Looking to purchase either: An engine from a 240z/260/280/280zx (70-83). Pref. tested to be a running motor and compression tested. Local pickup within reason (2-3 hours) from where I live. (I'm located in Paramus, NJ 07652) Or Complete Engine Wiring harness from a 1982-1983 280zxt. Local pick up or shipped no pref. (Again located in Paramus, NJ 07652) Thank you for taking time to look at post, welcome any suggestions or comments!

So... stupid question... but im confused... pictures are what I have... have a strangle feeling i have the wrong dizzy... or that im retarded... dont know which

Looking for an '82-'83 AFM for the 280ZXT. Please PM with offers, will pay for shipping and thank you with a high five at next car meet!

As Description says, looking for a 280ZXT Throttle Body pref '82-'83 with throttle body. Please send PM/pics if possible with price. <3

I believe I have the GM HEI Ignition(?) I will have to double check. I'll print out the wiring guide, but if the block is from an '81 and the CAS (Thank you for the correction) is from an '83 will i have to replace any of the internals to accept the new CAS? On a previous thread I read it said this might be the case, but i'm failing to find that specific thread again. Again, thank you for responding.

Long story short... Have Megasquirt, hate it (was installed incorrectly harness so molested at this point that its depressing), want to go OEM or as close as possible. Have: 1971 240z everything is stock 240z besides the engine. GM hei ignition 1981 280zxt engine Currently on engine: external '81 Distributor megasquirt ECU/kwik wire harness '81 280zxt injectors So... I want to remove the MS ECU and associated wire harness, Have a 1983 280zxt Engine harness/ECU/Distributor (10notch on spindle). Can i remove the MS EC/ Kwik engine harness, using it as a guide for wiring the '83 harness and retain my '81 distributor? Or do I need to modify anything and use the '83 Distributor? Thanks for any help

I bought a car that barely ran, the Alternator wasn't charging the engine, the headlights wouldn't work, the turbo didn't pool, and the Car ran either extremely rich and stalled or extremely lean and stalled. After re-wiring nearly half the car the car ran and drove with power but was still either rich or lean. I thought it was the tune (Turned out the tune was mapped for a 4 cylinder engine). So I pursued attempting to correctly tune the engine. Only reason I mentioned the distributor style was because I knew that there are different styles depending on the model year. I understand that the first thought is to Trouble shoot why the engine won't start but I know its 80% the Mega Squirt tune is fucked up somewhere or I played with something mechanical I should not have. That's fine. I simply want to know if I buy a '83 Engine Harness would it still hook up to an '81 Engine and ECU? Or would I have to do extensive work on the Wire Harness to make it compatible? With the mention of the '82-'83 CAS would it be better since I want to put a OEM Wire Harness to change the CAS at the same time? I am sorry if I caused any confusion and thank you for replying.

So long story short i have a 1971 240Z with a 1981 280ZX Turbo engine, The PO installed a Megasquirt ECU and I understand the idea behind Megasquirt but I don't have a laptop to fully utilize the software or the time and patience to properly re-wire and customize the program while I am in college. SO... I rewired nearly the entire car twice to no avail and finally decided to say **** the Megasquirt and just put an original ECU in and redo the wiring from scratch. I realize I have probably done more harm than good from rewiring, but NOTHING worked properly on the car (Funniest thing I found: Alternator was wired to itself). What i'm wondering is: With a 81 Turbo engine can I use a '83 Engine harness, and an '81 Turbo ECU? Should I follow the '83 Engine harness install or use the '81 Engine harness diagram? Would you guys suggest a different Engine harness besides OEM? I currently have a Kwik Wire Harness installed (Could I even use the Kwik harness I have and simply substitute the Megasquirt ECU for the OEM ECU? What I know about the engine: N47 heads Low imp. Injectors Stock turbo Engine turns over but wont start (Won't start due to either Mechanical or Tune) Stock turbo Low Imp. Injectors GM Ignition '81 style Distributor Megasquirt v3 I have to check to get specific version #. ENGINE DID START AND RUN If you need anymore information or pictures just ask.
