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...

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
