BeeZee Got the 260 SM let me look it up just got back into town thanks for the info Thanks for the info everyone. Jim BeeZEE Looked at Diagram BE144 and now see how the connecters for the EGR ,throttle and distributer are part of the main engine room harness. It looks like people just snipe them off when they remove the stock intake. or loop them and tape them over. I'll have to see on my engine room harness. I see that I was wrong about the male bullet connectors, must of been to much holiday cheer or staring at those solenoids to long.

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm rebuilding an original intake manifold tuna cans and all for my 260's L26 and I'm stuck. Trying to find a complete or a P/N for a small section of engine harness that connects the EGR Solenoid, Throttle Opener solenoid to distributor. I'll describe it the best I can, two wires, a green/white strip to EGR solenoid w/male bullet connector and black/white strip Throttle Opener solenoid w/male bullet both terminate in a two pole male connect that I believe connect to a female connector by the distributer. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Thanks, Jim 1974 260Z - 302 Leaf Green Metallic/ Black RLS30-020697 (01/74)

I knew this was the place to go. Stephen that be the one 08/73-07/76. Thou 24023-N4200 show applicabilty from 12/74 - 07/75 superceded by 24023-N4201 08/75, page 54F-2. I'm now getting the impression that is wiring harness section just ahead of the one I'm looking for, from the junction box to two connectors that run above the passenger's feet. Thanks, Jim

Hi Thanks for the info. I have the club's parts CD, and tried to pull up the info on my parts CD , but the 08/73 -11/74 section isn't there. I'll try those pages again. I tried NISMO web site and found P/N 24023-N3600 to, was hoping to confirm it. I think the pin out is different on a 260 harness. Rick I'd be intested, my harness was hacked in the past, tried redoing the connectors bit to much had been cut away, PM me with details.

Looking for a part number for the center console harness for a 260z (manuf 01/74). Looking at a replacement one on Ebay from a 76 280z (The P/N 24023-N4201 my best guess) not sure if it would work, can anyone help? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=011&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=320063084711&rd=1,1 Thanks, Jim 1974 260Z - RLS30-020697 (01/74)

Hey astrohog I seem to remember a similar post I didn’t care for the chrome air cleaner so went more stock. I found a close match for the air cleaner’s outer foam packing at McMaster website; I didn’t save the P/N. Media blasting shouldn’t be a problem; I used paint stripper and oven cleaner with good results. Primed and painted them got the decals from Banzai Motors http://www.zzxdatsun.com/ I used the following Duplicolor paint ________________________________________ View color chart Dupli-Color® Engine Enamel An early post suggested DE 1621 Old Ford Blue for the engine block and DE 1634 Low Gloss Black oil pan and engine mounts. I personally used DE 1607 Chevrolet Orange-Red and then a clear coat for my 260z Air Cleaner. I also painted a 74 ½ Air Cleaner using DE 1610 Pontiac Blue (I used either a white or gray primer first) also used the same color for the vapor canister clamp. (picture posted)

I also have been waiting for an east coaster to have something like this! Unfortunately, I can't make it, either, other plans and still working on the car should be ready. How about September a run to Frank Pepe's and/or Sally's Apizza - dido on a nice drive to New Haven and good eats. Need to plan out details! Jim 1974 260Z - RLS30-020697 (01/74)

Thanks for the tips all are very good, storing all kinds of parts a rubber hoses refinished air cleaner, smog pump, intake and exhaust manifolds, and replated brackets oh ya, electrical relays, wiring harness. I'll probably combine them all in one fashion or another, tried under the bed but, kept hitting my toes at nite. I was thinking of using brown paper with some oil, like the old oil paper, do you think it will harm plated or painted surfaces? Thanks again, keep em coming. Jim

I'm in the process of getting some parts replated, looking for advice on what the best way to store them is, to protect them from humidity an such until I use them. I don't have access to a temperature or humidty controlled storage area, just garage shelves. :classic: Thanks, Jim 1974 260Z - RLS30-020697 (01/74)

I looked through the forums couldn't find a answer. I'm about to send a hood support rod out for replating for a early 74 260z , from what I can tell Zinc/Yellow Chromate appears to be the original finish. I can't tell how the attaching screw were finished. Does anyone know how they were originally finished? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim 260Z - RLS30-020697 (01/74)

Welcome Try this website I believe he is in either Rhode Island or Mass. I have used him good service. I haven't found any drop-in places around http://www.baddogparts.com/ :classic: 1974 260Z - RLS30-020697 (01/74) Jim

I'd be interested. 1974 260Z - RLS30-020697 (01/74) Jim

Hello, What year is your Z? On my 74 260z had a similar problem where if it sat for any length of time in cold weather below 50 F or 10 C I'd have no charge. I found in the Nissan FSM the voltage regulator is temperature compensated and is responsible for both voltage and has the charging relay. The FSM has the adjustment for the point gap for both as they change over time. If you don't have Nissan FSM I recommended you get one for your Z, it has good diagnostic procedure to check voltages at other points in the charging system to help isolate the fault if it isn't the Voltage Regulator. When I took mine apart I found that it was better to replace it after 30+ years, found the correct one on Ebay and the problem hasn't returned. I hope this helps Jim 1974 260Z - RLS30-020697 (01/74)

The two vaccum connectors are on the front intake itself just above and behind the carb mounting studs. The opener control valve connects to the first connector and the other one connects to a t-connector, the backfire valve and air cleaner. I'll post some pics tommorrow Thanks, Jim
