Well, I'll be tackling this today. Starting with the rear harness, then the front. I still do not know what to do with the dash harness.

Awesome, third time I've typed this up. Alright, so I have a 72' 240z and an EZ wiring harness (I forgot which one, but it's plenty). I have all of the diagrams I could find, and I'm using a color diagram from slash5.com. I'm no electronics noob, and have been messing with automotive wiring for quite a while. Even after consulting all my sources- I'm still slightly stumped due to the repetition of some of the wire colors. I'd like to integrate the EZ harness with the stock OEM plugs that go to the dash to keep it removable. I'm using this image ( http://album.hybridz.org/data/1/240Z_Instrument_Harness.jpg )- are there any similar diagrams that illustrate what each plug is for, instead of just the colors? That'd make it much easier to snip off the old plugs and solder them to the new harness. Also- when replacing the harness what to do with the obsolete resistors, relays, etc? Should they stay? Replace them? Are you all using the stock voltage regulator? Did you add relays when re-wiring? Anything else I should know? I'm also eager to see photos of how everyone did theirs.

Taken from my local automotive site http://www.vadriven.com Ever since the first time I saw a 240z, I knew I had to have one. Well, now I do. Previously- every car I'd looked at was a rustbucket, or a shitpile. This particular car has been a southwestern car for most of its life- leaving it pretty much rust free. The body is straight, the frame rails are solid, the paint is shiny- hell even all the rubber boots under the car are rip-free. The motor (which I'm still researching) is a re-built (yes, paperwork) later 2.8L L28 motor with a P90 head. Should get me somewhere around 190-200ish Hp. For now... The previous owner of the car had a little wiring mishap and decided to replace the entire harness, but stopped before ripping it all out. Luckily, I studied electronics etc. for four years in tech academy- and have been messing with car wiring for quite a while. The PO purchased an 'E-Z wiring' kit for the car and after reviewing the instructions, schematics, and the harness and car itself, I believe this is a job I can tackle. With that being said there will be ALOT going on with this car and I'm beyond stoked to be doing it. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shitty camera died. MOAR when I can find someone to come shoot some pichas First step is to clean up and prepare for everything. I'm going to be exposing what little rust there is on the floorboards- then sealing it with either POR-15 (or something like it) or some of that rubberized sealant. All of the sound-deadening is well, shitty and that's all gonna go. After the interior is sealed/painted I'll be moving to the engine bay and pulling the motor and preparing for wiring... but thats down the road.
