Again;
the VIN is important as cars were titled by year;
which may or may not be the true model year of the
car.
Exact
Nissan harnesses to match particular vin numbererd
cars or years of cars are not always available. Many
times you can still have a new harness with some minor
adjustments to the harnesses that are still
available.
Exact
dash harness is no longer available for the earlier
65-67 cars. Another Nissan harness, (the later 65-67
dash harness) which is slightly different; is. When
using it with a later hood harness; as in the 65-67
kits listed; there is no problem; just plug it in and
go.
Nissan
created an improved harness using a heavier wire in a
particularly loaded circuit, (cigarette lighter) and
to increase availability, the other harnesses are
superceded to this one. The spots where they exited
the horn and/or headlight relays may be in a slightly
different location; and it may be necessary to move
your relays on the inner fenderwell. These relays are
just attached with sheet metal screws to the inner
fender so it's not difficult.
The
later 65-67.5 hood harness however has another
difference. This harness has the yellow temperature
sender wire exiting the harness on the passenger side
of the vehicle; instead of right by your washer
bottle. (This is because the intended use of the
harness was for a 67 2000). There are two ways to make
this situation "correct" for your car. You can either
extend the wire back along the hood harness in front
of the radiator to exit by your washer tank; or unwrap
the harness a little bit by the washer tank, find the
appropriate yellow wire, cut it and extend it over to
your temperature sender; which is located on the front
left side of the cylinder head. If going this route I
would also suggest cutting off the
These
are all "new" harnesses in that they have not been
installed on a car. Some were made recently, some
before that, some even in the initial production run.
Even resting comfortably on a shelf it is not unusual
to see one of the many wrapping tape ends starting to
unravel. Sometimes we catch this and add a little bit
to the ends, sometimes not. It's also possible to
sometimes find a stress crack in one of the plugs, or
even a small piece out of the back end of one. I think
there might have been some sort of machine that put
the wires in the plugs. It won't be anything that
effects the functioning of the plug-in. I consider us
very lucky to still have some stock of these Nissan
harnesses.
