Mine did that my engine harness was molested and ground wire fell off to so I put a new duralast alter for $30.00 and volt reg for 15.00 on it would run again but soon after the harness would cause shorts and problems . so I'm starting to fix the engine wiring with a new modern Fuse box and relays

That is really cool but I hate the radio stations with all commercials and doushe djs talking, that cost 200-300 but you have the ability to add a music device like most new cars some hick stole my 1970's radio in 2006 it does not play vinyl or cassettes ? If I where to leave a I pod in the open anybody who wants it can snatch it when I get mine Im going to run a aux cable in to the center console

Thanks alot I was wondering about the amps of the fuses and connectors My dash harness is in great condition I think I will keep that the way it and just add on t several wires to it the main problem is the engine harness was cut and twist and taped job it was miracle that the owner drove it from idaho to chicago then I bought the first one I saw since its rare in this Iowa region the kid that drove cross country said if the car doesn't start to wiggle the fuse links but it always started and to be safe I replaced them I will clean the connector from engine harness to fuse box and I bought new injector clips off ebay I will hold off the on Hid and will do a H4 conversion first until I have $$$ for a Hid kit I have bulbs and houses, black dragon harness ready My heater hoses are dried shrivled and Mankey I replace those too ! and repaint my console center and replace the gauge lights with leds while the dash is off I also want to add some heat and sound protection while I can with an adhesive matt on to the fire wall while I talking electrics has anyone done 4 speaker setup on their Z?

Great job on the repaint it did not look that bad mine was the same color but it turned orange before i bought only the door jams are shinny

I have a 1976 280Z with a cpu fuel injection I am going to get started on my Z electrical issue :disappoin the previous owner of my Z was a cheap azz when got the low mileage motor out of a identical donor he decided not get the complete engine harness and had it circumcised to save $50 and he did a twist and tape job :pirate: the car was running good despite the work done then I replaced the fuse links and cleaned the engine bay soon after one of my fuses burnt out and smoke came from the fuse box and all my insterments gauges stoped working except only volt and tack and fuel work The fuse known as fuel gauge collaborator keeps frying a week later the car did not start ever again since spring 2009 my car won't star or turn over or click so I put a new alter , belts ,plugs, spark wires dizzy cap rotor and starter :mad: I'm tired of this crap so I finally got a new modern blade fuse box with a 20 foot color coded labeled harness a EZ wire 22 curcuit box beacuse I want to replace the engine and add elct windows and hid lights someday I piled up a huge stash of goodies and odd pieces I was missing this whole year so i wana get the car runing when the Iowa snow melts in January I want to do the entire car harness wires and rear light harness and upgrade the head lamps to a H4 lights color rice :bulb: I have the black dragon harnesses in my stash to do it so i need some advice kinda like the guy with a 73 Z doing the same thing my z has fuel injct and cpu and large amount of wires and relays Were should I start ? I would like to do and exact replica of the harness like cut the plug conectors and solder the new wires up to it???? basically chop it up to sections and solder them up with new clean connectors? and would the amps for the new fuses have to be the same as the old ones??

I want get my dad some Lexol leather spray for his Acura TL and he gots perforated beige leather and that LExol vinyl stuff for my cleaner but the LE-Chat sounds cool too:cool:

The spare tire is kind of useless since you need to pump it up before use in the middle of nowhere:bulb: Im going to make a compartment out of the well a door that hinges up to reveal battery relocation or something :paranoid:
