This system is next level, I love the way you can break it up into sub harnesses all coming back to one point. As an industrial electrician who has spent a lot of time working on electric passenger trains this way of thinking makes installation & faultfinding so much easier and more importantly makes the occurrence of faults less likely in the first place.
I was really hoping for another wiring vlog. But the product speaks for itself. Keep it up guys, that’s an awesome vcu you’ve built. It’s company’s like haltech that prove “made in Australia” really means something. 👍
Welcome back! It's time to wire this monster - and who better to do it than our resident Cable Guy - Dave:) We will be using a slightly modified factory engine loom which will connect to a Haltech universal wiring harness. It's a big job which, apart from the usual engine components also includes all lights, fans, a whole bunch of sensors for speed, shock travel, brake pressure, transmission and even a reverse camera. Once everything is wired up we add an iC-7 dash and a CAN Keypad. ----------------------------------------------------------- Want a more in-depth look at the steps involved in wiring a car?

thank you so much for these videos. I'm for sure going to watch the wiring series he mentioned a few times. I'm in the beginning stage of a from scratch build and wiring is so overwhelming. I've decided I'm not settling for less than the best and going with the NEXUS
This is a great new product to meet some new technologies. I enjoy watching both of you guys working together. I would make a second engine wiring loom for his backup engine. With your bulkhead fittings it would cut a bunch of time doing an engine change.
Hi guys, watched this last night and really helped me get my head around what i'll be looking at with my new Nexus. Cant wait to get hold of it and start, hopefully backorders are not too far off. Great work and product, the IC7 functions and customisation have blown my mind.
We are doing our best to get all the backorders out as soon as possible. From our end it's great that demand for a product exceeds our expectations but yeah, we understand it doesn't help someone anxiously waiting for their order to arrive.
Are you still able to use the IO expander modules with the Nexus? I'm not knocking the CAN keypads, what if I wanted to use a factory window switch or other factory item over CAN bus?
the "fuses" are solid state fuses if that makes sense. I have no idea on the technical terms, i just remember them saying that in the last video, or one of their other videos on this unit.
@@harambeexpress Yeah i have NFI. Im horrible when it comes to automotive wiring and electronics. One of the things I dont have the confidence to learn/play with ahhaha
HashTagRealName I think they would be solid state relays rated at about 40amps....The only thing that trips the power is current sensing in the software!!! So in short....there are no fuses. The solid state relays can fail but at 25amps will be ok for a long time. If they do fail....I would say it's a soldering job! Just my opinion!!! But probably close to being dead on!!!

I've been in a series- parallel nitemare for decades.
With this layout you have
I feel as though I've finally hit the age of enlightenment.

Those autosport connectors are a slick bit of gear and make the world of difference for serviceability

Nice work Dave!

All good guys, good things take time. Taken me 10 years to build my 31 coupe.
Now its all up to me, Nexus has landed! I will be needing all the help i can get :-)
Awesome, Thanks Haltech, Tuning Fork, and Davo! The Nexus looks like it has amazing potential....
Amazing stuff guys!
I wish I had your knowledge to do my own wiring in my car...
Well fellas, looks like your company is steps ahead of others. The days of plug and play ECU connection is here.
incredible work boys, i love seeing this new product and how it will work out
Looking forward to doing mine as soon as you can get it out to me...
Might send the config first to make sure I have not missed anything...
looks great guys. cant wait to have a client order one.
Awesome stuff
Fricken AWESOME!🤜🤛
Whoa! Dave's deep and sexy voice over caught me off guard.
Oh yeah... isn't he just so silky and smooth....
Love you guys, love the nexus, wish I waited on buying my elite lol.
Don't be too worried, the Elites are still plenty powerful for most applications - and we'll be updating some to their features soon too:)
Any plans for a smaller NEXUS unit? Something that might be aimed at motorcycle powered race cars or Formula Student cars?
We never say never:)
Amazing!!!
Hi Gents, details on the reverse camera kit that was used please?
Dave looks like he needs a nap. Poor dude.
Are you still able to use the IO expander modules with the Nexus? I'm not knocking the CAN keypads, what if I wanted to use a factory window switch or other factory item over CAN bus?
Yes you can :-)
Out of interest, how did you make the icons (eg "Fuel pump 1") on the button panel? Are they custom made, or do Haltech make them?
These are our own, Haltech-specific icons:)
Dave/Scott, could we get info on the bulkhead connectors you guys are using here?!
These are the ones used in this build: www.ctals.com.au/collections/hd-hdp
Is the power delivery and/or fuses in the Nexus on replaceable daughter boards?

@@Mr_jz_12 yeah I thought I heard that in the last video. I'm not sure if it's possible to blow those - as opposed to just tripping them.

Mint ! Dave I've just sent you a message on IG 👍
Ball park on what that HOLE set up is worth $$ everything you just put in that car ?
A lot. probably 10k at least
I want to work with you🥺
Let Daveo go home and take a shower, already. He's done enough work for one day.
But, but, we still need him for the next episode...
@@haltech Well, give him his paycheck when he comes back.
@@idriwzrd He works for Coronas...
@@haltech Then definitely don't pay him until the job is done.
