Another "Can Someone Make Me A Wire Adapter" Thread

[e30rapidic]

I made my own adapter then hard wired it after everything worked. Hard wired is much cleaner.

Plus you could probably sell a hardwired plug/harness for $300 on here to someone who is to lazy to make their own.

Sure, wanna bring it at the picnic?

[Jand3rson]

nando, do you need another C101? I have the one from the adapter Greg made me, don't need it anymore since Andrew hard-wired everything in.

[ACHTUNG]

Do it. Makes everything sooo much cleaner. Glad I did. I think EricT still does them?

Yes, Nando did a harness conversion not an adapter for me. It will look much better than an adapter. Word. Up. Yo.

its pretty easy to do. I did one and everything worked first time. Next step is to ditch the adapter and swap in a c101 plug to clean it up.

^lol

If someone wants to ship me their OBD1/2 Harness i can repin it and make it so you dont need an "adapter"
:D

[giantkeeper]

I need one of the covers....thanks for the reminder

[nando]

I have parts for 2 more adapters and 2 more harness conversions

I have to finish butters' harness, poor dude - the guy he got the harness from hacked off all the relays, so I gotta fix that too. :(

[328ijunkie]

seriously, it's easy to do if you spend some time researching. I'm in the process of pulling my adapter out and swapping on a C101 connector for that cleaner look....and removed all the unnecessary wires this afternoon. Also planning to move relays back to where they mount on an M20 harness and going to move the diagnostic port (just not sure where yet).

I hadn't done too much automotive wiring before but once you get in there and sort wires out and bundle together, its pretty damn easy. I did mine on the kitchen table in less than one hour.

Proper way of doing the wiring :D

I haven't installed it yet but Nando (Chris) did a clean job on my harness conversion! Pro work man!

We'll see how it works once my swap is complete but I'm sure it will be just fine.

use the E30 M3 harness cover. there is a place for 4 relays inside the cover and the diagnostics port mounts on the drivers side of it. it's perfect. I hated that aux relay box on the M20, it always got in my way.

It really is easy, and doing it yourself gives you some knowledge of the electrical system that you just might find useful if things don't go smoothly on completion.

If everybody poured over the ETms we'd have less "where does this plug go?" threads around here. And way less "why won't my car start threads?"
