mines doing the same thing, i ran a ground from the battery just to check it, sure enough it kicked in. mine too sat for 7-8 years so we got alot of cleaning to do on the connectors, hope this helps

ok, i dont see where the barrel connector goes, our 75 doesnt have it connected either. for some dumb reason my computer wont let me download the fsm, it get to the last stage and says it cant download the file? must be my firewall settings. im going crazy

yeah i was talking about the long black wire, i know the short goes to the alt. ill have to look into the one with the barrel connector, maybe thats my problem. i did have the long one attached to the block but i took it off because i wasnt sure if it went there or not. i guess ill have to mess with it some more. thanks for the replies, hopefully i can get it straightened out soon.

hey, im working on a 77 280. its auto,not sure if that will help here or not. while hooking the wires up to the alt and oil sender i found a wire that im not sure where it goes. our 75 manual car doesnt have this wire. does it go to the alt also or to the block? im trying to get all the grounds straightened out since it sat for about 8 years and my headlights and wipers arent working. thanks ps, its the one standing straight up

im getting ready to drop in my engine and need help with the flexplate torque, the books only show it for a flywheel. are the toques different since the flywheel is thicker than the flex plate? i just dont want to warp it or anything, thanks its a '77 auto

thanks for the info. anyone know if the year range is correct? motorsport is showing different plugs for different years of the injected motors. dont really see why they'd be different but i just want to make sure, the info i got was from datsunzgarage.com http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/SEIC01G

awsome, thank you.

i have this posted on the zx side but they seem kinda dead so i thought id atleast post the link here.i need help fairly fast so i can get this thing going, thanks http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?42353-f54-oil-filter-adapter

hey, im dropping a f54/p79 in my 77 280, im wondering if im missing a part or if this is for add-on purpose. around the oil filter theres four holes that look like something should be mounted there, i could be wrong though.any ideas? also i read somewhere this combo is 81-83, is that correct? ps, thats not my nasty looking engine, i found it on google

just looking for peoples opinions on which style intake/exhaust manifold gaskets are best. i have a 77 280z and running the stock manifold. one has metal around the exhaust part and one doesnt.

that video makes me want to go out and change the oil in ALL our cars

sorry bad link try this one

i couldnt find my pics but i found this video on youtube. i had them on my 260z b4 i sold it a few days ago, they sound awsome.i did have to change a few things though. my car was too low so instead of dual pipes off the header i had them make it one then split off after the diff, the second was add a resonator. ps they rust real fast

i guess its worth a shot, its only at 25 bucks right now, and its local

i agree with dave, i had the same problem with my 260 untill about a month ago. it was my hazard switch, it was so rusted inside that it pretty much fell apart when i tried to clean it. on mine i spliced (if i remember the colors right), the green/black, green/red? and white/black to a 3 way toggle switch, white/black being in the center. i now have a good switch but the toggle will atleast make you legal to drive

theres a rear strut brace on ebay from a '72, i have a early '74. just curious if its the same for my car, msa doesnt show 74. thanks [

i bought the twice pipes a couple months ago, it cost me another 250 to get it to fit snug. im not very impressed with it. its very annoying at freeway speeds and the neighbors complain in the morning,. id go with the turbo setup if i were to do it again

i bought my lugs off ebay, i got 20 for 20 bucks. the size you want are 12mmx1.25

welcome to the club! lots of great people on here. thanks alot for adding that yours is rust free, i just noticed a hole in my pass side frame rail

ill check it out ,thanks

heres the link to find it easier http://www.classiczcars.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=4928&cat=5

so after all this headache i finally got my turn signals working. my hazard switch was so rusted inside that the contacts were falling off. so i back yard fixed it with a on/off/on toggle switch needless to say im in need of a good working hazard switch now. if anyone has one please pm me , i also have a ad in the classified section, thanks so much oh my year is 7/74 260z

i hear ya on the cheap work thing, i bought the twice pipe setup from MSA and it cost me another 250 to get it fit right and not scrape the wife was a tiny bit mad at me, but i sounds so bada**

thanks for the info

oh man, that wouldve been awsome! but i guess pics will work, thanks man
