i tucked my harness 2 years ago when i had 17's and did a shitty job, so here i am REDOING it..

DON"T do it like that, unless you want to re-pull fender and re-tuck in the future, when you get big ass wheels in the front.

TODAY I GOT DOWN TO IT...

STEP 1 - REMOVE FENDER

STEP 2- look at the saggy ass harness rubbing on your 18" wheelzzzzzz, actually had to repair some damage, tire started rubbing through half the harness, my car actually shorted out pulling out of autozone in the middle of main st, fuck that never again..

STEP 3- remove plastic tube shielding around harness.

STEP 4- THIS is what i wish i would of knew back when i did it the first time, but if you cut out a slot, the harness tucks perfectly.
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/timberlando/IMG_1921.jpg

STEP 5- ZIP TIE THE FUCKER to random holes, like this
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/timberlando/IMG_1922.jpghttp://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/timberlando/IMG_1923.jpg then bend the lip up to act as a barrier between wheel and harness..

STEP 6- repeat to other side of baller lambo aka s13
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/timberlando/IMG_1924.jpghttp://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/timberlando/IMG_1925.jpg

STEP 7- PUT THAT ISH back together and drive it how its supposed to be driven...

I suppose you could always coat the edges with some sort of liquid rubber, or maybe an old rubber hose you could slice in half and stick on the edge?

All of this looks like shit. No need to cut anything. Those connectors behind the fuse box come apart and the whole harness can be pushed out from inside the car and rerouted.

09-14-2011, 06:16 PM
this really only works when you aren't using a fender brace... otherwise - fender brace is in the way and routing options are limited...


cut/reroute into engine bay is by far the best solution - albeit a tedious process its so worth it

Did my fender harness like so earlier this year and I have no problems with it, slammed on 18s. I put new wire conduit around everything though, especially the cut metal part. I would hate looking in my engine bay with the fucking wire harness there.

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but this does not work! Maybe if you took out the dash and disconnected the while harness!

It does work. If you're smart and analyze the components and wiring, you'll see in-fact that the dash does not need to come out.

How do I know? b/c I did it a few weeks ago. I routed my harness just like the OP and shit got all fucked up from going ham on the track.

So I bought a new front chassis harness and ran that shit in the engine bay and didn't remove my dash.

ppl need to stop kidding themselves. Yes, the way the Op did it may be good for street driving and simple drifting but once you start going balls to the wall, those zipties will say fuck you and your harness.

Harrypotter, the front chassis harness only has that main plug, a couple plugs that go to the fuse box, clutch bottun, then extends to the ignition.

It is much easier to pull the dash and take it out but it can be done without removing it.

I like how everyone always argues over the "best" way to do it... Just do whatever works. I drilled and cut the little triangle piece on my S14 (if you have one you'll know what I'm talking about if you've ever had your fender off). Fixed some wires, threw it through the hole, and rewelded the cut. Then proceeded to make a skid plate bolted in with self driling screws. Works? Yes. Requires a lot of time cutting and extending wires? No.

Relocating it through the engine bay is easy. The inside wiring and box that needs to come out will NOT fit through the stock triangle opening. All you gotta do is slot that triangle hole and make it into a square. Done this on like 4 S13s and a couple of 14s.

However, once its routed by the strut tower, its a good idea to unravel the electric tape and insulation to try and flatten the wires out, then re-tape everything so the hood can clear it better. Not necessary, but will help greatly since the bundle of wires is like over an inch big.

I actually don't like cutting those seams, i thought about that initially but ended up putting hoses there instead.

There is a metal plate shaped and welded on mine to protect the vertical section of the harness as well as the rubber plug that keeps water/dirt from getting into the cabin right behind the fuse box.

Here are some pics.

wtf IS that intercooler

its an air to water intercooler, it has a heat exchanger(kinda like front mount) mounted in the front that coolant goes threw and gets cooled by the air and then the cold coolant goes threw the intercooler and cools the air that is going into the intake and then there is a water tank that stores all the cold coolant waiting to get cycled threw the intercooler. its way more efficient than the conventional front mount, the turbo side gets so hot you can hardly touch it and after it goes threw that tiny intercooler the intake side is cold, and thats after driving the car after several hours.

Op, et al, why not run the harnesses inside the upper frame rails (or whatever they're called)?

It depends on the type of driving you're going to do. Inside the frame rails is OK for a show car, but if you're racing (and potentially hitting things), you can damage the cables - have fun troubleshooting them if they're in your frame rails.

I was told I did mine wrong. At the firewall where the harness first comes out The clearance is really close only when the wheel is turned but it does not hit. Anytips?
[IG]http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k477/jesseridefit/IMG527.jpg?t=1330374217[/IMG]

I don't know that you did it "wrong", but it looks like you left the sleeving on the wiring. You can remove the outer sleeving (but leave the tape wrapping) and you'll get a little more flexibility and a little more room to work with.

Help, my tire is eating through my harness! (http://givemeshred.com/help-my-tire-is-eating-through-my-harness/)

and it doesn't fuck with fender fitment. Thats the biggest issue. I had to pull my off the first time because i wasn't happy with feeling the harness when pushing on the fender. You really need to undo the hood pop as it wraps around the harness and makes it not want to hug the car, makes shit much easier.

What is that thing between your turbo and intake mani? There should be an IC there, but you have some weird block wrapped in latex... At least that's what it looks like.

Its a water to air intercooler.

One day you guys will need to run your harness in the engine bay. It is unavoidable. Well when you have modded knuckles anyways.

To whoever is asking about fender fitment after relocating the harnesses - if you didn't pull the split wrap off your harness, you should. That little bit of extra width makes a lot of difference.

okay i am running into issues here i have everything done and tucked all nice but now the fender hits right by where that lip on the sub frame starts its a 1992 if that makes a difference. I also tried to flatten them out once but maybe i just need to do it again for it to work. i am so close.

sorry to bump an old thread, but i had an idea to use a couple peices of an old water hose and slice it down the middle and stuff wires in the hose and ziptie it up and run it along the fenders like the op pictures. i figure the rubber of the hose would be a lot thicker and maybe take more of a beating than oem wire looms. any input dudes?

Too bulky bro.

But while I'm here, this is what I did because that grommet sucks. Removed it, drilled 2 holes, and bolted a piece of flat PVC from the inside that I notched at the top for the harness to push it as far up As possible. Then used some silicone sealant.

Anybody that's still running the rubber grommet is not low enough. I rubbed through the grommet on 16's...

Run the harness through the bay fools.

why do this when you could just put the whole harness behind the dash and just run out wires for the lights and fans , assuming you relocated the battery already ?.

Ah looks like its time for me to join on the fun and excitement of pulling the fender and running the driver's side harness through the bay so i can go a little lower on my S14. Half of the wires in that harness are bare now and i've already half-ass relocated it once. Time to run it through the bay. And lower another 1/2". And realign.

Anyone have pictures of how they ran the harness along the frame rail? I'm rubbing on the grommet now with 18s so I'd like to just drill a hole through the firewall and take it completely out of the fender, on both sides.

I did the tuck and everything went smoothly but when I drove to work the next day my headlights and blinkers didn't work. One headlight is stuck in sleepy eye and off and the other up and on. What the fuuuck happened? This happen to u guys at all? Pm me if needed, thanks
