Do this with a 2j, wtfbbq!!!11

Seriously though, I like this setup.

Op, et al, why not run the harnesses inside the upper frame rails (or whatever they're called)?

Plasti-Dip could work.

Am I the only one go thinks it's better to ditch the aero, run 16's, and go most low? I feel like a lot of the cars I see in wire tuck threads are having clearance issues bc of 18's

Damn iPhone autocorrect. Made me sound retarded.

Pics of your car on 16"s? You can pm me if you don't want to clutter the thread

memphis180sx · 03-02-2012, 09:22 AM

here is the best way to do it if wanna do it right just buy a painless chassis harness and then u can run em wherever u want lol

jesse_s13 · 03-02-2012, 09:41 AM

I was told I did mine wrong. At the firewall where the harness first comes out The clearance is really close only when the wheel is turned but it does not hit. Anytips?

i swear, its like guys from LA just look forward to driving on fucked up roads with bubblegum tires.

waxball88 · 03-02-2012, 11:29 AM

Notched for mine too. Also stuffed the wiper amp in there Really opens up the back corner of the bay if you do that and re-run the BMC harness.

It depends on the type of driving you're going to do. Inside the frame rails is OK for a show car, but if you're racing (and potentially hitting things), you can damage the cables - have fun troubleshooting them if they're in your frame rails.

I don't know that you did it "wrong", but it looks like you left the sleeving on the wiring. You can remove the outer sleeving (but leave the tape wrapping) and you'll get a little more flexibility and a little more room to work with.

Help, my tire is eating through my harness!

Lowlifes! · 03-02-2012, 11:33 AM

^Waxball88 has his out of the way pretty damn good!!!

waxball88 · 03-02-2012, 11:40 AM

and it doesn't fuck with fender fitment. Thats the biggest issue. I had to pull my off the first time because i wasn't happy with feeling the harness when pushing on the fender. You really need to undo the hood pop as it wraps around the harness and makes it not want to hug the car, makes shit much easier.

What is that thing between your turbo and intake mani? There should be an IC there, but you have some weird block wrapped in latex... At least that's what it looks like.

shaggy sr · 03-02-2012, 01:27 PM

niceeeeeee! i need somebody who tucks my s14 wire harness for me in nyc. hmu!

Tearlessj · 03-02-2012, 01:27 PM

Its a water to air intercooler.

One day you guys will need to run your harness in the engine bay. It is unavoidable. Well when you have modded knuckles anyways.

Apologies captain, I didn't see it on my first read through but I found it now.

ryandriftingfat · 03-02-2012, 02:10 PM

To whoever is asking about fender fitment after relocating the harnesses - if you didn't pull the split wrap off your harness, you should. That little bit of extra width makes a lot of difference.

LockOn! · 03-02-2012, 02:53 PM

Watch Drift Tengoku. Learn Stuff.

I know someone titled this wrong but just watch.
