I'm getting ready to undercoat the rest of the interior in my bronze '78 280z and then install soundproofing and new carpet. Can anyone tell me where or to what this connector goes? It is part of the wiring harness on the passenger side floorboard and does not appear to be connected to the console wiring harness. I've matched the parking brake and drivers seat belt warning light connections but forgot to label this one when I took the interior out. Thanks!

I was just going through the boxes in my garage and I found four of these combo switches for the lights and wipers. I think they are 280Z switches from my Pick and Pull diving days... What are they worth? Do they work on my 240Z or should I just sell them?

I need to replace my speedometer dash bulb, although i can't seem to find any information on doing this in the FSM. I also cannot find any relevant information on the boards on how to replace the bulb without ripping the dashboard out. I am not going to be taking the dash out again...i'd rather drive with no speedo-lights at night then go through that headache again. I also doubt that Nissan made a car that required dashboard removal to change a bulb. So that leads me to ask, "How do i change the speedometer bulb?" A step by step, pictures, or just any advice would be great. Information on the bulb size would also be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Hi Folks: First post. Helping my friend with his car. Just been removed from long term storage and he tells me he has no fuel flow to the injectors. Figured I would start at the fuse panel. Is there a fuse or fuseable link for the fuel pump and where is it? From there I'll put my multi meter on the lead at the pump and see if there is power to the unit. I read the "key on key off or starter engaged" debate. Very light hearted... I have no schematic which would help. By the way I know nothing about these cars but I'm a mechanic by training and should be able to struggle through with the help of this forum. Very Respectfully, 60Vette

What purpose does this cable serve??? The one in my car was falling apart so I just cut it off and replaced it with one wire. Was this wrong to do? Because my car is having a bad time starting!!!

Is it true that the later alternators from 280's will fit a '70 without alteration? If so, do I have to replace the ammeter? Thanks Mike

I've been hunting down the cause of an intermittent "no crank" issue that appears to caused by a shaky fusible link to harness connection. The white plastic connector on the harness is brittle and 60-70% gone!! I can cobble it back together with dielectric grease and eletrical tape but, I would rather replace the brittle connector with a new one (if that's even doable!) I thought about havesting one from a junkyard 240 but, it would be ~37 years old too! Any suggestions on how to make this connection water/corrosion proof again??

I just got a couple of original horns and both seem to be inoperative(hooked them directly to the battery to test them) Does anyone know if they are rebuild able and how? I made a half-hearted search of the forums and came up dry. Thanks, H Houghton

My L28 was beginning to experience some hiccups lately. It would start and run easily enough but would run 'flat' with poor throttle response and the thing would hesitate until the engine was fully warmed up. First thought that came to mind was the carby. Don't all investigations start with the carby? However, the engine had been running well a while ago and had only started to degrade recently. I had a good look at things under the bonnet. I asked myself the question...."How old are these guys?" The leads were the original L20AET ones I got from a Jap import motor I bought way back in 1990. They looked good and weren't crossfiring but were they up to scratch? Time …

Just finished installing the ZX dizzy into my 73. The wiring diagram I was working off of didn't say what to do with the yellow wire that went to the old points. Should I just tape/cap and leave it, or is it supposed to be wired to something?

Ok, I am the proud owner of an 82 280. The person I bought it from said it needed a new alt. He purchased one but never installed it. Bought the car and drove it home on just the battery. Today I wanted to install the alt. I took the old one out but it didnt match the new one. I went to autozone to make sure the right one was purchased. The alt in the car matched up to a 77 280. The wiring on the back is hacked up so I am not sure how to hook up the alt. Can I make this alt work or not and if I can which wires go where.
