got started on the wiring today, there is soooo much shit its so bloody annoying! im trying to seperate the standard 1200 loom from the z18et factory loom and its a huge mission! i have managed to get all of the loom apart in the engine bay but i still have so much to do under the dash!

Wow that sucks...my Z18ET has got pretty basic wiring and pretty much all of it is just in the engine bay since I mostly used the existing L18 wiring. Are you using the Z18ET gauges or something?

haha yes its not amazing.. and i have about no electrical experiance apart form putting in headunits ect! but as my mate said, "a computer is just the same as a sterio, just more wires" haha! i guess he's right..

and thats not all the z18et loom.. but i need to get rid of the z18et loom, and its all mixed in with the 1200 loom... so i have to peel everything apart.. and none of the lights or electrics was working in the 1200 loom before.. so hopefully i can fix the problem now.. but there's so many wires haha!

Best to divorce the Z18 wiring from the 1200 wiring completely, (Sounds like thats what you're doing anyway) and get everrything on the car working properly first. Then refit the Z18 loom, and attach it to the car. The Z18 should only need a few wires attached to the car to run.

cheers bartman, thats exactly what i was doing. a few parts have had me confused, like for instance, there was a wire from the z18et computer, to a relay, then to full time power.. and those were the only wires in the relay.. so i dont understand what would be the trip for the relay because i dont know what would come from the computer and do that.. but who knows!! chances are i will have to rewire most the the standard electrics anyway! but atleast i'll gain some electrical knowledge while i do it all haha!
