98blackbell Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Are u saying it's froze up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Usually when they're buggered, it's because the protective coating on the circuit board has turned to jelly and run down into the bearing underneath the optical disc. The bearing is common and can be replaced. The coating is gooey and can be cleaned with solvent. But you don't need an entire distributor if you're just looking for the optical module. You can replace the stock module with one from any VG30E distributor type engine (early Maxima, Z31, Infiniti M30). You'll need to bolt it in, but the mounting holes are the same as the 280ZXT and the module itself is the same, just packaged differently - it'll slip right in to replace the original.

JSM Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Are u saying it's froze up? Yes the shaft won't spin. I can see if I can free it up. When I pulled it off the cars years ago I noticed. i just put it in a box, that I finally just went through since i've moved. Oddly, I still have a pic of the car!
