Alright, Sorry i haven't been able to post in a while. First of All, I have no idea what your talking about with me wanting to go 4x4, I don't even go on zcar.com, But anyways i asked for help and alot of you criticized my punctuation. Anyways i thought it was rude, and unkind, but thank you for those of you who tried to help, to the others i hope you got a laugh out of making fun of my punctuation, I was just trying to post quick and figure out why my car wasn't running. From now on i will just slowly do it myself and have the people near me that know give me advice.

oh heck with it, i have spent to much time on this japanese engine crap i'll just rip it out and put a ford V8 or maybe a Chevy depends. it will probably be alot more cost effective then replacing all the original stuff in the long run and heck I'll have some more power and a nicer sound.

alright the deal with the push button start is there are two wires going straight to the battery and the starter the engine will turn over when i push the button sorry if i made that unclear but the engine will turn over but it when it did run i had to have the key in the run position and it would start just fine the deal with the key is if you turn it all the way to start it does nothing sometimes it will sound like it is making an attempt to turn over and sounds like it is trying to make contact but just grinding like it would if the battery was low and it only does that sometimes but yes it buzzes and clicks but also makes the sound of it grinding on the flywheel Also if i turn the key to start i can hear the fuel pump working and i tested it out with my dad a while ago and if i have the key in run and use the push button to start it the pump will work sorry if anything was unclear i'm only 16 and working with the mechanical knowledge that i have my dad knows some stuff but not much

well i have a new battery only like two months old and it used to start just fine without the normal key starter and would run just fine and i have no idea what to do to fix that problem because all the wires are connected i have a new ignition on it with a new key and i don't know why its not making full contact when i turn the key to start sometimes it doesn't even at all

Alright i have a 2/75 Datsun 280z i have owned for two years now and i have done alot of things to it i'll try to list most of the things that i have done to it I have taken out the tank and cleaned it Replaced the fuel filter Installed new Injectors New Fuel Pressure regulator Checked Fuel Injection Harness Sent in ECU Replaced Fuel Injection Relay and it still won't run there are probably a few things i didn't think of but if you ask i'll probably remember but the story is that it was running and i had replaced the transmission fluid and was test driving it around reving it testing the transmisson which is automatic and i parked it and was letting it run and my dad said it sounded like it was knocking so i went and parked it, it sat for about 30 mins then my dad went out to start it and it wouldn't start and hasn't since and since then we have replaced almost everything that we thought it could be, The car has a push button start for some reason when you turn the key all the way you can only hear the fuel pump turning on and sometimes it will turn over but it sounds like the starter isn't making full contact and just buzzes like its not getting enough juice, but the car started just fine before with the push button start I recently was trying to figure out if it was fuel pressure or something else so i took off the fuel rail and left everything attached to the rail including the injectors when the harness was connected the injectors did nothing but if i hooked up a battery to them they sprayed just fine i don't know if they are supposed to spray when the car is turning over or not but i think it has to be something electrically wrong with the car because i have replaced or atleast checked everything else that it could be and it would be nice to have it running again thank you for taking your time to look at this and i would appreciate any ideas given

thanks stephen for the information i searched today and on MotorsportsAuto.com i found that i could order the exact one i need for around $200 but i would be interested in the one that you have, and if im not mistaken the 76 and 75 ECU are interchangable? i ask this because my car is an early 75 but i would still be happy to have any info about the ECU you have knowledge about

hey guys i have a question i have had my car for a year and a half now and i had been troubleshooting it and i came down to the conclusion that the ECU is bad and i need to replace it, anyways i went to autozone to order a replacement and they only sell remanufactured ECU's well i waited a week to get it and when i got it i first realized that the one i bought was alot different from the orignal, the one i bought is longer and has missing pins where you would connect it to the Harness the part number on the one i bought its A11-600-000 and the orignal part number is A11-100-002 i was wondering will the one i bought work on my car? or where should i go so that i get the correct ECU that is the same as the orignal? any answers would be a great help

welcome to site hope u can find everything u need anyways hope u have years of fun with your z

ur probably right yankee i really like the coupe but i am stuck with the 2+2 i was think why make a four seater sports car?? anyways the 2+2 has its goods and bads thanks for the info guys

thanks alot guys my car is a 75' but it also has a cold air intake so hopefully it will get around 20 in the city since i am in highschool i hopefully won't have to drive it that much also mine is a automatic

i was wondering because my car isn't running yet but i have a fuel injected 2+2, what kind of gas mileage do they get compared to a coupe ??

thats really nice for the price!!! and i think the interior is awesome!! u will appreciate that it runs farther down the road it saves a lot of time!!!

nice z its nice to another z owner in the area

what Escanlon says makes a lot of sense u might want listen
