Newman's E30/Skyline swap thread

[newman]

Got the top wiring harness all modded and in the car yesterday. This should be all of the wiring you can see in the entire engine bay.





The carrier is a factory part. I used vinyl tape and split braided loom to cover the harness, I also relocated the dropping resistor to the interior of the vehicle.



And here's the mess that I still need to contend with...

How is the new tunnel cover planning going?

[newman]

That's already done:

showoff.









Any news on interior plans then?

[newman]

Seats and a dashboard for now. Maybe some CF door panels.

No carpet

Def sweet, but I have NOOOO money left.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Well, I assume once it ends up in a few "Ricer" mag's, it will end up being gone thru again, and when that happens, you can look back on my suggestion.
;)

[newman]

Lol. Def goin in ricer mags. :D

vinyl tape in the engine bay? Is that a horrible idea or are you using special engineer vinyl tape that doesn't melt to all shit?

Aside from that, looks awesome.

Haha, it's just electrical tape. It holds up fine.

[kronus]

Hmm. Must have been the tape i was using, then. Nothing like picking melted plastic goop off the inside of your engine bay!
