Today's car porn: I am creating a custom wiring harness for the '93 Nissan 300ZX V6 that is in my '71 Datsun 510. Previously I just used the entire 300ZX harness, but the 510 needs only about 1/2 of the wires, so I am building one from scratch. Today I added wires for the six fuel injectors.

Pictured are six wires with green tape on each. The tape is attached as a label. Each wire has two labels.  One is a number to indicate which "pin" on the engine computer it needs to go to. The other number indicates which cylinder it goes to so I can test the circuit before adding it to the connector.
Picture of a wiring harness connector with the six wires from the previous image plugged into it. Other wires are also plugged into the same connector.
Wider view of the engine connector showing roughly 25 wires plugged into the connector. The connector with then get plugged into the engine computer when everything is complete.

Man. Wires. Ugh. just keeping all the end points and lengths straight then the correct pins for the correct connectors for everything when merging wiring from 2 different cars. You’re a trooper! VG30 is a great 510 swap.
