Hey guys, as you can see there is a few quite alot of wiring action going on at the back the engine, Has anyone relocated these sensors/plugs or what ever they are ect? Im thinking they're in a vulnerable spot in terms of getting to hot considering they're jammed up at the back of then engine bay around the cam covers.
any advice on how to get these sh**ts out of the way would be much appreciated

Can anyone tell me where and how to relocate all these wires!? it just looks messy!

I wouldnt worry about heat

I have a wiring harness running a few inches away from turbo/wastegate/exhaust running 23psi and just shy of 300rwkw at the moment and all I have on it is heat wrap. No melting yet

it does look fairly hideous though, How come all that stuff is there like that? Removed for some reason and never properly put back?

My O2 sensor plug isn't happy. The plug is nearly lost its shape and the wiring that is close to that region has brittle coating. That top half of the engine isn't so bad, I'd be more concerned about anything you have near the hot side.

yeah @89CAL initially i was going put it back together but while i wasdoign the engine swap all the mounts and brackets were lost :/

And hence the reason why i was asking Ben, Do you think it would be to complicated or time consuming?
I hate having them just flopping around there any knowledge as to how to move them would be appreciated.

Well to move them it's easy.

Pull apart the loom and then shorten or extend the wires to where you want them. Preferably on the inlet side so it's cooler

If it was me i would just make a couple of simple brackets for where they are and call it a day.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
