chasebays vs wiringspecialties
Hi all, im in the market for a new wiring harness,i had jgy customs do my first harness as it turns out im very displeased with there work. I really like the look of the chasebays harness and if i do something once i dont want to change it in the first place like do it rite the first time!! i just want to know if anyone has experience with chasebays before i go spend the 700 bucks, on the other hand i can save like 300 if i go to wiring specailties ive spoke to yury on the phone hes a real nice guy and i heard really good stuff about his work and he has the brand new harnesses in stock compared to the 2 to 5 week wait time chase offers if anyone can help me out that would be awesome thanks guys!!!!

i have the chasebays ps line kit for my 240sx, and the engine bay brake line replacement kit....while there stuff is nice, its way overpriced for what it is....looking back , i would not have wasted the money, i would have simply made my own lines which would have been very easy.

Good thread, I have been debating this same issue as well, I will be looking forward to hearing what people have to say. As of now, I am also leaning toward Wiring Specialties..

Another vote for WS. Their stuff is legit and fits perfect, and as mentioned have quick disconnects for different maf's. Very clear instructions as well. I got mine within a week of ordering if i could remember. I'm sure chase bays is top quality too, and that you can't go wrong with either one.

granted WS is cheaper, is because is is made out of cheap split loom and electrical tape, and is not a high quality sheathing like CB. Its all preference, if your looking for a replacement harness, go WS, if your looking for a harness that adds bling and cool points and unlimited options to add or take off, go with CB.

i would say ws just because when i ordered the ps kit it took almost 3 months to get it andthe 3 e mails i sent got back to me with the exact same message being a general statement towards a long wait for my order

I have a WS harness it works great...just like Oem...I made one like cb w/ the pricey wire sheathing looks great but took me forever to lighten,shorten,tuck and solder all the wires but in the end i saved my self $800+...So it was worth all the time I spent working on it..cb is for show not really necessary..money saved can be spent else where

WS hooked me up with a free engine harness for my car, and the quality is awesome. Yury is a great guy and has been nothing but helpful to me. At the same time, I have close to $1,000 worth of Chase Bays product and have not had any issues with them either. Both companies were cool enough to hook me up and have been great with customer service, so I really don't think you can go wrong either way.
As for which harness to choose, I think it is more about what you are looking to accomplish with your bay. If you are just trying to get your swapped car up and running, or care more about an OEM replacement, go with WS. If you want the tucked look and are into the mil-spec connectors, go with CB. You can make the WS harness look "tucked" pretty easily without much modification as well. |

Pretty much what he said^ I like what chasebay does but they do have a long wait most of the time on customer service seems bad. If i didnt know how to wire and wanted something clean and tucked not oem i would go with chasebay or actualy hit up jordan innovation on here he does the same for less. If you just want your car to run good and look like a oem harness go with ws.

personal experience
WS= minimal asthetics more for function, great customer service CB=geared towards asthetics, pricey, long wait time, sub-par customer service. Both do the job just different ways of doing it.

I didnt go with either
Yuri from WS is a cool guy spoke with him too, but opt for something nicer and CB was not the route i went with, I am stationed here at Ft Bragg and know some 240 guys here, they did my one off wiring for $350, that all included new plugs if broken depinned and cleaned out with option of military quick disconnect from the firewall (i shoulda got for another 75 bucks but didnt) and all wires rewrapped in this carbon high temp sheathing finishing with heat shrunk ends, the builder Luis spent 19 hours + building mine, only because i have a 98 kouki sr20det into a 95 zenki with cruise control, abs, and oem ac cause i have the cody ace ka24de ac conersion to retain factory ac, and all features, shortened and redid my igniter wiring to relocate to my kickpanel by the ecu to keep it from the elements, rerouted my maf plug and wires across my firewall to the turbo side, it took almoust 2 weeks because i was the guinea pig, he has never retained ac and turns out the kouki harness is different and needed a UK plug which he got for me no charge, it goes on and on, but if anyone is intrested this is the best and better than chase bays for half the price, also he is testing it and wants to personally install it this weekend to make sure he sees that it works, sorry long story but was worth the wait, this is including transmission harness too. will try and get pix up this weekend when installed, Bare Metal Garage out of Fayetteville, NC, oh by the way he gives u a copy of ur harness on cd or flash drive and what he repinns if needed so like wiring specialties, u can add z32 maf later or whatever and will change it out just ship it to him, awesome quality and great work

+1, they forgot to send me part of my order...lol
Ive been running wiring specialties for the past 2yrs and ive never had a wiring issue, and i wouldnt spend $$$ on a chasebays harness that your most likely gonna tuck like everyone else anyways, so you might as well go with Yuri's harnesses and use the extra money for other stuff |
