Hello, Have a few basic questions about installation of Haltech Elite 750, 73 240Z NA. Overlaying the Haltech wiring harness to the existing 240Z harness, can't get my head around some of the connections. First ignition wire (Key switched 12V) Which wire on the 73 240Z ignition switch is the switched 12v (on) ? (B.Y., B.W, W.R, L.R, or G.W) I have a FSM but not an expert on wiring diagrams. Terminate the existing ignition wire in the connector and replace with the ECU ignition wire or splice into the existing wire and leave it in the connector? The configuration is not typical and information is limited at best. Running a single HEI coil to a ha…

I have a 1977 280z and recently the battery was draining for an unknown reason. I do not drive the car, it sitting in my garage. I also do not leave the key in the ignition. After a lot of trial and error I noticed when I disconnect the black and yellow wire from the starter the battery remains charged. Once connected it starts a slow drain. When the battery is charged the starter works well. Any ideas what to look for and see why the starter would drain the battery?

https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/45461-parts-for-oem-np-valve-and-brake-indicator-switch-unit/ While this forum post is an excellent read, it still doesnt help me get any closer to actually rebuilding the stock NP valve. Any suggestions where one would find new O-rings, Y-seals, lip seals, and cup seals?

Hey Everybody, The Vintage Dash is going in. I wanted to wait till this winter to do it, but I started having some electrical troubles. It seems better to do everything at once and be done with it. My right front blinker is out, so the switches on the stalk are getting rebuilt. My fuse box got hot on the parking circuit. I got an MSA fusebox and updated parking and headlight harnesses. I am going to clean and inspect all the wiring and clean the light connections. First I need to get the dash out. I am everything under the dash disconnected. It is ready to except..... the glove box liner. This is my first Z. I was surprised to see how cheap it was. The glove box…

I was working on the comboi light switch from VIN #1818, 02/70, and noted a couple of weak design issues that were later eliminated. The first is the method of indexing the main plastic barrel to the frame with a small tab on the barrel that fits into a small recess on the frame. The plastic tab was long gone on this car and the PO had substituted a tiny piece of wire and a cut off straight pin, both jammed into the plastic to provide the index. I located suitable donor material in the form of a long dead BIC lighter, cut a piece from the body and notched the barrel to receive the transplant. The transplant was glued into place and then tr…

NGK BP6ES-11 plugs are no longer available? I guess I’ve fallen behind the times . Nine months ago I replace my 75 280 NGK BP6ES plugs and no problems finding them. I just tried to purchase new plugs at my local parts store and all they have is the resistor version. My research indicates that NGK is no longer making this plug? Has anyone used these in the 240/280 without problems?

I am restoring a 72 240 and I want to rebuild the steering rack.. Boots are torn, grease and gunk all over it, play, etc. I noticed I can get a rebuilt rack from a big box store for about $550. Seal kit plus tie rods looks to be around 450 to 500 and I would have to rebuild it. Wondering if anyone has had any experience with a Cardone rebuilt rack? I would check it to make sure it is the same ratio. Thanks.
