Diesel crank
That would bd a good find. Don't see any photos of the engine so I'm wondering: Does it still have the engine???

Rebuilding an AC System
I like the Sanden compressor in their kit. It looks visually close to the original Hitachi compressor. The mounting bracket though looks big and cumbersome compared to my original hitachi bracket. If you are spending all the money on the kit for the engine bay, then I would also go the extra for a new evapourator.

Do you have the Apex-Engineered front subframe or have I missed it? With the subframe you could reverse engineer it to work out what you need.

Evreything I find on the internet (ignoring the BS E-bay ads quoting antenna switches to suit datsun 240z to 280zx) seems to point to that type. The wiring diagram is based on the two diagrams in the Xenon website 1971 240z FSM supplement In the detail Pos 14 & 15 seem to match.

Hi Captain, You have an good eye for detail.😀 I'm not sue if the Map light uses a bullet connector of spade for the power supply? The blower is in the cabin and I think the Cooler is the engine fan maybe? , but I must admit I have never seen an original 240Z with original air-con fitted --> Thr blue branch off wire. The was from a source file I used from XenonZcar 9 years back.

75 280Z - 5 speed swap from 81 280ZX - any catches I should be aware of?
I read the Subaru drive shaft uni-joints were the best replacement for the 280Z and came with inner circlips. Rockford u-joint replacement kit 430-10 "Staked in" replacement. I can't confirm fitment.

I made a low res print in pdf of this last update Rev1.1 The radio connector is not right. It should be 4 pole. See screen shot of the supplement. Connector Pos:13. I think the speaker wires come from pos 13? ColorWiring240Z1971Early_TerminalBlockExample09-aug-2015 Rev1.1.pdf

Ill make a list of things I miss. If anyone has parts handy and can take a photo or even out of memory would be a great help. Please don't hesitate to make or suggest any corrections. Like I mentioned, I don't own a 240Z to fact check any of this.

Hi Captain, Communicate mistakes on my diagram or screen shots would be great. Your example is very clear. Thanx I like the early wiring diagrams too. That is why I'm trying to keep it close to the original layout and adding terminals. I also found a dash connector diagram in the 1971 supplement where I can make out the radio connectors. I can't find anything on the Passing relay.

Looking through the drawings to see what I was up too 9 years ago🫣 Most of the terminal layouts are from the service manuals and photo's members posted in threads on this site. I made some screen shots of some of the sections still kissing the terminals. I remember working on the antenna switch, but could not find a photo of its terminal block. I think I'll first update the schema with the remarks from @Namerow and @Captain Obvious b

Hi all, Just searching through my drawings on the 240Z wiring diagrams. I was buzy adding terminal blocks te the early 71. It also needs some update "thanks to @Namerow for his input back them" I was too slack to finish it. I could work on the "Terminal block version", but I would need help from you guys since I don't own a 240Z and like mentioned in the thread, the manuals have their issues. Here is where it was in 2015. I also had a request to add Line colour text for people that are colour blind. It's all possible, but I don't want to waste my time if no one is interested. My absence in the last 12 months is due to health issues in the family. ColorWiring240Z1971Early_TerminalBlockExample09-mar-2015.pdf
