How To Remove Wiring?

[CRZY32]

Need some advice for removing the wiring loom on an R32 GTR. The car is about to be resprayed, inside and out, so I've removed the wiring to the point where it only protrudes through the firewall on the drivers side.

The engine is staying in place so I dont want to unplug the engine wiring loom, just need to remove all interior wires.

Should I keep the wiring in the car and mask up?

OR

Somehow feed the engine bay wiring through the firewall into the interior and remove altogether? I dont know how to do this...

Well if your respraying it and not removing the engine, I don't get why your going through all the trouble with the wiring loom just leave it in the bay and mask it up, and pull it out the way as much as possible.

Engine bay was resprayed some time ago when the engine was out.

Now it's time to spray the exterior, stripped interior, and cage. Gone to the effort of removing windows and all interior trim so want to do the job right and remove all wiring in the interior only.

Question is, how do you remove the interior wiring without touching the engine wiring loom as it appears to be connected...

Well Iv just re sprayed a Mitsubishi evo wagon for a customer full strip down engine out, everything off, all interior out and the only thing they left was the interior wiring. I masked it all up sprayed over it, job done looked great. I wouldn't go through the hassle of taking it out!

Cheers James. Looks like I don't have much choice as I can't remove just the interior wiring. I will have to masking it up and ask my painter to spray around it.

Put some photos up when you do it because I'm going to be doing the same soon so would be good to see how yours goes. Cheers james

On closer inspection (during daylight) I was able to quickly figure this out.

The plugs are all held together by the large square plastic retainer as shown in the pic. All of the plugs can be removed from the retainer and then separated. Just a pain to unclip some of the smaller plugs.

So now all interior wiring has been removed. Only engine wiring loom remains
