Painless Wiring Harnesses

[Boss-zilla]

Well Ill sell you a copy of my plans, not that it will do you much good as they are for a gts-t. As for the planning i am moving a few thing around to make space/and try for better weight dis.

Well I finaly had a chance to start this on the weekend. Will hopefully have a ruff cost on the complete loom with in a month if all things go to plan.

How has yours gone Dane?? Anything you didnt like or would change with it?? Any suggestions you make can only help me with the design of mine one.

Cheers

Hey Ross, still stripping out the loom mate, haven't had much time to work on it of late. We should have it out this week, and then we can start work on getting the new loom in place. I'll keep you posted mate

[Boss-zilla]

Cheers mate, makes it easyer to know what people like yourself would like while im in the design stage and i know what you mean about no time.

Ok to bring everyone up to date and revive a now aging thread.

I have been on holidays for a while and just have got back (including a name change). Yesterday i removed the last of the wiring and will be now able to work out the cost of the new loom very soon.

As for my car the loom/s will be completely different due to a few things i am doing but i will post pic etc oncw it is done.

Dis you end up getting your done Dane??

Cheers

Not yet Ross, just have to paint the interior and then we'll wire it. Be keen to see what yours comes out at, keep us updated.

Here's the existing loom as it sits now... yowzers!

I saw that the other day, ill take a photo of the r32 one this weekend. At the moment the only looms that i wont be doing is the ecu (will get done when i go after market) and the doors untill i figure what i am doing with them (manual winders or fixed). Speaking of which does anyone know if you can get a manual window winder kit for any of the imports?? I know i have seen a few car in japan with manual winder but they might be an in house only kit.

Cheers

Well here we are, got the last of the loom out and weighed - 13kg of wire (scale is about 500g out so its closer to 13.5). Keep in mind this does not include the looms from either door or the ecu to engine loom which should be another 6kg or so.

Once i have got rid of everything not needed ill weight them again and see the difference. If everthing is working ok ill start the new custom loom made from the teflon wire and we will see what the difference is again, hopefully it will be worth the effort.

Here is what the mess looked like and ill take a photo once it is cleaned up.

Cheers

Hi hows the new light weight loom goin guys

[badhairdave]

I made a half custom/half modded stocker for my s13 over christmas. It was so much fun i never want to do it again

Relocated factory main fuse box into the cabin (on the tunnel under the dash)

replaced factory interior fuse box with an after market 8 fuse unit

completely remade the alternator/starter loom

modded the engine loom to get power at new fuse box location so removed a heap of wiring from the engine bay

modded the wiper loom in the same way as the s13 runs it all around the front of the car stock

redid the tail lights with 7 core trailer wire, ditto the fronts (headlights to be replaced so not hooked up currently)

redid the power windows with 4 relays and a couple of switches so now there's only 2 wires running to each door.

In all seriousness, the biggest pain when doing mine was retaining the factory switch gear for headlights, wipers and indicators as there is a heap of wires there and the lengths all needed to be changed. I also kept hazards as it's part of the indicator loom and i figure it's nice to have them if you're crawling back to the pits with issues.

Work in progress shot. I was really over it by this stage (about 3 days in)

It'd also be a lot tidier if i didn't have future boost controller and boost gauge wiring already hooked in.

It's getting there on my car, hopefully finishing up soon
