Hey viewers,

Just looking ahead here while I'm getting my VH45 rebuilt. After taking off the engine wiring harness from my '91 Q45 donor car, some of the plastic connectors didn't quite survive. I kept the harness and ECU. My questions are...

1. Are VH45 engine harnesses still available, and what would be a reasonable price for one?2. If not, has anyone used any good quality replacement connectors?

Common to replace KS and fuel injection harness under plenum ~~ $210.

Never had to replace ecu to engine bay but sure Infiniti has in warehouse.

I've got the same issue....most of the harness was in good shape but I've got a few broken connectors. It would be great if we could just buy these separate connectors and not a whole harness.

I have the same dilemma.I avoid buying parts at an Infiniti dealership ($$) unless it's a critical component, or there is no other option. As for connectors, I can figure out how to pull apart and re-pin wires and cables. Digi-Key might be one place to start http://dkc1.digikey.com/us/digihome.html.or KayJayCo http://www.kayjayco.com/index.htm

If anyone can recommend something that would be longer lasting and more durable than the originals, feel free to offer a suggestion.
