When removing the antenna cable from the back of the radio, the male plug broke. The plug appears to have a capacitor with the natation “180PF +-10% 50V”. What purpose does this capacitor serve? Thanks, Keith

I have a 280z that sat for 5 years. I got the car up and running a few weeks ago. I failed an emissions test (am planning on getting classic car insurance which by passes emission test requirements in AZ) (idk if that has anything to do with my issue but figured I’d mention it.) the car was running fine and I didn’t notice any issue. I had to turn the key a few times to get the car to start but it stayed running. I drove it around, got an oil change at big o tires. When it came back and after a few new body parts and paint (which I had to remove my tail lights for, but reinstalled from what I can tell correctly) the car now won’t stay on. As I drive the car around th…

Went to install the PerTronix points replacement kit last night, and I'm a little concerned. I removed the vacuum pot to check the range of motion on the plate, and I'm worried the igniter wires will bind when the timing is advanced. See below. Retarded (OK): Advanced (not OK): Should I be concerned, or am I just being paranoid? Any suggestions on how to reduce/eliminate the interference? Feedback from others who've performed this install appreciated. Thanks!

Greetings I’m scratching my head last couple of weeks and couldn’t figure it out. I have the wire schematic and trace all the wires pertaining the signal fuse keeps blowing up. I’ve clean the multi switch at the steering wheel, 3 times. Unplugged/plugged back connectors at the passenger side and near the fuse box couple of time already. The fuse seem to last for couple of days the blow up again. the hazard switch and light work. I just couldn’t figure where the short wire is that cause the signal fuse blowing off any suggesting where else to look? Thanks

Hi all, The original clock is dead. I found instructions on this forum how to rebuild the clock. I happened to have 2 capacitors but don't have the smallest one. I believe 0.22uf. However, the instruction seem to suggest to replace the transistor as well. I don't have it yet. long story short, I able to get it run/spring when put face down. But orient position correctly, seem like it is too weak to oscillate. Learn that the Quartz version is more reliable than this one. Went ahead and get one for $5 knowing it is not working. Search online many hours and doesn't seem like anyone rebuilt it accept send it in to a shop or zclocks. Wonder why!!!! The…

I’m trying to track down an electrical issue and I’m going through the fsm and I found the wire I’m looking for, but it goes through the connector c-1. The issue is that on the last page, it shows the connector with the same shape that I saw on the diagram, but it has an arrow pointing to a different shaped connector. Does anyone know what this means? Image is attached.

Finally got my horn circuit working, but the horns just go "Doink." I know they can be taken apart, cleaned, and adjusted. But, has anyone got an aftermarket set they think sounds cool for a Z ? Looking for plug and play. Thanks!

Wondering if any folks knew the codes associated with the blanks for this common, not original ignition switch replacement . Keys are labeled car show with a unique identifier C23425? I noticed there are a lot of custom key blanks for the originals, but I wasn’t able to dig up if these are made for a bluebird or a 510 . ( note there is no door alarm functionality in this unit ). Any help is appreciated !

Max McCroskey at Resurrected Classics told me about this ignition at the ZCON People's Choice Show. It's like the Pertronix but at a much lower cost. Hot Spark Ignition for Hitachi They even offer volume pricing. It's cheap enough to order a couple of extra to keep as spares. https://www.ebay.com/itm/323788985736 Disclaimer: I have not used the Hot Spark ignition, and I have not installed it on anybody's car. I cannot speak to the quality or reliability of it.

Ok, another turn signal oddity. My hazards work and both arrows blink and light up in the dash. My turn signals both work but the right side does not light up in the dash. Any ideas?
