I found a toggle switch mounted to the passenger side of the center console as well. It doesn't seem to do anything though. I have not traced the wires yet as I have no reason to pull apart the dash yet. When I do I plan on trying to figure out what this was for. My guess is that it was a power antenna switch for a power antenna which no longer exists on the car. This is my best guess as there are no other power accessories that have been added to the car.

Sounds like you have this all figured out. I thought I'd add this. I found two of these exact type of relays mounted to the sidewall in the engine compartment near the coil onmy 240Z. Turns out that these were used as part of a funky alarm system that was toed into the door pin switches and an aaooogaahhh horn. The system was activated by flipping a switch mounted in a secret location. Basically all it did was activate the horn if someone opened the doors, hatch, or the hood. The horn has been removed and the rest will be removed/replaced at a later date including the relays.

Sounds great. I also like the srtut bar setup you have. Nice job.

That video has been around for years. Seen it many times on various "real video" type shows.

First of all, I'm here in Denver freezing my a$$ off. Second, Go240Zags is right. Check out the Ztherapy site. They have a rebuild kit that includes nozzles, needles, jets and seals. they should also be able to provide the floats for you. However, you may want to consider using your carbs as a core and buying a set of rebuilt carbs from them and be done with it. One of the major problems with the stock SUs is that the throttle shaft bushings and shaft get worn and create a vacuum leak that can adversely affect performance and tuning. Unfortunately you can't effectively test this without the carbs mounted and the car running. Ztherapy can also sell you an air cleaner or an adapter to make yours fit. To save money, check eBay or your local junk yards. As a last resort, I know a junk yard that has one but it is buried under several engines and tough to get at or I would have grabbed it already. If you get desperate let me know and I'll see if I can help.

I believe the 82' dizzy may have come with the E-12-93 module and not the E-12-80 that you want. Do know which one you have? The numbers should be on the cover. There are plenty of threads on this topic in here. Just do a search.

Thanks, I needed that.

I was merely pointing out something I found humorous. If I had known that quoting the post of someone's insane ramblings would decend into this sort of debate, believe me, I would never have bothered. Life's too short to sweat the small stuff guys. Therefore, I try to find humor in all that I can. Let's move on now and pretend that we're all perfect. I know I am.

Wow, I'm sorry I dug this thread back up. On to something more fulfilling.

You bring up a very good point. I'm not sure anyone really thought about it that way. Your tact could have been better but whatever. I guess what bothers me most is that people no longer get to know their neighbors. If I had a problem I would address it directly with my neighbor and try to resolve it or find a compromise. As soon as you get a third party (police, commitee, etc) involved people feel manipulated or slighted, and that creates resentment. Anyway, get to know your neighbors so this doesn't happen to you. My 2cents.

Blocks search engines but allows you to come to here? That's the first time I've heard that one. Why would anyone do this? Absolute blasphemy.

Since the fan clutch is connected to the water pump, continuing to run it in this "frozen" condition will accelerate the wear on the pump shaft bearing resulting in coolant leakage and ultimately premature failure of the pump. Replace it as soon as you can or drive it as little as possible until you can.

Good question. I've never bothered to look it up because I have never really needed to know, but I always wondered. Let us know what you find on your Google quest.

Nice job there Lance. I wish I actually had a garage so that I could worry about things like these. The carport is better than nothing but an enclosed space would be much nicer, especially this time of year.

I sent him am PM since the auction ends on just over an hr from now.

Sorry mang! I started by quoting only part of it but wasn't sure which part would best get the point across so I quoted it all. That doesn't mean you have to read it, all, or at all, and the space bar is only a fingertip away.

There's one on eBay right now with 1 day left. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Datsun-240Z-260Z-280Z-E12-80-Electronic-Ignition-Module_W0QQitemZ8018298686

Not very. The post made my head spin trying to follow it. Perhaps that was the point.

Get your mind out of the gutter mate. It's a manifold. Crikey!

I found one on a 80' B210 and a 80' Maxima. I know where there's a third but I made the mistake of telling the junkyard guy what they're worth so he'll probably want more that what you could find one for. If not and you're desperate, let me know. I think they came on the 79' 810's as well.

I think somebody is smoking more than wheels....

Well I got pretty lucky and found a clean one owner car with low miles and no rust to speak of, aside from surface rust on the suspension components, oil pan, and engine block, no cracks on the dash(looks brand new), and a clean interior with original footwell carpeting with NO WEAR(used rubber mats from day one). My beefs with the P.O. are: 1) Continued use of the maintenance hatches even though they were out of alignment and chipping the paint on the fender. 2) Leaving one of the fuses partially engaged in the fuse box causing it to heat up and melt the cover 3) The wannabe/fakie alarm system hooked up to an aaaooogahhh horn. That was gone in an instant. Free to interested party. 4) The poor choice of pin switch placement for the alarm in the hood and hatch. 5) A missing stock horn 6) Garden hose as a supplement to the rack bushings 7) Cheesy Kragen fog lights and overkill steel shank mounting method. My compliments to the P.O. for realizing that it was no longer of use to him and that it should really go to someone who would bring it back to it's former glory and use it as intended. And that would be me.

Man those are cool looking cars. I donlt think I've ever actually seen one IRL.

Good catch. My guess is they did it for a reason, although I can't imagine why.

I wish I knew what each of these looked like.....
