painless wiring ONLY :D:D:D

Why would you possibly want a switch panel for headlights, turnsignal, etc? You already have all the needed switches for those functions....THEY CAME ON YOUR CAR.

Please don't post in this thread, as you have no idea what you're talking about.

Thanks.

We did a home made wiring harness on my buddy's FC. Used his own switches and stuff.


You could go either completely custom. Or, you could ingrate the factory stuff into a painless kit.

Why are you considering this might I ask? It would be MUCH easier to remove all the un-necessary wiring from the factory harnesses if you are just trying to save weight. You'll save a bit more with this kit, but my guess is that it wouldn't be more than 10-15lbs max. I actually removed all the excess wiring from a JDM dash harness today and it only took like 3 hrs, not including removing it as it was already out of the car.

no it isn't.

I've done it.

It totally sucks.

Painless 8 Circuit is so much easier.

Putting painless on an S-chassis is easy.

it took me a day of google and a ziptied post to figure it out.

stock wiring harness has so much useless crap for nearly all of the cars on this board, its nearly impossible to gut the front section too, it would be such a bitch.

I'm converting my car to RHD harnesses which I am gutting as we speak so I will be able to give a much better review of how difficult it is in a couple of weeks. I did the dash harness this weekend and it only took me like 3 hrs to gut it (out of the car that is). I still have to shorten/lengthen the few connectors that I DO need and solder and shrink wrap some places where the factory spliced multiple wires together though. Before anyone asks I am converting to RHD harnesses because they run down the (US) passenger's side of the car rather than the driver's side. Also the silvia engine room harness doesn't have the extra relay box for the pop-ups. I got the harnesses for free so fuck it, I'll give it a shot.

its easy enough until you get to under the dash.

and then wires run back and forth 5 times, go into relays which also have needed wires going to them

the wires change color, its a bitch to unpin the plugs.

I stopped 90% done, and bought painless.
