It's almost funny that I can wire up a Megasquirt stand alone ECU, but I can't seem to get the wiring on the tach adapter to work. I think it's the path of those dam tach wires. The black/white changes to green/white and then back to black white-argh. I finally pulled the tach out and got out my multimeter and tracked the wires, since there are several wires with this color combo. I found where the wires come out under the glove box in separate plugs -of all things. So I run a continuity test at these two ends under the glove box and they are connected. The problem seems to be that the ignition is in this loop somehow, but still trying to figure that out. The Meg…

All my utility lights (engine bay trouble light, clove box light and interior light) don't work on my 78' z. I have a wiring diagram but it does not show the utility lights. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

Hi guys, I have just bought a 1976 280z. The car passed smog and is in a great physical condition. There are a few issues like a sun roof that was supported by 2x4 wooden blocks from inside, non-working temp/fuel/voltage gauges, seized up a/c pulley, disconnected a/c, bad brakes and door bell switch mounted on the side of the steering column as a horn :-). The inside illumination for gauges works, the tach works as well. I downloaded the wiring service manual for 1976 and it shows only 1 ignition relay (page BE-36). All gauges connect through this relay. I took the relay block apart (pass. side) and I found 2 relays hooked together,part B5230-W0500, MR5A031A1K 12v! Ho…

Hey mates This past weekend my headlights went out on the Z. I updated to an H4 conversion when I first got the car but since I'm already in there I do have a few questions. Is there any issue running a higher wattage bulb on the stock harness - without a relay? Thanks Jan

Which one of the terminals in the pic is the S terminal or starter activation switch? What are the other terminals also? Is the S terminal the one that is wired to the starter? Thank you.

Alright so I have the inside of my dash apart for the most part and have discovered the source of most of my electrical issues. I'm planning on installing a secondary auxiliary fuse box straight to the 12V system to run all of my accessories off of: dome light, map light, glove box light, cigarette lighter, horn, and clock. These have been giving me issues and the original wiring harness was tampered with and has some burned out sections. In lieu of tracking down original series one wiring harnesses I'm doing this so if I have an issue, I know that it was done properly and I can track it down easily and I have some room for accessories later down the line without cutting …

Anyone knows of any generic idle stop solenoid that can be used to boost the RPMS when the compressor of the Air Conditioner is activated? I sent an e-mail to carb junkies but they told me their parts will not work with a Datsun 240z! Anyone?

If you needed to be able to direct power between different devices, like Fog or Spot lamps, or a pair of 12V power jacks, you can use an ordinary SPDT toggle switch. But if you wanted a visual indicator, a toggle switch with a pair of integrated colored lights or a dual-colored LED would be nice, especially at night- you wouldn't want to switch on Spot lights when you want the Fog lights.... I suppose you could put some small colored lamps or LEDs next to the power jack or the toggle switch so you can tell which way the switch is flipped, but having the light integrated into the switch simplifies things a lot. I think you can get modern rocker switches with neat li…

Looking to do more upgrades to the Z after playing the roadster for a year. Redo'ing the entire suspension with eibachs/tokico HP's/Top hats, Bushings, etc. Cannot wait to feel that, but now looking to really improve some aesthetics. Starting with the easy stuff. New smooth bumpers (form Futofab) and factory looking fog lights. Anybody know of a really good replica foglight (rectangular) for the 240Z? Thanks!
