Alright guys some awesome progress this weekend. Me and MTX450 really started to get deep into wiring this weekend. Heres what was accomplished:

1: Drill holes for super stealthy wire install. Headlights, Horns, Signals, and Altima Fan wiring all went through the passenger side holes drilled below. They should be high enough to avoid water going into the car, and gromets will be installed next weekend.

Picture from alongside the fender:


Terrible shot from top of where the dashboard would be on the drivers side.


Passenger side hole:


Headlight wiring ( 14 gauge )


JDM Turn Signals/Parking light lead (this will be spliced to both once we actually start terminating connections)



Shots of loomed wire (This stuff is a pain in the ass to loom btw, but it looks so dope):







This is a ****ty shot of the main chassis harness. Its not inside the car as we are doing a nice wire tuck. WE had a choice, hut like 60 wires and repin them or just run it all behind the dash, this probably saves us about 2 weeks of headaches:



At the peak of the wiring extravaganza we took the engine harness out to play, hooked everything up, and made the lights, signals, horns, and A/C work. Heres a wonderful shot of that mess:


And in probably one of the funniest events of the evening, we tried to make an awesome video showing our work in progress, and this is what happened:

Take 1

Annnndd then 2 seconds later when we adjusted the ground The whole situation was kind of ghetto. We had this little Black and Decker jump starter we were using that had no power left so everything was getting 9 volts. But hey it works right?!

Take 2

Next week is probably going to be terminating whatever wires we can, setting up the DiF Pulse modulated Fan controller, and more wiring tucks. A battery relocation, and start legitimizing the engine harness for stealthy installs
