Engine Harness Needed Please Read

For any of you who have an old engine harness laying around in your garage, that will fit an '83 turbo, I would really like to take it off your hands, I am going to try and remake it due to the fact the Nissan shop want's $1,800.00

So if you have one please email me.

Thanks,

So your car has no harness at all? If I were you I would just go with and aftermarket engine management system like Megasquirt.

Wow, ok thank you! Confused on what that site is but ok!!

No the engine harness in my car works, keyword "works". But it needs replacement, so I am looking for one pulled out of a z that works on an '83 Turbo, so I can fabricate one.

Anyone know where I can get one?!?

Thanks,

Read up on Megasquirt: http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html

If you are just replacing the harness, go megasquirt n spark. You will benefit so much more over the stock ecu... especially w/ a turbo. A complete setup will cost about $450... replacing the stock wiring will cost about $100 (you can find them on ebay just about every week). Or upgrade to the Z31T ecu.

BTW... what parts of your wiring harness have problems?

Some of the wires are exposed, some are cracking, just want to do it right take a few minutes and replace it.

I'm looking at this home made ECU, and kinda just like "huh"


This will replace the ECU in my '83 but do I need the OEM ecu to controll the gauges due to the fact they're digital? Or anything else for that matter?
