cleaning up rear hatch wires
 

So I'm wanting to clean up any unnecessary wires that the Nismo does not use in the rear hatch compartment. Do any of you guys know for sure what wires go to what, and if any can be eliminated?

I know the custom ground wire running from the battery over the cross-member can be moved to the other side closer to my battery. Anything else I can ditch?

I just wanna know why??? I'm guessing you race and are trying to cut weight but if you took all those wires out you wouldn't save a pound.

You could just start hacking out one at a time and when something important quits working solder it back together;)

:iagree:

Op,

Unless your installing something? Id leave them alone.

There's no need to create problems where there shouldn't be.

well, here's a tip. don't cut the white wire harness looking thing that looks like it doesn't go to anything....I just did and lost the ability to open the hatch from outside...luckily I know how to rewire...it was a PAIN!

White tape?? Lol

White out.

OP, why?

mwhit02 do you plan on driving around like that whether it be track or street use? I personally like the look and feel of being gutted not to mention I like the noise as well (exhaust/road). Just adds to the race car/inspired feel to it. As far as the additional wire removal not saving any weight I hear that. But removing all that other stuff in the hatch I’m sure some weight is being saved. Does anybody know of a universal spare tire screw holder that will work with the spare and the screw hole to keep the spare secure in the hatch instead of having it move around freely like other vehicles come equipped with?

im confused here, dont we already have one? i know my spare is screwed down with that large weird looking bolt.

I've heard removing the spare isn't good for rear traction, the car is already light in the rear.

I'm going to have to check again. If so even better.
