Is wiring harness suppose to come cut at one end?

[NisanS13turbo]

Alrite, I purchased a front clip from Ricky's Auto located in Florida and suppose to come complete with no wiring cut. But the wiring harness was cut at one end, I wasnt sure if it was suppose to be cut or did they really F**K me up?

Here is a picture of it >>>

doesnt look like nothing you couldnt fix, and your picture is not very good, its in focus n all but the harness is all jumbled up and the with the bad background I cant tell what part of the harness that is put some cardboard out and take a picture of the harness on it.

Ok, picture is not focus but, about the sr harness, is there any wiring in the harness that can be cut? or do I need the whole complete harness for my engine to start?

[slow s13]

yeah there are some wires that can be cut, you need to figure out what part that is, that got cut

judging by your picture it looks like that is the maf wiring that is cut. but then again, the picture isnt all that good

Alrite, here's a better view of it......

Peel some of the insulation back and post the wire colors, they can be solid or a color with a stripe like brown with black stripe for example.

Is there a conector of any kinda on that wire? if so how many pins? I think that might be the power wires. If there are some heavy gauge wires in that part of the harness thats the power part of the harness that leads to what should be the f10 and f8 plugs.

The more I look at this the more I think its the power wires, of course the motor will not start without these because the ECU will not be on. You will have to splice these into your stock wires wich shouldnt be to hard. Even if the plugs where there the pins have to be rearanged anyway so its releay no big deal.

10 bucks says it's MAF. Did the clip come with a MAF? If that plug is cut, I doubt it. I;ve seen many "complete" harnesses come with a cut MAF plug because the car had a Z32 MAF implanted on it.

Check on your ECU plug to make sure the thick white wire on it isn't cut. That's one of the MAF signal wires and many aftermarket piggy back systems tap that wire to alter the input signal. They get cut, but when the car is junked, the unit gets yanked, but the wire never gets fixed.

What part of my stock wiring should I splice to fit the end of the sr harness?Yes I have the MAF sensor!

go here and check the install faq

I kinda sounds like you need to do alot of research before you put the motor in, are you going to have some help? You do have to extend some of the wires because in Japan the ecu is on the other side of the car.
