Need some advice for removing the wiring loom on an R32 GTR. The car is about to be resprayed, inside and out, so I've removed the wiring to the point where it only protrudes through the firewall on the drivers side.

The engine is staying in place so I dont want to unplug the engine wiring loom, just need to remove all interior wires.

Should I keep the wiring in the car and mask up?

OR

Somehow feed the engine bay wiring through the firewall into the interior and remove altogether? I dont know how to do this...

Engine bay was resprayed some time ago when the engine was out.

Now it's time to spray the exterior, stripped interior, and cage. Gone to the effort of removing windows and all interior trim so want to do the job right and remove all wiring in the interior only.

Question is, how do you remove the interior wiring without touching the engine wiring loom as it appears to be connected...

Well Iv just re sprayed a Mitsubishi evo wagon for a customer full strip down engine out, everything off, all interior out and the only thing they left was the interior wiring. I masked it all up sprayed over it, job done looked great. I wouldn't go through the hassle of taking it out!

On closer inspection (during daylight) I was able to quickly figure this out.

The plugs are all held together by the large square plastic retainer as shown in the pic. All of the plugs can be removed from the retainer and then separated. Just a pain to unclip some of the smaller plugs.

So now all interior wiring has been removed. Only engine wiring loom remains :)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.

      Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
