Stable 12v Source X 5 For Ecu

[Nic_A31]

Need to tap into something to power up the ECU.

5 wires total, need 12v on ign/ON.

3 others need 12V full time.

What car I use behind dash?

or am I better off to tap into the fuse block and run its own lines ?

run its own lines mate , nissans factory wiring aint the best in A31's

around the passenger side strut in the loom running back from the headlights there should be a couple of power wires, pretty sure there's constant and switched there. these are ones i used to get the comp up and running on my 25 conversion in my laurel. and my ceff has the same looking plug, from memory it was a 6 or 8 pin rectangle shape

That plug is currently in use.

Dunno if its for the ECU power - I paid a cashie to wire it up but he did use that plug.

If it's being used for something else, is it stable enough to run all the power I need off the one or two spares in that plug ?

Whatever you do don't use the ciggie lighter plug (i'm sure u won't). My touchscreen DVD screen had a loose connection with the power source from headunit so I got lazy and soldered it to the ciggie plug wires. Well that ended up nicely with smoke and $200 down the drain
