Explain. I can't picture a Skyline where the engine loom doesn't come out through the firewall/A pillar region on the passenger (LH) side of the engine bay.

Hi guys 

Was toying with the idea of shift the engine loom to go through the firewall to protect it abit more than running it along the drivers side has anybody done this.

Cheers 

Have you ever done automotive wiring?

You have to get the words correct in sentences for them to make sense.

That's not my opinion.

It must if you got to be a smart ass when somebody is only asking for advice. Next time dont bother unless you have something helpful to say. 

Well let's be realistic, if you got the answer that someone had done it before, you would be 99% likely to ask how did you do it, wouldn't you?

 

Pretty sure no one has ever done it, because it hardly makes sense.

Nar I was meaning the left side engine loom.

Why the hell would you bother ? The passenger side ecu loom goes into the wheel arch from the cabin and then exits the wheel arch into engine bay.

The wiring in the wheel arch on the passenger side is maybe 100mm ? Again, why would you bother ? The one on the driver's side runs the entire length of the wheel arch, much more exposed as the length is way more than half a metre over your wheel.

No wonder people are giving you WTF are you thinking reactions, as the idea of rerouting the passenger side of the loom is completely unnecessary, and will achieve absolutely zero benefit.

Was thinking of putting the ecu on the gearbox tunnel and cutting a hole on the drivers side of the motor.

Also if you wanted to do this, a factory loom would not reach anywhere required, and major modification of loom would be needed.

Putting a loom through the firewall means cutting a new hole of course but the problem then is 'will everything fit through the hole'? Cutting new holes through the firewall is generally a bad idea anyway, particularly if the aim is just to save a bit of wiring length. Ignoring any re plugging that will be required, eek.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
