Hope you have big pockets its not a cheap excersise even just the engine bay would be 2500+

Edit - Forgot the important bit lol

Just about any Auto Electrical place could do it, so grab the yellow pages out and "let your fingers do the walking" or whatever the slogan used to be

I would have a crack but don't really have the time at the moment, there's a guy Dave that works in the shop next to me (Gibbs Auto Electrical) he's been in the trade for a long time and has done a fair few wiring jobs. Zebra is right, its a very costly exercise, unless you're turning into a show car or stripping it for track duties and wanting everything hidden, id just fix whatevers faulty.

But if you've got the coin then go for it! PM me for a quote :happy:

What about just finding out what connectors are broken and compiling a list, then take it to a nissan dealership or wrecker or donor car.

replacing connectors is hell cheaper than the whole loom

also is there a specific loom section that is really bad? many ecu manufacturers can supply a 'raw' loom for around the $400 mark, you just need all the connectors and lots of protective tubes/heatshrink/lekkie tape

Ive built about 10 wiring looms in the last few years, very time consuming. If you can narrow it down to a certain area on teh car I may be able to help moar?

Id ask nissan for a cost reference (make sure you research the exact part #s before you ask otehrwise they wont take you seriously) for the engine harness, engine bay loom, dash harness, and the remaining interior harnesses.

I wouldnt expect that you'd get much change out of 10k for the lot as new genuine parts which would then be a case of strip ther interior etc and remove every harness to replace with the new ones...

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
