Wiring

Decided I'm going to get the AW re wired. Where is a good place to get it done? Just need a estimate on price

I am building my car from a bare shell and am going to do the engine loom and some of the cabin loom from scratch. I have already stripped a bunch of the crap from the front end and dash loom and that was a nightmare. You will spend megabucks paying to have it done. What actually wrong with the loom now?

Wiring is a very time consuming process and therefore quite costly, what are you prepared to pay?

I was talking to you about your car at speedshow today. Think I'll get the front and rear halfs re-wired. Not really bothered on price as long as it doesn't get crazy

Yep hahah, well it could be easier to obtain a second hand harness from a wrecked aw11 and much less pricey, send me a pm as I wouldn't mind checking out your AW some time, sounds like you possibly have some relay problems.

Hi Aidan

Good to see you again.Check out this link http://www.fero.co.nz Its the company that makes wiring looms that I work for.I agree that maybe you should just get the sub looms done.Second hand harnesses and connectors can be heaps of trouble.A hand made harness involves a lot more than just wires.You need to get the right gauges of wire ,the right lengths,the correct splices and these need to be made to a loo map ,they can take many hours. We make OEM looms for Toyota among other makes so it comes from experience.

I have seen many bad so called "new harnesses" often the connectors are hand crimped not machine crimped so that in many cases pull off.You can't buy OEM connectors for Toyotaas spares

None of the problems you describe make me think that you have bad wiring apart from the fact that it looks a little ropes.It is
More likely an earth problem or a relay. Ropey wiring as long as it hasn't been cut can be tidied up easily.

if you call Warren at the number I gave you he can get you running and give you an opinion on the wiring.It will be money well spent instead of firing off on a rewire that may or may not be better.

if indeed you need a rewire or new loom I can help you with the connectors and I can map it for you.

Hope this helps

Mike
