Hi People, thinking of keeping the Z now and putting it off road for the summer and doing some repairs. Going to remove the plenum and change the fuel lines underneath and injectors. But while doing the job was thinking of replacing the main engine wiring harness. But cant find any instrutions on how to replace the harness, can it be done on the ground or will i need a ramp?

 

Regards Andy

hi mate it can be done on the ground only difficult bit is you need to remove the glove box and air con units to get access to bolts holding harness onto firewall..

make sure you get the correct harness as ive fitted the wrong one and now thinking of ripping it out and doing it again, not such a difficult job..

great, did you have any instrution or did you just try and learn on the go? how long do you think it would take to do, would it be easier with the plenum off?

when the plenum is off is it much of a bigger job to remove the heads? if im going half way my aswell do it all lol and when the heads are off can the turbos be removed?

 

Regards Andy

hi andy no i didnt have a clue what i was doing , the hardest thing for me was stripping out the air con unit to free the loom inside the car, all in i think it took me 4 hours. best to take the plenium off completely easier to route cables.try and remember where you took connections from, and any hoses that you may have to remove if its tight. funny thing car started 1st time and its been idle for over 3 years..still i have some work to do on it to get it 100% again, if i can get motivated lol...
