Hi everyone,

I never liked the old wiring on my 200sx s13 shell..so once I got to it i ripped it all out of there, hoping to replace it with something better...right now I think it wasn't the best thing to do and I should have removed it more carefully :yesnod However I still have the old chassis harness + another harness from a spare 240sx shell, but I really don't trust that old wiring... :ohno:

so this leads me to my question - what are my chassis wiring options. Currently I'm looking at this:

1. Fix the oem old harness and place it back were it was...but just looks of the wiring scheme in the FSM scares me :rolleyes:

2. Try using the spare harness which comes

2. Install a new universal harness - like the ones used for restorations, muscle cars, race cars etc...the wiring scheme looks much easier and seems to be a very easy install. My concern here - is 240sx specific relays and circuit limitations - the available harnesses rarely provide more than 22 circuits, whilst I'm under the impression of 240sx having much more circuits.

I don't want to overpay for the wiring stuff nor do want to make a crappy wiring job that would lead to possible electrical problems.

any other ideas, comments or suggestions?

btw...just realized that I can try using the old harnesses and in case it doesn't work out - try a new harness
