Cool. I ended up shortening the majority of the harness today and eliminating things I'm not using... it's in a 240sx with a VQ, but nonetheless a VQ... The only shielded wire groupings I found were 3 for the TB and 1 for the knock sensor. These are the only ones I haven't shortened. I'll probably crack them open tomorrow and take a peak. I'll also take pics when I'm done for you guys.
Before...
After...
Wires removed from engine harness...
Wires removed from engine bay... (don't have any before pictures for that...)
Cranked first try!! Lotta work, little payoff, but eh, I always gotta have a project going
Right when I finish something on the car, I rip something else apart

Thanks guys.
It looks like a lot more work than it really is to be honest. When you have the harness all torn apart and all the wires out it seems kind of daunting, but once ya get going it gets easy.
From starting the tuck to finish, total time was probably 5-6 hours of actual work and thinking.
And Al, Get that Vortech in!! Your closet doesn't need any more power..

Yeah it's actually been done for quite a while now. Forgot to post it up.
All the wires were long enough, I just ran them out through the holes into the inner fender and secured them out of the way where i wanted them and shrink wrap/taped it all. very simple!
