DatsunBoy77 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 All right, so far i have wired up the fuel injection part of the wiring harness, but the section that goes over to the pasenger side confuses me. Mostly with what hooks up to the battery cables. What wires go to the terminals? Pictures would be nice of some wiring of a L28ET in a First gen Z (mines a 77).

DatsunBoy77 Posted March 19, 2003 Author Share Posted March 19, 2003 OK, maybe i didnt make myself clear. When you swap in a L28ET into a 77, is the only wiring you need to swap over is all the wiring connected to the ecu. I have almost the whole wiring harness (engine and chassie) off of a 83 turbo motor. I am just trying to fix what the old owner gave up on. Also, anyone have a 83 distrubuter for really cheap, the ears that bolt on are broken off, probably the reason it didnt work when he had it in. He was running a 77 distributer once he gave up on the 83 wiring harness. Damn this wiring is confusing. Please help a brother out. Oh yeah can anyone tell me about swapping guts from an AFM, i got the 77 and the 83, and he swapped them so he can run the 77 system on the 83. I cant afford to buy a new oil pump, distributer, and a AFM right now so i am trying to make due until after the 7th of april. I dont really drive the car but i want to be able to move it just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunBoy77 Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 Alright this is my last attempt for this thread, after a quick look at a 280zx non turbo, i see that their coolant temp sensor plug comes out from the fuel injector part of the main harness. How come my turbo harness doesnt have this. I cannot find my coolant temp plug anywhere. Every thing else is there, but that. I need this to swap in the correct oil pump and distributor. Any suggestions as to the easiest way to change the oil pump with the engine in the car? If no one responds to this post i am probably going to post this in a different forum. Thanks in advanced.

Tim240z Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Ryan, I'll look at my FSM and see if I can figure the wiring thing out for you. Give me a day or so. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunBoy77 Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 Thanks, i am trying to buy a FSM but i am just waiting for the guy to respond so i can send payment. Too bad you didnt have a scan of the page with the wiring for the engine. I have a diagram for the wires showing which colors go where but it doesnt really help for this mess. My harness looks so different than that of the non turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 If all else fails I'll go and look at my 83 ZXT and see where the wires are. You are talking about the temp sensor that's in the front of the thermostat housing right? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunBoy77 Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 yeah thats the one. igot so many wires and dont know what ones to use for just the swap. The guy gave me the whole chassie harness along with the engine harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudge Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 DB, how goes the swap? I'm still stuck in my own wiring hell. What wiring are you stuck on at the moment? The fusible link from the old battery cabling goes to negative on the battery BTW, although maybe you've already covered that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Crap, scratch that - fusible links on the wiring diagram are ++++++++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunBoy77 Posted April 6, 2003 Author Share Posted April 6, 2003 Actually i haven't worked on it becuase of the recent ice storms and waitning on a new distributor. But otherwise it is near completion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
