sup guys new member here im from zdriver.com they sent me here

• so I have my 302 5.0 with t5 trans in my 79 280zx
• I  have done my mounts 
• custom driveshaft with custom yolk!!
• stock brakes just dual calipers in the rear
• r200 LSD with straps and custom bracket to keep it in place
• hydraulic E brake as well welded tower braces and custom lower frame rails like the Miata's.
• still working on my roll cage... takes for ever for a cage !

 

I just need the wiring diagram from the stock dash to the motor.

 Any advice for me to make this Z unique ?

18yr old has a good brain but not that bright ideas compare to older ppl !

The dash?  You mean gauges?  Or power for the engine management system (the motor)?  Carburetors or fuel injection?  Not clear what you're looking for.

Hmm....unique.  Well, look around at everything other people have done, then don't do any of that!

(I know, I'm a jerk...)

Honestly though, I'm more of the opinion that projects should be planned from the end goals going backwards.  Ie, if you have a limited budget, but want a *blank* car, you do a lot of wheelin/dealing and prioritize what items will get you closest to that goal.  I wanted a V8 sleeper, totally stock looking, but clean and different.  So, I installed an engine I've never seen anyone put in a Z (and on the cheap!) and bits and pieced the body/interior together over the years to achieve that goal.  Just saying 'unique' could mean you build it into one of those burning man looking monstrosities, or you fit a fiberglass boat body to it so you can ford rivers with it!  What are you trying to do with this car? Stripped out autocrosser, or amphibious swamp car?
