Fail (Invisicord)

ImportConvert · 02-28-2012, 10:11 PM

Apparently GM uses different size wiring harnesses. Yep. Tried to force the one from my Z06 into the one in my 370Z. Luckily, somewhere along the way I was taught not to do blatantly stupid things, and when I noticed that it was more difficult to force in there than it had a right to be, I stopped, put it down, and went about my business. I looked on their website and I must order the appropriate one...

This is the new fused micro version of the Invisicord that fits smaller wiring harnesses as found on Nissan/Infiniti, as well as a few other makes/models.

If at first you don't succeed...STOP and think about it.

can't you file it down or cut it or dremel it or wat? it's just metal prongs, no?

Yeah, I could, but then...why not buy the correct product and get one with a fuse? Mine is older/fuseless, and my V1 cost me over $400.

oh i see... yah, the inline use is definitely cool. hey, i run a V1 too in both my G and Z (2units).

even the nissan invisicord was a pita to plug in. honestly gave up after trying for 3 days

but a few weeks later decided to try again and it actually went it. most aggravating thing ever
