Out with the new, in with the older... 89 HATCH

[l2edken]

Sup guys

Might remember me, i owned a 1994 240sx Convert, all black... Sexy. Anyway, that s*** crashed, rebuilt it, and just recently sold it to a very happy owner. ( YES i did tell him about the accident)

Felt the need for a roof over my head so i played the market until i came across a deal in my books.

1989 240sx Hatch with a swapped 97' KA24DE with 5 speed, with only 85000 approx miles. Car runs like a champ with a full 3 inch, ricer extreme exhaust.

However, all is not well... Whoever did the swap must have been f***ing blind because they man-handled the ENTIRE wiring harness like it was a 5 dollar hooker...

Car came with a XTD stage 3 clutch NIB and full turbo kit minus turbo and injectors... Intercooler mounted aswell

onto pics... yeah theres a ton,































Yeah, as you can see i wasnt joking about the wiring...

If you guys have any input, hit me up, i need the help here...

BTW for replacing the lighting harness which harness should i use? Correct me if im wrong but i believe it is called the engine room harness?

Also if you have any of those parts i need, please leave a message on here

Updates coming soon...

Where the hell's the turbo for the FMIC?!!

[breadbox]

Nice. Have fun.

[SirSilvia]

such abuse... STRIP IT! ...maybe you'll find the turbo under all that ungodly wiring

[zerepdivad]

That's the most cracked out wiring i have seen in a long time....... and i work in mobile electronics and have to fix cracked out stuff like that on a daily basis but that just takes the cake...........what did you pay for it?

[dray3OOO]

wow who owned the car before you edward scissorhands

[Thamm]

Lol interfooler.

[l2edken]

bought for 1000

[SirSilvia]

bought for 1000

hatch is great, engine and transmission great, just weird lights and s*** that dont work, headlights work, but no motor control, just on and off... No ac hookup, no front blinkers or horn, no reverse,brake...so weird

[driven_]

wow, you took it in the butt.

i would have never bought anyone's headache.esp. with wiring.

but if youre that type of person, sure.

good luck.

Mother of pearl that's the worst wiring I've ever seen. Thank god it's not an SR harness or you'd have more trouble finding a new harness.

Does it even run? If it does I'm amazed, and saddened LOL.

Good luck man, hope you got it for mega cheap considering the work you're going to do.

Honestly here's what you need to do, and its not that bad, just takes some patience.Get a new engine harness, that current "Megaoctopus" is beyond repair!If that body harness is bad:Go to a junkyard, strip a junk cars wiring harness, then strip your interior all out, remove your body harness, and install the junkyard one.

took it in the but? ohh s*** i need to replace the harness, word 200 bucks? perfectly running car with no rust, yeah butt dude totally...

[l2edken]

the car runs mint, the engine harness itself is fine, the other "edward scissorhands" wiring is like headlight up and down control, blinkers, horn, nothing major, the car runs so nice...

[zerepdivad]

Car looks a lot like someone halfassed it to run and then sold it to a jackass........ who got a steal!.......

[NIzmoS13]

Where the hell's the turbo for the FMIC?!!

That is exacly what i was trying to figure out but its definately an interfooler would be surprised if it had a whistler in the exhaust system ..The wiring is a spaghetti mess for sure... fire hazard in full effect.....

[stone184]

Sweet interfooler!

[RCCC_DRiFteR]

At least you have good door panels!! and a S14 cluster!!

[Uberck]

Where the hell's the turbo for the FMIC?!!

since when is a turbo necessary to run an intercooler? am i missing something?

[krayzie94]

The car is nearly rust free & a replacement KA harness costs next to nothing...

I think he got a pretty good deal. He got a new clutch & everything needed to go boosted except the turbo & injectors.

His car should be KA-T for about $2000 total....Not the BEST setup...something like DSM injectors & a used turbo.

[l2edken]

GOD THANK YOU

[mikep1745]

looks decent good luck with the proj

[heartofaskyline]

i wouldnt have paid that much for it just because i wouldnt want to deal with that hassle. i wouldnt call it a steal, but its worth what you paid.

theres no need for any extra wire for swapping in an obd2 motor into a s13. i did it in my coupe, and all i did was swap over what was necessary from the blown s13 motor to the obd2 motor. i also installed the s13 cams back into the obd2 motor. if you do this, make sure you weld up the holes on the last cam journal. obd2 and obd1 heads are different.

[ca18detgabby]

sweet mother of god........... I would never want to deal with that mess.

I would probably given 1/2 that for it, and he could keep all the extra crap.

least it is a decent "running" shell I guess.
