Default OEM Wiring Work
Just showing off some of the things I've been up to. I'm always looking for ways to improve our wiring work and have finally got some reliable sources for OEM terminals, wire seals, etc for Toyota connectors. This allows us to do wiring work with NO splices in the harness at all. It also allows us to build wiring harnesses completely from scratch, to OEM specifications.

A few pics for you.

Brand new connector housing, wire, wire seals, and terminals.



Adding the wire seal....



Crimped the terminal...



Installed into the connector housing...



Here I'm wiring up a new ignition harness for a 2JZGTE.

We've been doing this for five years and I try to get on the forums as much as possible, but time is a resource I have very little of. I've actually had these pics on my laptop for a while now and decided today to work late and post them up (it's 11:30 here)

nice work, ive been looking for the same hardware also. but for wire tuck purposes, so i can just reroute and plug in wires instead of having to extend/solder/heatshrink all the wires.

NICE!!! I have to say I was wondering when this was going to happen. I have been looking at doing something like this as I am not really excited about soldering the wires.

Nice work...now go clean your nails LOL

I know, right? Nothing like unlooming dirty, greasy harnesses all day for the fingernails
