280zxSheik Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'm doing a 3800 Series II swap into a 1983 datsun 280zx. So far I have made motor mounts, retained the stock trans mount, combined the firebird and datsun accelerator pedal, I'm using a radiator from a turbo model and sent the firebird pcm to be programmed and have the vats removed, plus a few other small modifications. Where I'm stuck now is I need to mate the datsun body harness with the firebird engine harness so that the starter and fuel pump can be activated by the key/ignition switch. I plan to use the stock datsun body harness, the stock fuel pump and ignition wiring, starter wiring, through the fuse panel and into the engine bay. How would I wire the stock Datsun ignition to the Series II 3800 coilpack/ignition module? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZed Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The questions seem almost too simple. Have you looked at the wiring diagrams? The Firebird PCM will control the module and coil packs. Here's a source for 78 280Z wiring diagrams. http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280zxSheik Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Okay so im reviewing the schematics for the datsun and I was unsure if the black wire w/white strip needs to be directly connected some how the the series II ignition module/coil pack?Finally the fuse able links off the datsun body harness obviously need to be connect to power. Does anyone have any ideas about this? According to the fbody schematics there is a heavy gauge purple wire that runs from the starter to the bcm, becomes a heavy gauge yellow wire which runs to the ignition switch after it innervates the transmission range switch.Any help would be useful Edited January 28, 2014 by 280zxSheik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
