The real way is not easy. You have to cut all of the tape a loom off and relocate all of the fuses and relays to somewhere else. I prefer under the dash by the glove box. Most wires reach and do not have to be lengthened.

ill be breif, i never take pictures when i do this stuff, even though i always tell my self i will

remove the body harness via the smj (thats what nissan calls it its a big white block thats held in with a 10mm bolt) then strip every peice of tape off it, probably about 2 lbs worth, then what i do is cut all the grounds off to free the harness up, ( i make new grounds when i am done) and i free all the relays from the box and pull everything all the way to the inside of the car, youll have soo much wire that you can relocate it to the passenger side of the vehicle, if you ditch the heater core stuff youll be able to mount it nicely if not youll have to get creative

this takes alot of itme and planning, you have to know exactly what your going to use and what you arent, this is a perfect time to remove all the wires you wont be using, i spend alot of time in the fsm tracking and tracing wires, i usually write everything down and label everything,

then i depin from the smj the stuff i am not using, this leaves you with nice clean well done wire tuck, with nothing hanging in the fenders or behind the bumper. if you wanna get crazy this would be the time to tackle the under dash harness as well, but thats if you want to get crazy.

On my car the only wires that go out to the front is the head lights, signals, horn, and radiator fan,

I'm assuming you mean to the front bumper. As you still need wiring to run the engine.

Here is the fuse box i made behind the glove box when i did mine.



Under hood shot.



All the wires were run inside the fenders on each side for the lights, fans, horn, and what not. I learned a few things and know how to clean it up a little more now with the P10. Check the link in my sig for what ive done there. Just about to finish up the harness and get it back in the car.
