Cleanest routing for new S13 SR20 harness in s13?

[OM3GA]

Im trying to figure out how to route my s13 sr wiring harness, I want it to be clean and look stock. I know its supposed to be routed differently since its supposed to be in a RHD car but i know people have routed them and had it look clean. Please enlighten me with pictures or a thread already discussing this which i have not found haha. I know theres some info out there somewhere!

[blacksrjdm]

Search wire tuck for the cleanest look. Or, just rout the wires the same as the KA was routed. That would make sense........

[tEknoS13]

Well if you want it to look "stock", leave the harness the way it is...

Either way, I think WC made a thread about this. "Ultimate Wire Tuck"

[OM3GA]

I would love to route them the same way the ka was routed however the plug for the o2 sensor for example has to get looped behind the head and plugged in so theres a mess of wires behind the head which i hate haha.

[blacksrjdm]

Your not new to the site. You should know about the swap guides all over the internet. Search.

[OM3GA]

I know ive looked at them but most of them only show what to extend etc. on the wiring and not how it gets routed.

for every stupid thread you make, you can count on me being here to tell you to stop asking stupid questions.

route it the way YOU want it.

but ill be nice.

heres how you do it the best way:

1) look at wires 2) look at motor3) run wires so they look "ok" to you and your sweet thinkity noodle4) STFU....

but you are welcome to do step 4 anytime you have a sweet brainiac idea for a thread

lmao. very nicely put. when i tucked my engine harness on my ka i followed steps 1-3. was pretty easy.

Ill be looking forward to it

Anyways yeah the ka harness is different jeff, try making it look clean when the o2 connector is to short causing you to run alot of the harness behind the head next to a bunch of coolant hoses IMO not that clean. Im thinking about extended the wiring on the o2 connector itself unless someone supplies information thats actually useful.

if youre doing things RIGHT, you wont have "a lot of harness", youll have 3 wires. and you shouldnt have a "bunch of coolant hoses" either...

do your research before you let more special thoughts drip out of your mouth.

ka and sr harnesses are so scary close, its ridiculous. youre just doing it wrong.

[OM3GA]

Apparently because it looks not as clean as it should yet, i just wish that connector was longer for the o2, i mean i guess i could extend it but id rather not.

[White Comet]

why are you wary about cutting and extending stuff? if you REALLY are going for clean looking thats what will have to be done

I want a fast car but I don't want to spend money.

I want to eat at a buffet but I'm not hungry.

I want help but I don't like the answers being given to me.

Get where I'm coming from? If you're too scared to cut and extend some wires just because it's brand new then leave it alone and keep it how Nissan intended it to be.

If you don't like that than stop asking for help we can't come up with some magical resolution where the wires will magically be extended for you so you can just tuck it.

You don't have a lot of options, just cut, solder, and be done! It's just copper wire (for the most part) it's not anything super crazy or rare.

[tEknoS13]

Wow!! A lot of help in this thread

[OM3GA]

Well how nissan intended it to be can not be done because it normally routes differently being rhd. I guess i can just loop the main part of the harness behind the head and plug in the o2 wiring and then the rest should fall into place i hope. If i were doing an complete tuck i would definitely be cutting and extending the wires. Im just looking to have it be as stock looking as possible So well see how it turns out! I do understand what you are saying duffman haha nicely put.

the harnesses arent that different. ive done wire tucks and motor swaps on more than just 240s. i was like the 3rd guy to ever put a fuel injected motor into an 86 civic sedan. there was no guide, know what we did? we sat down and did what needed to be done to make it work and look good. this isnt rocket science, its extending a wire.

and he is bein helped, from what ive seen he's being spoon fed the answers but he's still not happy and fussing.

[OM3GA]

Yeah im not talking about extending wires here. I know how to do a wire tuck believe me, thats not what i want to do im trying to figure out what the best routing is without extending and tucking. All the nessecary wires are extended except for the o2 wiring thats what im trying to figure out. The only REAL difference of the harness is the direction they route which at the moment is keeping the wiring from looking clean so far. I made this thread to see what others did to see if there is a common clean oem style way to do it.

The only answers ive gotten are ones i already know. Please keep the d!ck a** comments to yourself or take them over to zilvia where they belong. I was never stating i wanted to extend any wires back there and have been wondering how most people do it. Im just wanting mainly pictures of cleanly routed harnesses with info on how it was done. Thanks for telling me what i already know.

[White Comet]

not to be a jerk and maybe i just don't get it, but if you're familiar with wire tucking and electrical work why not just extend the o2 sensor wires? i know you don't want to but its not a big deal to do. being pretty familiar with wiring i cut s*** all the time with out giving it a 2nd thought. if for some reason you make a mistake you can always solder it back together.

you got it

Yeah thanks, Yeah i could just extend those i suppose i made this thread to try and avoid doing that and just see what others do as well as see if theres looks good like that or not. Since its been so hard im just going to try and make it look as clean as i can and if that is still not clean enough then cutting and extending it is.

Yeah thanks for that shot! haha i was just looking through your thread and damn that is clean even though your friend is a meanie face not really cause i do the same s*** to other people asking stupid questions but still your setup is looking clean.

Damn it WC why does your engine bay have to be so clean?

I hear you there, its been close to 4 months for me because im taking my time on everything. I just received my Greddy intake manifold in the mail RIGHT NOW while typing this post haha yay

[White Comet]

sounds good. i'm at 1 year right now

[mrgreeneyes]

Damn it WC why does your engine bay have to be so clean?

Black/silver spray paint, Keegan wiring, not being driven.

those ingredients make for a clean bay.

OMEGA, you made a thread asking how to route wires. you HAVE to extend wires to do an sr swap. NO way around that. deal with that fact.

instead of making stupid threads, email people (like me) who've DONE the work, and ask REAL questions

[OM3GA]

Damn 1 year ugh i hope im done before then haha.

Yeah i know you have to extend them, ive extended all the usual necessary ones thats why im wondering about the o2 sensor wires because either i have to extend them (im not sure that you usually have to do this??) or loop the harness behind the head somehow so the o2 can plug in? Whats the best way around that? Sorry i should have changed the title to be more specific about the o2 wiring. (thats me slapping myself btw.)

[White Comet]

see therein lies the problem you can do it without extending the o2 wiring and only extending the bare minimum of what needs it. but you're asking for what other nico members have done. nico members tend to be lazy and sloppy for the most part. look at most sr swaps on here, wires everywhere, across the valve cover, spiraling around rad hoses, all sorts of ugly stuff. so that can provide you with what most nico members have done in this situation, but that neglects to be "clean" like you specified in the title. so the choice is really extend a few wires or look like d!ck

[OM3GA]

Very very true hmm i may just have to extend those wires, Can i extend just the o2 sensor wires itself? Or is that a bad idea?

i just wish, so so bad, that i could just reach my strong experienced, work toughened hand over there to hold your infantile sausage fingered toddler hand and just do your whole damned swap for you, so that way you dont have to even THINK about THINKING of pointless questions and comments relating to things 100% covered on the internet.

i guess i can only dream, right?

extend the wires that need extended. just freakin do it. DO IT. do it and shuuuuut upppppp. ill be SO happy to see your swap run, then find the thread you make asking us how you should best pilot your sweet fast motorcoach about your neighborhood and how to impress your friends with that JDM tyte swap you did ALL BY YOURSELF. wow. cool beans, bro. you are the winner at life. gold medal. envy of every 240 owner ever. mmmmm, the high life.
