Can you test the level sensors? I got a set of caps through eBay. I just put the test light & battery through the wiring, and I figured tat if one or both floats are UP (caps are upside down on the bench), then the light should go ON, right? thx.

I am having problems with my oil gauge not registering, which most likely is a bad connection somewhere. But wanted to confirm I didn't screw up my alternator upgrade and adaptor connections, as my oil gauge worked before I hooked them up, though they shouldn't have anything in common. Will accept any criticism for my own dumbassery if I connected them wrong!:cross-eye Arne, please confirm that I should have a spare wire on the adaptor unattached. Thanks!!

I have a problem with my 70Z backfireing though the carbs. I the stationary timing marker is gone and i really don't have any idea where the timing should be or if I get it close. Whenever I think I have the car running correctly it changes after running a while. I replaced the distributor with a Malory electronic one and also replaced the coil. Help!!

How do I remove the connectors from the plastic junction box under the passenger side dash without damaging it? It seems as if it would be self explanatory, but I'm having some difficulty. Leaving it connected would require me to remove the under dash harness and engine compartment harness as a unit, which I'd rather not do.

Using the search: I found this only relavent reference to shunt) " on my 75-280 I only have 1 fusible link box, located on the relay bracket. Underneath this box, is a metal box, 2" x 2" x 6" and it contains a copper strip, shaped like a "m", and 2 glass fuses. 2 large gauge wires ( 8ga maybe ) one white and one white/red connect to the large metal strip, and 2 light gauge wire…

83zxt coolant temp was working fine and then just went black. No frame no bars. speedo and tach still operational. Anyone worked on one of these enough to know if this is fixable. I have an analog unit from a 79 would this be a direct swap or would I need to splice wires.

Can anyone with a ZX manual please see if their FSM shows any specific tests to perform on the E12-80 ignition module to check its proper functioning? A basic resistance test with values not to exceed? Something along those lines? Thanks. -e

On my 76 280Z when I have the AC fan on #4 which is high, after about 10 minutes the motor starts whining. If I hit a bump in the road or turn it down to #3 it will stop whining for awhile.Does this sound like the bearings in the motor going out? If so should I stick to a Nissan replacement or an aftermarket. I don't even know if I can still find a new Nissan. Thanks

My car has been laid up since May 2005 getting the body painted. I needed a jump to get her started this morning and once home threw the trickle charge on the battery. This evening she has power but when turning the starter over she just dims out and clicks. I noticed the original battery connectors are pretty beat up. I cleaned them up but they're so bad its impossible to get them to tightened down. I'm thinking it might be replacement time. I see cables online priced from over $100 down to $6.00. Surely you get what you pay for. What I have now is the lead post connectors with the adjustment screw on the side. Anyone have a suggestion? I see one online retailer sugge…

There are two connectors on the 'Black box' on the side of the ZX dizzy. They look like this |- . I bought a reman model from Autozone and it does not label them as B or C as is supposedly shown on the E-12-80 module. I have seen two wiring diagrams, one on jrdremers and the other on the technical section here. My set up will be the same as the tech article complete with the MSD connections. However, they don't agree. Tech article link http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13085&highlight=distributor Could someone please tell me if the 'top of the T' or the 'stem of the T' is the B connection? Thanks,
