Harness tucking fun!

So I am gonna be buying Stance GR+ Pro coilovers and Circuit Sport RUCAs/toe arms very very shortly and thanks to some of you in the technical section I decided to tuck my harness so I dont burn through it. It was my first time really taking apart my car like that so it was a nice learning experience.



Fenders off, harness in stock spot



At this point I was wondering what in the hell I got myself into



Loose harness




Tucked and tied




Fenders back on

So yeah, getting it all off was cake..Half hour job including tucking the harness up. Getting the fenders back on and aligned. TERRIBLE! Took me hours haha...The harness made the fenders fit alot tighter. The passenger side was a smaller harness so it was easy but the driver side I had to remove the plastic cover and then I re-electrical taped it. That made it smaller and then it fit.

I noticed that the conversion was half assed too. Im missing so many nuts and bolts it was stupid. Half the shit wasnt even finger tight. So I completly re-did it and its almost golden...

Lastly....I know I have to hammer a little lip flat so it doesnt shred my tires. Is it that skinny thing hanging down? I dont wanna smash up the wrong thing..



I think I should make a build thread haha

looks good, but if you are gonna ride low id find a way to tuck the harness more at the part near the fire wall, it might rub when you take turns hard. well at least thats what happen with my harness but i tucked it in good and ziptied it down.

next time pull off the plastic sheathing shit.

gives you more room to pull it up and makes it thinner so it doesnt fuck up your fender as much.

I did end up doing that on the driver side. That harness was alot thicker so I took of the plastic and re-taped it. I couldnt get my fender on with the plastic crap.

The passenger side was already a small harness so it fit really well.

^ +1. I was just about to say the same thing. In addition if you haven't already hammer the seams on the subframe as well.

Did you happen to re-weld it? That area is a pinch/spot weld for the body structure. It would kinda suck for the front end to end up just falling apart because of that.

Just did my S14 yesterday

hammered part of the lip for added clearance


removed one of the plastic harness holders
freed the harness
cleaned the metal and attached sticky zip-tie-holding fasteners


re-taped harness and put it in place


hammered the taped harness so that it would sit more flat



not so sure how well it'll work
but I'm not planning to slam the car
if it still rubs then I'll just relocate the harness to the engine bay.

What I did to solve that....

Undo all the tape on those wires, so they lay flatter, instead of a fat bulge.

if they are ziptied up nicely, it wont be a problem.
