76 280z So This weekend I removed my heater blower motor and replaced my heater core hoses, when all was back together, later that night I discovered my dash lights no longer work, runners and break lights still work, combo switch is new, fuses and fusible links are good, the 3, 10 pin connectors are connected, so from what I can read online it comes down to two things: A) Rheostat is broken (unlikely has been working fine until now, but will check later) Or I knocked a ground or connector lose, this is the main reason I am here, I would like to know all the grounds and wires related to dash lights that might be under the passenger side, anything with pictures would …

Hi Everyone. I ran into a fit problem with my regular kick panel pods in cars with dealer add on air. I designed a new set of low profile pods that places the speaker magnet in the pocket for the door hinge bolts. Although the acoustics aren't as good they will get the job done. So if you have dealer AC or your looking for something less obtrusive then these are the ticket. They're $100.00 plus shipping. These are $10.00 cheaper than the regular panels because they don't need the hood cable relocater bracket. They fit 70-73 left hand drive cars only and use a 5 1/4" speaker. Thanks Derek

Spent a good bit of time over the last 48 hours reading posts on the topic, studying my Nissan 72 L20A & L24 series engine manual. Not feeling any smarter, though. Got '73 240Z with SU's, C211 head & cam, nearly new euro non-emission distributor. Had to retard the timing a little to stop ping when they put the new head a couple years ago. Maybe a little more compression. Recently read (no controversy) that initial advance is 17 degrees at 700 rpm for the automatic, also that it makes 15 deg. centrifugal. Not going to happen on CA gas. Putting all the numbers and technical stuff (like the esoteric diagrams on page EE-31) aside for a while, I figure there's two w…

I have done the E12-80 Distributor upgrade withe the MSD Blaster 2 my z has been running great after the upgrade. Since the upgrade I have been running my z without the tach it hasn't worked since I did the upgrade. Anyway I'm trying to figure out how the wiring goes. I have been reading up on it but I think my problem is that I don't remember which wires are the ones that go to the resistor(removed after upgrade) I uploaded a picture of my setup. I have a Connected the E12-80 to the coil and found the current wire and connected it since I did not have the tach I did not do anything else with the rest of the wires. I have four wires 3 are not connected right now. A)…

Made a hard decision today, don't know if it was the right decision but I own it now.:paranoid: While sourcing parts for my car I sent out the original AM/FM radio for clean and repair to B/C electronics in Pennsylvania. It ended up only needing a tune and clean and for just under $200.00 I was confident that I would have a good working original radio in my 72, and it is. Recently while going through all of my extra parts collected throughout the years I came across two original radios with excellent face plates, knobs etc... One is an early AM auto search model from one of the first 700 cars and the other is an AM/FM from a 72. I removed the antenna switches, face plate…

Hey All, I just recently purchased a 280z, I am so far happy with my purchase. The kid I bought it from said that he hasnt been able to get it running. I did a little diagnosing today and came to the conclusion that the gas pump isn't getting power.....and then I realized that nothing is getting power. Except for the starter and headlights. No gauges, no interior lights, no wipers, no blinkers, etc. I have checked the fuseable link and they all look good. Everything seems to be hooked up. I just put a brand new battery in. If anyone has any recommendations i'd be very appreciative. Thanks, Jeremy

I picked up a 1983 280ZX distributor the other day, I've had it apart and it seems to have very little wear so cleaned it up and re greased. Now I have a 240z with an L28 with triple carbs and I have read many times that what I need is an E12-80 ignition control module. My question is why? Why can't I use this one? I know it's FI but what would that have to do with the timing of the spark? Thanks, Chris

Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I just bought a nice little '78 280Z. It's wonderful to own an S30 again. Back in my younger days I owned a '75, and it was the best car I ever owned. My ex made me sell it. :ogre: It's been 15 years, but I'm back behind the wheel of one of these beautiful machines. Like another recent poster, I have an erratic tach. It doesn't go completely wonky, pegging both ends of the scales and such. Rather, it seems to read about half the correct RPMs, sometimes drifting up and down a bit -- sort of wandering around. Aside from that, the tach seems to be in nice condition. The electronics geek in me recognizes that I don't have to spend h…
