Question about wire harness swap! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hello so I am tired of waiting for my pistons and rods, and decided to go ahead and prep the s14 for the swap now I wired everything outside the car the sr harness and s14 harness and now I have to take the old harness out of the car. Seemed easy enough started from the engine bay where i thought I might have problems but when I got to the 1 foot of wire harness inside the car I was like WOW, do I need to take out the dash, that hole seems impossible to get to and squeeze the harness through let alone put the new one in. So do you guys have any tips and tricks that might help me not start taking the dash apart. Thanks in advance.

No one, I could really use the help I searched and nothing came up.

There's a wiretie to the firewall right behind the blower motor. If you can pull the blower motor out you're golden, but it's tricky with the dash still in. You can also pull the evaporator box to get to it if you don't mind discharging the A/C.

Safe? Have it evacuated at a quality repair facility. Most people just gas it into the atmosphere, but that's the cheap and lazy way to do it.

I think my 240 wont make it to one of those since It has no motor

. So in the garage it goes. thanks

Harness is in, no it didnt take me this long I just forgot to add what happened. YES it is easyer if you take the ac box out and unbolt the bottom of the heater box i think i dont know what it is. and then the rest is history. THANKS FOR THE HELP
