Write-Up RPS13 Harness Relocation Under Fender - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Z33dori · 09-04-2007, 09:01 AM

this is a pain in the ass.......bolts holding the fender and bumper together...not to mention i still have to fix teh harness to.

might have to wait for a bud to help.

Did anyone else have soil built up inside the fender.?

hippo_chips · 09-04-2007, 11:04 AM

Yea I had a whole pack of dirt inside the fenders. Looked like compost. I did the harness relocation by myself, you don't need help. The best way to do it is to remove the bumper first(four bolts on top of bumper, four clips above the bottom portion of the bumper, and then four bolts below, then the six fender bolts on each side). Then the fenders. The bumper to fender nuts aren't hard to do, just use a long extension and a socket wrench, no problems. When you relocate the harness, remove the loom. It makes it mush easier to put the fender back.

yea i ended up just leaving the bumper on...which like he said is pain in the ass. but hey i was able to do the whole thing my self including putting the fender back on with the loom.....which is very painfuly hard..

jus wondering if anyone else tucked the harness on teh passangerside too. i think i will.

hippo_chips · 09-04-2007, 11:50 AM

I put the fender back on with the loom, and noticed that my fender arch wasn't as close to my wheel as usual. It sorta pushed the fender arch a good 10-15mm up and out. So I remember that guy Flybert saying to remove the loom, took his advice, and the fender just fit perfectly. No need to force the fender back on. The passenger side is the same deal, just make sure you tuck it in and pull the hoses and wire, near the firewall, away from the tire. ZIPTIE everything good. Use a lot of them also.

Z33dori · 09-04-2007, 11:52 AM

okay so i do need to do the passenger side ...gotcha

hellion240sx · 09-04-2007, 12:09 PM

Daryl you come thru yet again! awesome!

zipties solve everything. you break your arm, ziptie it. leg broke, ziptie. sprained ankle, ziptie. i haev a handful of them in my s13 s14 and miata!

actually going to pick up the thousand pack at harbor freight for $7!

UfoZ8myCow · 09-06-2007, 02:01 PM

I just did this in the morning... Thanks to the awesome write up everything was a breeze and now I wont have any worries about rubbing anything.

And I also saved a few pounds! There was enough dirt under my fender to start a freaking nursery.

JaeTea · 09-06-2007, 02:15 PM

I did this a few weeks ago.

Do yourself a huge favor and remove the loom on the harness before bolting the fender back on.

drifting_changed_mylife · 09-06-2007, 02:22 PM

+1 for the 4 lug!

whomiked · 12-22-2007, 12:53 PM

Thanks alot just did this to my car, did passenger and driver side though.

Z33dori · 12-22-2007, 10:38 PM

ya its best to do both sides.......

i later went back and did my passanger side too....def worth it to remove the loom makes the Job 1000x easier

Drifter Z · 12-23-2007, 05:09 AM

It's not write up but I saw drift-tengoku video. it seems not hard if you have time. gl

Tip:

* peel apart the harness and remove any extra wires you don't need. It will thin out the harness.

* it's best to pull the engine harness through the dash and reroute the whole thing through the engine bay.

jserman · 02-23-2009, 10:41 PM

nice little peice of info...thanks

tf_90s13 · 07-01-2009, 10:50 AM

i know this is an old post but i realised that the hood cable jumps out side in the tire well........ easy to pop the hood from ouside, i threw mine inside the engine bay. ill take picks later. i dont want anyone poping my hood and taking something or looking at my shit

Agreed!

As mentioned above the hood latch cable needs to be relocated, mine got damaged and stopped opening.

If your going ultra low with 18", you will have to completely remove the harness from the fender well. The wheel will burn the harness near driver side firewall.

g6civcx · 07-01-2009, 11:23 AM

The hood latch cable can be compromised. It's best to move it inside the engine bay.

J90lude · 08-05-2009, 10:27 PM

Very nice too bad Im a noob still and can't even remove my damn fender. "DAmn bolts"

supra97 · 05-15-2011, 03:37 PM

Devil Man · 05-15-2011, 03:39 PM
