simbasupra Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Hi guys Im removing my 2jz-gte out of my uk supra. Im at the stage of removing the wiring loom from inside the car, i have removed the glovebox, passenger airbag and a air duct, however i still cant see where the wiring loom enters the car. How much do i have to strip out of the interior? does the dash have to come out? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Dont rip anything else out!! It's dead easy just simply pull back the passenger footwell carpet, unscrew the ecu plastic kick guard then unplug the ecu. There is 2 connectors one of which pulls out the other has a 10mm bolt in the middle. Also follow the loom down the firewall as there is about 3-4 more small connectors down that area. You should be able to see quite clearly everything by laying in the footwell. Once this is all unplugged start pulling the loom out from the bulkhead wiggling it as you go. Dont force any thing just take your time. Luckily mine came out within 30 seconds, it might help taping a bag around the connectors from inside the car so nothing gets caught.

Lee P Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 ****Best me to it lol....,**** You don't have to strip it, undo the 2 bolts in the engine bay that hold the loom on Unplug everything down by the ecu There are a few plugs that plug in to the car aswell as ecu Then pull the whole loom through from the engine bay side, be careful not to damage plugs or wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Lol thats rare for me I'm on my phone nowadays Hey two great answers, let us know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbasupra Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Its out! Bit of a wiggle and it came out. Dont think it will be much fun getting it back in though. The wiring looks like it has been modified a bit though, not sure if something has been fitted at some point, i have taken a picture, any ideas?

SPG Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Probably best investing some time in a little loom tidying buddy, heat shrink those sections that have insulation tape on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do, any ideas what could have been fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzy T Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I'd guess a Fuel Cut Defender as I think they need splicing in up near the ecu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev.O Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Could it be where an after market alarm immobiliser was once wired in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
