Okay, all of this talk about color wiring diagrams got me to update my old blog post on the Hazard/Turn Signal/Brake Light circuits. Since several of you are in the mode of error checking, please send some of that love my way and review my drawing for errors. https://fiddlingwithzcars.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/hazard-switch-brake-light-turn-signal-circuit-analysis/ Thanks!

You are correct. The wiring is different.

True GL4 oil. Not GL5.

If you want to eliminate a fuel issue, check the fuel pressure. Download the fuel injection bible from http://www.xenonS130.com/reference.html, and read through the troubleshooting. Doing proper diagnostics beats the crap out of shotgunning parts.

No

Provide colors, and you'll get a correct answer. The disconnected device in the second picture is the emergency start button for the seatbelt interlock relay.

I hear mine.

I've purchased two sets from Mike @ Banzai. He's a great person to deal with.

Thank all of the knowledgeable people on this site & zcar.com who taught me the proper terms. I've learned a lot by reading posts here and there. Using Google to find what you need is easy after that.

I think I remember where this conversation went when it was on the old mailing list... "Hey, Honey, where is the vaseline? I need it in the garage to try something I read about online." I wish I could provide original attribution.

I bought mine from Harrington Group because the others weren't available at the time. If they had been, I would have gone with the chromed instead of stainless steel. I still have to mount the rear bumper on the 74.

I did the conversion last year. I used the Harrington Group bumpers, but the mounting points should be the same on the Futofab bumpers. You'll need the 70-72 brackets. https://fiddlingwithzcars.wordpress.com/2014/01/20/installing-the-front-bumper/ https://fiddlingwithzcars.wordpress.com/2013/06/29/rear-bumper-install-73-240z/

Experts should never ready any media (including social media) on the topic of their expertise. People will always conflate the myths and falsehoods with the truth. It gets mixed well so that you can no longer distinguish one from the other. While I hear the tales being told and know they aren't completely true, I can smile and enjoy them nevertheless.

I like the style of the Jalopnik story. http://jalopnik.com/nissans-father-of-the-z-and-rogue-exec-katayama-yutaka-1687214072

You can download Draftsight from Solid Works for free. It will open the latest version of AutoCAD.

Getting there Monday and leaving Sunday. As for me organizing a get-together, I don't think a semi-reclusive engineer whose idea of fun is to arrange LEDs on breadboards is the ideal choice.

IMHO the crankiness at zcar.com relates to the fact that people get a Z car (or maybe even before they get one) just type in zcar.com. There seems to be an influx of those types of people around times that schools go on break. They ask "gimme" type questions, refuse to research, and frequently reject correct answers. Usually to find this site, a person actually has to do at least a little bit of searching to find the URL. As for David's problem, I thought I saw that he said he restored wiring to stock, and it worked. Since he was talking about a mass of blue wires, I suspect he was looking around the EFI relay.

If the injectors are firing, you should see about a 2 VDC drop across the injectors when the circuit is complete. What is the pressure in the rail? Have you downloaded the fuel injection bible? http://www.xenons130.com/reference.html It has some good diagnostics in there.

Step into the light and install the SUs. They are easy to clean up, and you'll be able to close your hood.
