So I know a pretty good amount about this sort of stuff. But has anyone replaced the 7" headlight with a built in projector. Kind of like this: I am concerned with the space behind the headlamp needed for the bixenon motor.

I'm getting to the point of cleaning up the harness and having striped a ZX have an abundance of nice relay setups. Needless to say the headlights are getting the fix to help save the 30 year old switch the beating of high current, but what other circuts could benifit?? Turn signals, wiper motor, parking lights?? What have you done, or thought about doing??? Mine is going to be a (well done) hack and install as the car is, and has been, so far from stock for so long that it will never return to that state, yes it is my fault but it started 25 years ago..... Any ideas on improvements or upgrades to the electrical are welcome...

Hi guys, I am looking to compile some images of the correct Z wiring fitment. A lot of cars I have seen have had previous owners merely stuff the wiring back under the carpet and forget about it. If anyone has taken photos of the harness fitted correctly to their car which they are willing to share, it would be great. Thanks

Ok ..so I am not very good with electrical problems .. I am good with mechanical stuff. But I need to fix these little issues myself. I am wondering if anyone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction. I just need some pointers to get started on these little faults. I am just not too sure where to start looking for the problems. I have look at all the obvoius ones like fuse panel, wire conections etc. Problem 1 My washer pump does not work. It had always leaked anyway so didnt use it, but the pump did work. I have bought a seperate pump that should work fine .. the bottle doesnt leak , I have hooked up the two wires to the new pump (both ways to see if th…

It looks like the coil in my 240Z is failing. I have the later 280ZX electronic ignition on it, so I need a good coil to use with that. What coils are you guys using? Any favorite brands or models? I really don't care what color it is, but it needs to work well with the ZX ignition, and either come with it's own bracket, or fit into the factory 240Z bracket. Suggestions?

I was fiddling with my ZX distributor today and noticed an electrical connection I had not seen before. I have a 240 and the car runs fine without it...I am just wondering what it is for. It is in the first picture right behind the vacuum advance thingy. The other item I'm not sure about is the yellow wire in pictures 2 and 3. The second picture is a close up and the third shows the origin next to the dizzy. The yellow wire was taped back and not in use since I purchased the car when it had the original points setup. Thanks!

I have completely restored my '71. After putting all of the interior and dash back in, I turned on the antennae and the fuze blew. I tried it again and it blew another fuze. I had everything out of the car. I installed the antennae just like it was before. I wonder where the short is? The hot wire for the antennae motor is grounded somewhere. Anyone have any ideas? I wonder if I take this to a shop if they can find the short for me? I REALLY do not want to take the rear panels off. I guess if that is the only way, I can do it, again.

Anyone know what runs off the Flasher fuse in a 240Z? I 've got a big electric issue with the Flasher fuse, the amp gauge reads +ve and the indicators work till this fuse blows. It gets so hot the fuse holders have melted the plastic and I burnt my finger as solder ran out of the fuse!!!

I'm going to get rid of the clock and put in a Ammeter or voltmeter. I've heard convincing arguements for both at the expense of the other. My question is: Which one gives a better indication of the charging system? I only have the real estate for one.
