Wire Harness Modifications Begin

I'm just starting to build my wire harness now for my S14. My goal is the cleanest, lightest and most simple wire harness possible. The vehicle will be used mostly on the track, but I want to retain headlight/taillight/turn signal functions so it can be driven on the street as well.

Plans so far are:
1) Remove all HVAC-related circuits (that system won't be going back into the vehicle)
2) Remove all Audio circuits (same as HVAC)
3) Relocate Relay Box into cabin (shorten circuits, keep engine bay as clean as possible)
4) Pass all engine circuits through one wire-to-wire connector for easy engine removal/install (for future SR20 modding - it's being installed in stock form for now)
5) Replace ghetto wiring of Kouki lighting from 4 years ago. (i.e. solder and heat shrink instead of butt splices...I was so ignorant!)

And so it begins...

Said ghetto wiring technique...ewww.
