I have a 1983 280zx (non-turbo) and the blower motor Relay (mounted under the passenger side dash) quit working right as the summer is starting. It is encased in a metal braket with four prongs in a rectangular pattern. I have tried various car part stores and websites, and they only have the under the hood relays. It has JIDECO and JAPAN molded into the white plastic and the following numbers stamped on the metal bracket: C - 2977 MR3S -1101 Does anyone know where I can get the part? I appreciate any help and many thanks in advanced. It is getting hot here in Southern California.

So I was on my way to work one day, a little over a month ago, and it was pouring outside. I had working windshield wipers at the time, but my A/C does not work so my car windows were getting foggy. Anyway, because of the fogginess of the windows, I didn't see the pothole coming up and I hit it pretty fast. After the bump my windshield wipers stopped working... but my A/C was blowing like crazy! After work I get home and as soon as I came to a stop they switched back again! So the good news is, I know that my A/C can work, the bad news is, I don't know how to get it going. I have the repair manual, but that wiring page is rediculously confusing! Thought I would share that…

I recently bought a radar detector for my 300 mile commute home that a make a few times a year. But I ran into a problem when I plugged it into my cigarette lighter socket. It doesn't come on. I tried it in my gf's Jetta and it works fine. My cigarette lighter itself is also working fine, so I'm not sure what's up. Is it not providing enough power to the detector? Are the contacts not lining up because it's an old style socket? Has anyone else encountered this? Dave, have any ideas?

Hey all, Where can I pick up a electronic dizzy. I have been looking at ebay but not seeing anything. Would like to switch the 73 over and ditch the points. Local junkyard has nothing. Any ideas? Anyone have a spare that wants to sell? Thanks Phil

I took the Z out for the first real shake down run today. :nervous: Drove for about an hour and everything was good. Everything worked great, I just had one issue. My headlights wouldn't turn off when I got home. All of the lights were replaced with new, and they all worked perfectly, just the headlights won't shut off. I took out the fuses to shut them off for the night. I searched the forum and couldn't find this issue. I assume its probably the headlight switch on the steering column. Any other possibilities?

Hi to all again, remember my ignition problem? Well i charge the battery and change the spark plugs wires, put the ignitor in and now I get a spark from the coil to the distribuitor, i check each one of the spark plug wires and i also get a blue spark on them, but still the car wont start, it cranks but i does not start, in the wiring process I did not connect the two ballast resistor wires to each other, wires BW (Black white) and the GW (Green white), that is where the BR should be. But i still get the spark. so i am guessing that the problem is not the distribuitor nor the wiring. The car has been sitting for 4 months now, Can you please help give me a hand ? Thank…

My coil in my 76 280z was looking pretty worn, and my car has not been running so well. I replaced the coil with an MSD Blaster 2HV and now the tach will work up to 1000rpm, then drop top 0 once it hits around there. It will move but it only looks like it shows about 1/10 what the actual reading is. I could tell the car ran much smoother at idle with the new coil though. Why would a new coil cause the tach not to work correctly? The car has a CraneXR3000 and no ballast resistor. I have searched but all the tach problems seem to be related to 240's.

This is my first post, so don't be too tough on me. Early '70 Z Serial 01769, original owner, stock, except Petronix points replacement module. Even have the original AM radio. Here's what I've got: Where: Among the wiring bundle located under the dash, passenger side, wrapped in the snap-on vinyl cover. What: A WHITE/black wire connected at one end to a three-terminal white plastic connector shared with a GREEN/yellow and a YELLOW/green wire. This male connector is inserted into a female that has a WHITE, a WHITE/black and a blue wire. Problem: One end of the first-mentioned WHITE/black wire is adrift, hanging. The only thing that has stopped working is the radio, but th…

Okay, time for a stupid, stupid question. I have a franken-Z which I'm pretty sure has next to nothing stock. The body was made in April of '74, but...the head is a P79, the block is an N42, the manifold is an E88, the driveshaft is from a '71, etc. In other words, I have no idea what's original and what's not on this thing, other than what I just mentioned. I just bought it like 3 months ago. Now, I was told that 74's came with electronic ignition stock. My stupid stupid question is, how can you tell? Because for all I know, the previous owner put in a distributor from a '71 or something. What do I look for that tells me, 'Hey, this is the stock distributor and not one f…

I have a 74 260z. it runs great but sometimes when I shut it off I have a hard time getting it restarted (For instance when I get gas) it might start but it runs really weak, sometimes it wont start at all for 15 minutes then it runs fine. Is it vapor locked? any suggestions?? Thanks, Mark
