jmendez72 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hi, I'm looking for two of the side-connecting terminals / connectors to replace the factory connections to my fuel level sender. I've found a source but I'd need to send a check or money order to order them. It seems unlikely that this type of connector was proprietary to Nissan for this connection and that I'm simply missing the right search term to find them elsewhere. I'm not in dire need of the rubber hoods shown in my attached image. Thx for any help, njm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senna21 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Hi, resurrecting this post as I'm in need of the connectors as well. Were you able to find another source for them and if so, where? Thank you in advance, Cw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 @senna21, how about these? https://jdm-car-parts.com/products/fuel-sender-wire-connector-2-pc-set-for-datsun-240z-260z-early-510-620-720?variant=29670929727597&country=US¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOorswWtJKDRvuU-hfe5UDlY1phSIFSARxMWNfFZ-r4scgyYypB9VdXI When I've needed new connectors for mine, I've usually just fashioned them from standard female blade electrical connectors. Not the most elegant solution, but they haven't failed yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Just ordered. $12 but shipped "free" - so... I'd like to source the rubber boots - they don't last here in Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senna21 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Thanks jhm, I've ordered and installed them. I couldn't find rubber boots so I just used the sheaths they came with and covered them in a lot of electrical tape. A new gas take from S30 world went in as did new fuel sender from ZCar Depot and vapor hoses from Resurrected Classics. On another note, I'm trying to install new front prothane bushings, ball joints, shocks, springs etc.. and of course it's fighting me every step of the way. Everything seems like it's been tightened down with an impact hammer. But I've gotten the driver's side apart and when I went to press out the bushing I mistakenly only pressed out the rubber and inner sleeve. It appears this (see photo of C-Arm) is the outer part of the bushing. Am I correct? I've tried pressing it out with a 24mm impact socket, from the front end of the arm, same side as in the pic. Should I be trying it from the other? It didn't move a millimeter and it actually bent the top of my press. I could take a saw to the inside and cut through it but that's always dicey. The other thing that's fighting me is the nut securing the shock to the strut. It also won't move. I've done over half a dozen cars in my life and I've never had something like this happen. PB blaster hasn't had any effect. I'm not sure the Special Service Tools are available anymore. So, any help on that front would be appreciate. Thanks jhm, I've ordered and installed them.

Mitchel0407 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Those sleeves are really had to take out, that’s why they sell inserts that reuse the old outer sleeve. Because of this I went with polyurethane bushings in my 280z and I must say they are pretty comfortable. People always complain that they cause massive vibrations and are undrivable on the street but I really don’t know what they are talking about, they feel fine to me.

calZ Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I agree. Are you sure the Prothane bushings don't use that outer sleeve? Most poly kits I've seen are like Mitchel said. You might want to see if the bushing slips in as it sits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darom Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 @senna21 I would advise you (if you still have a chance now) to remove your brand new sending unit and apply some JB Water Weld or Tank Weld (or whichever preferred fuel resistant epoxy) to the inside/outside of those terminal posts. My brand new sending unit from ZCar Depot leaked. I filled up my brand new tank (also from the s30.world) and went to a car show. I had a big embarrassing fuel leak. They are sending me a replacement unit. I won't be taking any chances again and will JB weld stuff. Both posts leaked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrFeelGood Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Although out of stock currently, 240zrubberparts.com offers the fuel sender boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
