It maybe a little difficult explaining just where the wire is but here's my best attempt. There is a white/red stripe wire that connects to the bottom of the fuse box, then it goes into a harness on the passengers side where it is wrapped with the cigarette lighter wire and another white/red stripe, the 2 white/red wires both connect into a single white/red wire that continues on up into the dash harness, now the other white/red wire (Not the one that goes to the fuse box!) once it comes out of the 1 to 2 white/red wire it curls up and goes into a little plastic connection (which is now melted!). This is where the problem is, not only is the insulation on this wire melted…

I just bought a 1976 280z. It didn't come with a battery and when I tried to put one in, the fusible link for the ignition smoked like a crack whore!! A friend suggested changing positive battery cable. Any tips would be appreciated!!!!

I've got a 260Z 2+2. I changed out the old distributor (mechanical) and installed a used electronic ignition from an early 280Z. It has 7 wires. The car runs - better than before, but the tach doesn't work. Somewhere on the internet, I've seen directions for wiring, but I can't find them anymore. The Haynes & Chilton manuals aren't very helpful for wiring directions. Also... anyone know how to troubleshoot a tach? Now I'm worried I might have fried it trying to get it to work. Thanks.

Hello All.... On my '73 the amp gauge has always jad a slight flicker to it. It has been there ever since I have owned this Z which is about a year now. The car wasn't driven for about three months but now that I'm have been on the job search I drive it a bunch. It kinda comes and goes...not talking about days here, it will stop for a few minutes at most then return. Has anyone ever tackled this problem? I just put a new alternator in it, the '74 needed one and I put the new one in the '73 and the operational one in the '74. Which by the way is a whole new post that will follow this one... Anyway, I need advice on this bouncy amp needle... Thanks! ~Brian

Has anyone found a spot to stick the breather pipe from the rocker cover instead of having it go into the air cleaner. Have changed over my air cleaner to sports filters and now am trying to work out where I can shove a tank and the pipe. Also, are there any ideas on where the carby breathers on the round tops which also go to the air cleaner can go?

I'm in need of a little help. The headlights on my 76 are not coming on. The parking lights and all other lights are working fine. The headlights worked about 2 weeks ago (one really dimmer than the other, but that's another problem). Any suggestions? Thanks!

I need to replace my alternator. I have a 1972 240z built 6/72. According to my ZCD, the correct part number should be 23100-P0102(R - all now are rebuilt), which indicates a 12V-50A Hitachi LT150-05B. However, Courtesy Nissan shipped me a P0103R (Hitachi LT150-10R). To further confuse things, I am told the part number I should look for is 23100-U5800R or -H6206R. Exactly which is correct??!

Would like to know if one can buy all the wiring harnesses for the 280Z? I'm not sure if I have a need for any particular one, but I thought it would be nice to replace the one for the section I might have apart- engine, dash, interior, rear.

How to prepare your car for the "Dark Season" According to regular servicing data for 2001, around 36 percent of the vehicles inspected had defective lamps. In the dark months of fall and winter in particular, fully functioning lights are the most important guarantee of road safety. Defects such as faulty brake lights or indicators usually go unnoticed by the driver inside the car. Moreover, faulty headlamp settings cannot be detected with the naked eye. So please - check your vehicle’s entire lighting system, from the headlamps to the reversing lights - make sure you can see and be seen better in the fall and winter months and reach your destination safely.

Hi all, I have a 73 240z and the blower motor has no power. I replaced both fuses behing the radio (the one with blue wires was burned) but still no power to the motor. I have checked everything with a meter, at the motor, at the fuse, and at the connector to the blower resistor, and still no power! Anyone has any ideas? It is getting cold out! My lasy guess is the switch, anyone have one for sale? thanks, Doug :dead:

Hi all- Just looking for opinions/experiences with the various aftermarket electronic ignitions available.. Crane, MSD- Anyone have an opinion as to which version/model is preferable for a stock 240/260? I have a late 260 with the stock electronic ignition, as well as a 73 auto that has a dual point distributor (which i understand complicates the matter) Howsabout keeping the tach functional? I assume i would opt for the $109 unit from Motorsport, but would appreciate any advise- Thanks!! Jeremiah

When I engage my turn signal it takes about 1-2 seconds before the lights actually come on and the relay starts to click. With my other car (Chevy) when I hit the turn signal it turns on immediately. Is this normal for the Zed or is my relay bad?
