well found my wiring problem, had the suspension on my car for quite some time and never had this problem however at the track the tire got ahold of my wiring harness in the fender on the driver side.

Any ideas on relocating it to reduce the bulk of wires in the fenderwell? runs to the fuse/relay box next to the air filter not the main fuse box on the pass. side.

i just made a shield out of sheet metal, much easier than relocating into the engine bay.

mine sits atop the fender skeleton under the actual fender. kinda makes the fender sit a lil bit funny.

that's how i did it with my silvia front too. i didn't really like the tension it put on the harness. it seems like it's easier to do with s14 or silvia front too. cause i tried it with my 180 front and it wouldn't work.

an engine swap doesn't eliminate the chassis harness

i looks like a piece of metal. it covers the wiring harness. i used rivets. i bought the metal at home depot. i bought metal that i could bend with my hands. i used a cordless drill and a saw zaw. where the harness touches an edge of the metal i cover it with tape.

i may do that or when i fix the wiring extend them all enough to move it to under the actual fender w/o putting too much stress on the wiring.
