Swapping in the BW T5 into my 71. There's two wires that hooked up to the stock transmission, but there's 2 pairs of wires coming off the T5 (driver and passenger sides). Which pair do I hook the wiring harness to? And what are these wires for? Thanks for any and all replies!

Definitely need some advice. Have a 1975 280Z. Just got it running and then moved on to the headlights (they never worked). Got them working, took the car for a spin and all seemed well. Yesterday went to go to the store and the car was dead as a doornail. Went out today and noticed the clock was working again so I fired the car up and it was running good until I turned on the headlights to see if they still worked. Not 15 seconds after the lights were turned on the car just turned itself off. It proceeded to do this twice after sitting for about 15 minutes between stalls. Could it be the wiring, alternator, voltage regulator???? HELP!!

Well today I got into the Z and was on my way to check out a 2+2 for a friend who's in the market for one when my Z played up on me. I started her up let her run a couple of minutes while brushing my teeth :classic: . She's been running a bit odd lately and I thought it was a carbie issue could still be but it seemed like it had been missing a little but was driving fine. Last night I got her home no problems except well it seems like its outta tune. Now this morning I'm driving out of my drive way and start to accelerate and it's missing like mad so I think maybe the choke is screwed as sometimes they don't open evenly due to been worn or sticky so I pull over pop the…

I fear the previous owner may have jury rigged some of the electrical. I have the Haynes manual, but I still am not clear on how the started should be connected. I just bought a new starter and am trying to hook it up. Haynes p.150 fig 10.19 shows 's' 'b' 'm' terminals. I found the black and yellow that goes to the 's' terminal, but I don't see any black cable for the 'b' terminal. Is this the negative battery cable? What is supposed to be on the 'm' terminal? Where does the battery positive connect to? Thanks for all the help!:stupid:

Speaker wiring 1 2

Just bought an Alpine CD player and am installing it in the 240. Only putting in two speakers in the back(no fronts) and was wondering how to wire the speakers: do you combine the wires for the front and rear speakers or do you just ignore the front speaker wires. The manual has no instructions regarding a two speaker system. Thanks, Victor.

Just recharged air conditioner but the blower isnt moving enough air. Would replacing it and adding a plastic fan cage help or is the problem one of original engineering? Any suggestions welcome. Best, HCH

Is it possible for me to place a 1973 speedometer cable into my 1971 240z? Does it matter if it was manual or an automatic. Thanks!

I don't suppose it's possible that a '71 dash wiring harness will go right into a '72 dash? Are the '71's and '72's interchangable? Mine is so bad that I think changing out the entire harness will be easier than fixing all the problems.

Ok, There was just a thread was just posted about a set of M3 mirrors. In the post it said they are looking at the mirrors with the turn signal because they have pulled there side marker lights. Now, did Nissan make the side lamps blink with the turn signal on any 240 260 ? Here in the US they are just marker or parking lights that just stay on all the time with the switch on. I am not picking at anything. Just wondering if maybe thats one of those little RHD LHD changes that get overlooked.

I bought one of those keyless entry kits frome VB. I gotta say my experience was very negitive. I could not use them on my 73 cause i could not find any reasonable way to mount them. I really couldn't see any good way to do it. I tried on my 78. I saw a way to mount them but I failed and it was very fustrating. I got them mounted but they did not have a smooth motion and when I got the door back together I could not lock or unlock the door, with my hands. The culprit was the attachement to the door lock stem being too FAT. The catalog says EASY installation but since they are universal sets they do not actually cater to the Z. If any one has had a positive experience I…
