I'm chasing a good sydney based auto sparky to rewire my 1600 sedan. Sydney area.

I'm doing a ground up rebuild, so want all new wiring. Im a mechanic so im doing all mechanical myself, a good mate is a marine trimmer so he's doing the leather, but no mates are auto sparkies. Plus im hopeless with electrics

FJ20ET, Autronic SM2/500R CDI, gauges, low/high fuel pumps, alarm/immobiliser etc etc

If you're interested in a CASH WORK ONLY re wire, give me a call.

Thanks, Dan 0429 142 641

it isnt hard to re wire a car but it is tedious and difficult to keep it neet. i have wired up thousends of boats and my fair shair of cars and would do it for you if i had sum time.

i would get your relo to do it if you trust him because it could cost you between $700-$2000 depending what you have. it took me 2 days with no harnes to sart with so a good sparky should have it done in a day if he dosent have much on

Well like i said, i'm in no rush so maybe we could sort sonething out.

Im hopless with electrics mate, it might be straight foward with a helping hand in the right direction, but i dont want lots of bugs or problems down the track.

I know the mechanical side will be fine because of my trade. Need the same peace of mind for the electrics too.

Hey mate

Maybe give Baz a hoi.

I was quoted:

HEADLAMP WIRING LOOM (wiring for headlamps, indicators, park lamps, horn. Includes mounting plate, fusebox, relays & connectors. Fully buit up and hidden)
$650.00

WIPER WIRING LOOM (Can have provision for 180SX motor)
$66.00

DASH LOOM + FUSE BOX + RELAYS, ETC (Varies depending on gauge setup & indicator switch type). (includes wiring, al connectors, relays, custom fuse box to integrate with ECU, etc., radio, heater, etc)
$480.00

STARTING/CHARGING Loom (includes reverse lights, speedo, oil water, starter alternator $140.00

Obviously not cheap but it is pretty much the whole car save the rear harness which is pretty easy to do yourself. I can even sell you an old but perfect rear loom if needed.

The big benefits are three fold for you.

1. You buy a harness from someone who knows these cars therefore it will fit properly
2. You buy it pre made and effectively off the shelf so no dropping a car off for a few weeks to be made
3. The quality from what I saw when I checked his premises out first hand is first rate. i think you would struggle to find an auto sparky who would do a similarily high quality job.

As I said, not cheap but I doubt you will get it any cheaper or at the same level fo quality anywhere else.

Only downside is waiting weeks for replies to emails but I guess ringing will take care of that.

Good luck

cheers

i'll give him a buzz thanks mate.

Hey mate, Andrew who did the full re wire on mine is mobile, and did a really good job, come over and check it out if u like,CAS Autoelectrical

x2 on Simon too, top bloke.

Been a while since i posted this, thought i'd bump it up.

I phoned Simon, seems like he does nice work, but in Newcastle. Plus i wanna see if i can get it done cheaper than his price..

Hey dan ace auto elects at kinsford do alot of awesome cars talk to chris
Cheers adam

I've posted this on a few other forums, with the same reply coming back..a guy called simon in Newcastle, NSW with business called Zap Bits. He is mobile (extra $500), or bring car to him from Sydney (2 hour drive).

He has quoted $4,000+ for a full re wire including parts. And has said it will takes six weeks. Can someone give me an honest opinion as to whether this is a fair price? Most smarts arse idiots on other forums carry on when i said i thought that was too expensive.

Surely $4k+ is what you'd expect to pay for a re wire in a shop (bill including GST), not someone doing on the side at their home??

I am happy to pay around 2.5 - 3K for a re wire. I understand it's labour intensive, but i really cannot see 4K in it. Considering it's not a 4 meter long Buick, only a small sedan. If you're wondering why i don't just cough up the extra 1K from my estimate, that 1K will mostly pay for my tune or engineers report etc. It's called a budget.

My mate is an auto elec and he charges 3g to start for a rewire then can go up from there depending on how far they want to go hidden wiring, ecu,pumps ect. So id say around 4g would be a fair price here's a pic of his 1600 engine bay to give you an idea of the sort of work he does

No sorry he's in Melbourne was just using him and his car as an example of what you can expect to pay for wiring.
