Simplifying engine bay fuse box harness

[tuzzio]

For those of you who have simplified the engine bay chassis harness, did you run into any issues or regrets down the road? This harness has been In my car for 10 years, and its fairly safe to say that I could remove the excess without regret.

Moving from my AEM V2 to a Haltech with their fusebox, I don't believe I'll need the EGI or EGI pump relays anymore either.

At this point, my fusebox has the following left:
-75A Fusible link
-25A Ret MTR Fusible Link
-30A Ign SW Fusible Link
-10A Eng Cont Fuse (unsure If needed?)
-10A Horn Fuse

Discuss?

That could be nice to downsize into a smaller fuse/relay box too. Nissan made plenty to choose from and the slots/adapters are all interchangeable even with the new Nissan/Infiniti cars.

When I simplified my engine bay fuse box harness, I found it incredibly helpful in tidying up the bay and reducing unnecessary components, especially with the switch to an aftermarket ECU. However, I did run into minor electrical troubleshooting later, as I had removed a fuse I thought was unnecessary but was linked to an unexpected function. Overall, the cleaner setup was worth it, but careful planning is crucial to avoid losing key functionality.

If that wasn't AI...then I don't know what is.

Anyways, I did it, and I have no regrets. Having the open spaces allowed me to use the factory fuse box for some constant / key on power, which has been nice.

Oh, interesting. I'd love some more info on this if possible. I removed the relay size of my fusebox so its about half the size of previous.

can-bus conversion is my next wiring project on my s-chassis.

I opted to remove the can-bus plug out of my haltech harness, but its a very simple 4 wire install to put back.
