2010, 10:52 PM

As I said, it's not my car, just some pics I found online.

What Jordan said. There's a good balance between performance, reliability, easy to work on, and looks, but when you start doing crazy stuff that will interfere with the function of the car or make things difficult, you better be building a show car.

As far as hiding the brake and master cylinders go, it's simple.

There's quite a few options.

Envy2343 · 05-21-2010, 12:14 PM

were do you find pedals like this

khoadogg · 05-21-2010, 04:31 PM

sweet stuff!

GSXRJJordan · 05-21-2010, 11:03 PM

Yeah a Tilton/Wilwood pedal box with triple MC's (one for clutch, one for rear, one for front) and adjustable bias really isn't as expensive as you think. The pedals are like $150, and the MC's aren't too bad. Then you don't need the booster, and everything's hidden under the dash... problem is you've got to wire in your own brake light switch (and clutch interlock if that's your style).

Om1kron · 05-22-2010, 11:54 PM

I see no problem with making more room for a top mount turbo not to melt your brake reservoir. lol

landins13 · 05-23-2010, 12:16 AM

where can you get the large circle connectors for the firewall the one with all of the pins on it, i tend to pull my motor very frequently and i would like to re-loom all of it and put one of those industrial connectors in so i can pull the motor and harness together and install them together.

ATLspeed · 05-23-2010, 12:26 AM

the mil-spec wire loom is a great but only crappy thing I hate about it is if you have to splice something then you have to cut up ur nice loom

**I worked at a manufacturing company where we made wire harness' for Boeing planes/heli and other military vehicles. if i had known better i would have just grabbed the supplies from work and did this lol.

There are plenty of places to buy them online and the pins, etc. But they're going to run you about 300+ dollars I believe they're like 180 dollars a side. And they're not really designed for multiple connects/disconnects.

Drifting-pedobear · 05-23-2010, 12:59 AM

me and my buddy did a wire tuck on my EK, wish i had welding skills back then and shaved it. turned out nice anyway.

Ceepo · 05-23-2010, 01:44 AM

^looks really nice

bardabe · 05-23-2010, 02:06 AM

My Old S13, New project / chassis coming soon just need to finish my Twin Turbo 350Z. kinda sucks that i don't keep track of my customers wire tucks haha

under dash harness

the car

nznew · 05-23-2010, 03:30 AM

heres mine, stripped about half the loom, moved fusebox under the dash
if we had more time would have took the wires right out not just chopped them, next step is strip and add sheathing!

jserman · 05-23-2010, 04:46 AM

My S13 mild tuck... cut down loom and got rid of all the extra stuff... relocated fuse boxes underneath the engine bay behind the headlights and did a small battery
