Happy (late) birthday, Chewie! My little bro has the same birthday as you.

the ergonomics are terrible for most people. The shifter/pedals/seating position was apparently designed and OKed by a gorrilla (long arms, short legs).
They are great cars though and have been on my radar for purchase given the right deal came along.
Aaah... I see. Looking at the pics again the shifter does look pretty far forward.

It's a simple game/toy where you draw lines and the little stick figure guy sleds down them.

What's wrong with the interior? Looks comfy

Thats what I'm wonderin... they're kinda annoying
X2! I'm staring at a "Bush-Clinton Katrina fund" one right now

Well I bought the two switches I posted above and wired everything up this weekend. I ran the motor for 5-10 minutes (open headers, my neighbors love me
) and the low speed triggered just fine. I didn't get it hot enough to trigger the high speed switch, but I did check to make sure it worked. I took the lead from the high speed and touched it to the post on the low speed switch which should throw the aux relay shutting off the low speed and opening the high, which it did. I'll get pics in a while.

Hahaha! I saw that on CNN earlier and thought of this thread right away. It only took 8 shots with a .50cal pistol, lol.

Hahaha, sweet!

That'd go for 3-4k around here, but I don't know how much of a price difference there is between Nebraska and California.

According to my Haynes manual, the VIN doesn't match the 280ZX format of XXXXS130XXXXXXX, where every X stands for a specific option on the car. Note that some X's could be blank or 2 letters, depending on the option.
Yeah, that VIN's not right...
I'm still not sure what we're supposed to be looking for, besides the ridiculous price.

Or a shot gun and a pack of RedBulls. Seriously, that sucks

I can identify it: Coors Light....as for the pile behind the can of Coors Light: No.
And a pair of sun glasses, a chipping hammer, and some welding rods.
Wait... Welding+ Sun glasses= burnt retinas

Hmmm... Well I guess that makes sense. Both the wires go to the same place because they drive the same motor. One is just routed through a higher amp circuit, which gives the fan the high speed. I guess it's like you could take the interstate or a two lane highway. They both go to the same place, but one can carry more cars.
Edit: I just wanted to say I didn't want to sound patronizing, it wasn't intended.
-
Yes, that would work. Sorry for my confusion.
Cool, thanks!

Man, I can take this any more. If I can find one this weekend I'm in. I'll post if I can't find one.
Sorry, I can't. I spent all my money on parts for my real car again.

Woah. Those switches can't handle the amperages of the fan. You need a relay circuit that will turn the fans off and on. And they need to control the two speeds exclusively. Meaning when the higher temp switch sends the signal to the high speed relay, you need to make sure the low speed relay is turned off, so that the low speed wire to the fan is not sending current to the low speed winding in the fan motor. That's what this thread is all about. Make sure you go back and read about the circuits for this.
You mean don't use only the switches to control the fan, right? I think that's what 280zwitha383 was talking about. I was thinking using those switches to trigger the relays like Larry's setup, just replacing the switch from the ford tempo and the adjustable one. That would work, correct?
-
New idea... What if you used these two controlers?
-
Or you could move to Nebraska in the winter, lol. In January I had to bash in the tranny tunnel and about a square foot of tar/ deadening stuff came clean off.
-
...going to work on that next along with about everything else.
Hahaha, isn't that how it usually goes? The car looks mean for sure! You have one lucky son.
-
One more question, where can you get the high speed switch? Would this one work?
Would I be better off going to a junk yard?
What about this if you set the low speed off temp lower?
