  1. Okay, so to wire up the charging system separately.. I have the pos charge wire running to the battery and the ground is coming from the chassis. Where do I connect the L and S wires to? The alternator is a 90Amp internally regulated from a 240sx s13 I had it tested and it is good.
  2. My Z had a charging problem with the alternator.. The PO installed a internally regulated alternator and eliminated the external voltage regulator. The car runs correctly until the battery dies of course.. Is it worth trying to fix this messy harness or should I try and source a cleaner, more complete harness? I've been on the look out at junk yards around me, craigslist, and even ebay but I can't seem to find one for my year Z..
  3. I'm having the same problem with my 75 280z. The harness was messed with by the previous owner and it has a 240sx alternator 90amp alt. in it but doesn't charge. I have a feeling the main positive wires are shorting somewhere I have my harness pulled to check the wiring, have you had any luck with yours?
  4. I'm still looking for a set of SU's round tops along with choke cables, carb fuel rail, and intake manifold. I should mention that I'm looking for local only so I could pick them up myself instead of having them shipped.
  5. I'm looking for a set of sus I'm done with my efi system failing on me, I had a much better experience when I was carb'd.. so if anyone local has a set willing to let go let me know.
  6. I have one too.. so if all else fails.. its polished.
  7. Hello I recently removed my dash to attempt to repair it and when i was reinstalling it i was left with a blue wire coming out of the efi harness right above the ecu disconnected. I cant seem to find where it goes and i believe it is coming from the coil (-) negative it is the same color blue and gauge wire. I found a picture online to show which one im talking about can anyone tell me where it goes? ( i circled it in red)
  8. I'm in the process of painting my engine bay so im going to be removing the engine and all components and I was wondering if i could throw in a 77 280z engine bay wiring harness in the 75? The harness is a mess and i have a spare 77 harness laying around that will need just a few wires redone.. it will make my life so much easier if I could just swap it over and eventually redo the old one. Is there a difference between the two? Would it be a plug and play situation or am I going to have to modify it? if thats the case then I might as well just redo the 75 but it will eat up a lot of time and im eager to get the car up and going again as it was my daily until I decided to strip it for paint.. any info is appreciated.
  9. So I took everyone's advice and passed on this one. The hunt for my next Z continues! Thanks everyone.
  10. What do you guys think i offer him 500 bucks and a monster
  11. Hey whats up everyone I've been searching the market for a 240z again and found this one on craigslist about 15 minutes from where I live. Apparently it is the Midnight Boba KA24de 240z I've seen at one point in time a while ago. The current owner has it listed for 1500.. so earlier today I went to go check it out from what it looks like it needs quite a bit of work. For example the passenger rear strut hub assembly is bent and the front passenger tension rod is bent along with the body ears where it mounts needs to be rewelded back or something becase its hanging a bit.. there is no keys to the car is has one of those electronically controlled lock mechanisms where the door pops open for you. the engine seems to be the same motor that was turboed it started up after a few tries (it was sitting for a while) and motor seemed okay but definitely needs motor mounts. The transmission will not shift into gear for some reason he claims it is the shifting forks where the shifter is at popped out all you need to do is pop it back into place? He said he has a spare tranny but will only throw it in for the right price. It is also backed up in tags its around 140 to register not including tranfer fees.. Im just wondering if the asking price is fair, I do remember reading that the guy who built the car did it for about 1 grand? It would be nice to get in contact with him to know a bit more history.. I have a 280z 2+2 in the back yard i could maybe take parts from, like the rear hub assembly and tension rods etc. But are the 2+2 parts interchangeable? I'm in need of some advice here just incase I overpay. any input is appreciated. Here is a link to the add. http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/4153311317.html He sent me some pics I should have taken some of the damage how stupid of me. Ill ask him for pics of the damage and upload them later on.
  12. The only stamp they have is the word "Prime" on the inside back of the wheel they are 15x8 all round. I've tried looking for them using that word but I can't find them anywhere I was hoping someone on here might know the model number? I'm assuming the make is Prime.
  13. Just like the topic asks, Is it possible to use a 280zx ecu in a 280z? The only reason I ask is I need a ecu for my 280z and could get a zx one for $10 my question is what kind of problems would I run into?
