I have a 82' 280zx that I have replaced the starter and ignition switch. I turn the key which will bring to life the fuel pump, fuel injection and spark, but in order to start the vehicle I have to arc the starter with a screwdriver. I have tested the relay and swapped it with another used one that I have to no avail. Should i check the engine harness next? Or is there potentially something else I may be missing? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!

can someone please tell me what the path is for the license plate light. How do you route wires from the hatch area harness to the light? Do I have to remove the taillight finishing panel to see an access hole? thank you.

I've purchased my car a few years ago and never really did anything to the engine except for an oil change and new spark plug wires. I've decided to upgrade the ignition system by upgrading it to an electronic ignition and when I pulled my dizzy cap off to check the points system I found that it was already converted over to an electronic setup. I would like help identifying which electronic system is installed. See photos below. Looks to me that this may be an 280zx distributor swap. Can someone help me identify what I have installed? BTW...My Z is a 1973 240z I would like to upgrade the coil, as I have seen that a "flame thrower" coil would be a good upgrade…

Hello all! I am currently in the process of rewiring my 1970 240Z with a 21 circuit EZ-Wire kit. To be quite frank, I don't have a ton of experience in these type of things, but after looking at the original wiring diagram I'm just a bit confused. My question is stupidly simple: Am I supposed to my rewiring using the original factory diagram adapting the universal kit as I go, or am I supposed to be going based off of the diagrams included with the kit?

Hey guys, i started the Honda motor conversion and when I was cutting the shaft of the new motor, I didn’t cut the shaft at the exact same angle. So instead of being cut like this / it’s more like \ so the wipers don’t park right. Any way for me to set the park correct or just cut losses and get a new motor. And cut don’t cut the threads, File out the z linkage!

Some weeks ago I decided to swap the old distributor with a 1-2-3 Ignition with Bluetooth, a relative simple operation (I have it on 2 other cars) an hour later I was ready to rumble, and nothing happened at all? Seek and you shall find? So I began, to search for any errors made during my install, checked the coil, spark plugs, replaced the old resistor, replaced the spark plug wiring, re-timed it etc.. what ever I did, i was no nearer to solve the problem? The engine cranked, but no spark? checked resistance in the coil, distributor cap, cables and so on, every things seemed to be in good order...? It was a mystery? everything worked flawless before the sw…

Recently bought a 1972 Datsun 240z that has never had an AC system installed. i really need to know if the there is any kit that will fit perfectly in this car with no components hanging down underneath the passengers glove box? Will i be able to opérate it using the original indash ac control knobs actually present in the car? The kit i want should be controlled by the original indash panel controls and not by an additional set of controls as i dont want to modify anything in the car. Any good advice?

Continuing to refurbish smaller components on my resurrection project, and have started to tackle the wiper linkages. The car had been sitting for way too long before I decided to purchase it and sadly most of the pivot points in the wiper linkages were seized and one section badly rusted. Some BLASTER, patience, wire brushes, and various drill attachments have gotten all the parts cleaned up very nicely and are ready for some good primer and paint. The wave washers will be able to be reused, but the large thin washer and thin torsion spring on the end of the linkage arm are badly rotted as were most of the small retaining clips. The felt washers were also in rough sh…

On the 1978 280Z: I would like to clean the headlamp dimmer switch contacts. I think they are dirty or fouled, and the low headlamps aren't very bright. Maybe the ground connection from the switch needs improvement. Yes, I checked the voltages at the headlamp connectors, which are full battery voltage. I also cleaned the connections under the steering column, and most other terminals or connectors. Can you take off the turn signal switch from the steering column without removing the steering wheel? If I need to, I could get a new switch, but I have time over the winter to try cleaning it first.

Quick (hopefully) electrical question: My temp sensor (the one on the block below the #5 spark plug, picture below) is disconnect and I can't seem to locate the plug for it. I will continue searching, but in the meantime, does anyone know if this sensor is an input to the EFI system, or does it go to the dash gauge, or what? I ran my EFI bible checks and the temp sensor check came back ok, so I'm assuming that one is the one up in the thermostat area.. Thanks, Ben
