ZCON 2025 Announced
Nope. Look for ATL before the end of the decade, at least that's what my sources are suggesting. Here's the ZCON site: https://zcon.org/conventions/2025/

Let's show vintage racing pictures. I'll start.
Unfortunately that appears to be the case.

280z DASHBOARD REMOVAL / UPGRADE
Well, you wouldn't have to worry about being blinded by oncoming headlights. The gauge lights will have already blinded you. Maybe not. The parking light fuse would probably blow first.

Mystery Wire
I don't like to assume. I can faintly see what looks to be a green wire in your photo that has a female connector. Green comes off the ignition fuse. If your car started life as an AT car, I would think there could be a green wire for the kickdown switch in that area of the engine bay.

Year is almost always critical in asking questions about wiring.

Restoration of BringaTrailer 240z - HLS30-35883
I wonder if Skillard might consider making reproductions of those.

I doubt that is a Nissan switch, and I'm betting @HS30-H can verify it is not.

Transmission Swap and other things
Well, if you don't have the neutral switch on the 5-speed, it means you lose the capability of connecting the annoying as hell seat belt buzzers. (Just leave the wires hanging.)

Mystery Switch
I did some more searching, and @Zed Head looks to be right about the switch being for the dual point distributor. The challenge is that it doesn't show up until the 72 FSM on page EC-11. I found a thread here: https://www.zdriver.com/forums/240z-260z-280z-performance-technical-124/thermal-relay-question-36814/ that shows. The temperature range and continuity check you did fits with this chart. And the FSM said it was introduced in 71. Go to the Downloads in the Resources section to get the 72 FSM.

Mystery Switch
Nope. The switch for the points is on the thermostat.

Mystery Switch
From the parts manual: It is for autotragic transmission cars, as I guessed before. If the car has been converted to a manual, this thread is complete.
-
Mystery Switch
My guess - Key in buzzer. Ignore this drawing. What are the wire colors where it was plugged into? I missed "right hand" in the original post. Now I'm thinking something to do with the kick-down solenoid in the autotragic transmission cars. They are wired with green wire.

I advise removing your phone number from posts. That only invites scammers and spammers to track you down.
