Hi

The loom on my car was way beyond my abilities, I had Al Butler at Sunspares in Brisbane do mine, there's also a guy ion Newcastle that does them as well, his name is Andrew Todd.

Cheers Steve

Cruise contol is a stand alone system and can be isolated.

Keyless entry is also stand along and does on affect the immobilizer.

Just keep your key/immobilizer/ECU matched up.

I find these very useful https://www.bunnings.com.au/sontax-small-cable-clamp-pro_p7050103 

Different to what I have but just an update.

Never done this - but have read with interest.

Cost V's Effort getting someone else to do it seems to be the way to go

You can isolate like mackaymanx says. It shouldn't be a problem. I have done about 3 wiring looms myself in the past but for the time it takes me where I could be doing other parts of a conversion I send the harness down to AGT engineering in Newcastle to be done these days.
About to send a 2000 EJ20 loom down for him to do, turn around is about 2 weeks or faster.

Ohh and a tip if you are going to do it yourself... i use occy straps and hang the whole harness like a web in my shed, that way you can strip, group, label standing up and really stretch out the wires so they dont get in the way. I tried doing it on tables but just didnt work for me.

Do you have the correct pinout? Always helps if you have a good color A3 printout of wiring and pin layout

Yep doing all myself and have done EJ22 prior
Great idea to hang the loom will see how the spider web looks
Thanks guys for thei input
