CruxGNZ Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I haven't made an update in a while, so I figured I would. Well, since I seriously underpayed my taxes last year, I got nailed with a few grand that I need to take care of first before I can continue with my Z. So, there goes the GNZ funds for a little while... BUT, there has been a few things that I have done, and can do that don't cost much. Like the wiring! Yes, the fun began and I loved every minute of the "knee locking" "back hurting" work. Every wire in the engine wire harness has been shortened about 3.5 to 4 feet for each sensor. Now, that's a lot of freakin' wires! The harness is a Caspers universal unit that has every wire labeled. So, now the harness is custom made to my Z. I still can't believe how much wire I took out of that thing. I also custom made an aluminum wire loom that I attached to the drivers side valve cover. It turned out pretty trick and matches the engine well. Here you can see just how much wire I had to cut out of the thing. I had to re-route the harness, because I wasn't comfortable with the harness going through the firewall so close to the downpipe. I moved it right next to where the throttle cable goes through the firewall. Before I had moved the wire harness, it was able to stretch to the rear hatch area inside the car! In this picture you can see the aluminum wire loom I made. It has a 3/16" slit underneath it to push the wires inside. This picture shows the mess of wire and the newly installed JDM fender mirrors. Almost done cutting, soldering, and heat shrink tubing everything. Look at the rats nest of wire. And here is a picture I took today. It looks really disorganized right now, but most of it has been done, except for a few wires that I need to wait on. You can see where the wire harness comes through the firewall. I just need to think of a way to cover that chunk of wires. A few sensors sprout from there, all the ground wires come from there (which you can see the ground box mounted on the left side of the firewall), and the big starter wires too. It's just a mess that I want to look nice, but don't want to cheese it up by wrapping the heck out of it with electrical tape. I'll figure out something. Also, if you haven't seen it, I had my 6 point roll cage installed too. Click here to see the thread about it. I'll be installing Brownbread or B-Quiet, or whatever the name of that stuff is called now. Ordered 100 square feet of it. So, I'll take a picture when that's done. !M!

CruxGNZ Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Believe me, I'm trying! I just have some hurdles I need to jump over before I can finish. Plus, I'm having some family problems that need attention before anything else. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
