hey everyone, for anyone that has ever done a conversion ud know that wireing is probably a bit of a big job, but how long should it take for an auto sparky to wire up a ute? its only the intergration of the ca and the 1200 loom an a few guages, so far the sparky has had it for 5 weeks and not much has been done to it, and he reckons he needs it for another 6 weeks... dose that sound right? i think thats far to long, just my opinion, what dose everyone else think? how long did it take everyone else to have thier electrical conversion finished?

just tell him that u want it done this week or else ur picking it up and not paying for what hes done.

yeah thats what i thought when he said it to me, ive had a chat to my old man and were giving him 1 week and if he dosnet like it well tuff really, i just want it to go haha

with my loom cleaned up (deleted some of the useless wires) it took me and a mate about 4 hours to do the rest of it, and im no auto sparky

When the dude asked for payment say "leave it with me for 5 or 6 weeks and I will get back to you"

A week at the most is all it should take, and that would be in a busie workshop.

my guy took 4 hours to put the harness on and get it goin and relokat the batt and run the wires too fue tank

if it's taking that long, it's either because they have no idea what to do or it's not a priority, or they're going out of business.

I'd get the parts back and find another person to do the work.

30 hours tops. Including time taken to find new grommets at the wreckers, and putting connectors in places to allow engine to be removed easily.

I would recommend:
1. putting a relay into the 'parking lights' circuit as they are susceptible to rust, and can melt wires and connectors.
2. putting another relay in for the headlights and upgrading them to halogen H4 inserts.
3. modify/splice the alternator wiring into the 1200 wiring.
4. Upgrade the electricals to use separate fusible links for 'datsun stuff', and 'nissan stuff'.
5. consider wiring for boost control solenoid.
6. thermo fans
7. intercooler pump spray
8. car alarm.

It's possible to do all this in a day if you have more than one person working on the car, and it's done at a workshop with all the parts/wire available.

Hope this helps.
