TomoHawk Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I was looking for Horn relay in the VB catalog, and saw all the other electronic modules & stuff you can get. Should I buy up spares of certain things for when my original ('78 280Z) parts finally quit working? Can you subsitute newer parts (like relays & ignition module) for the originals? I looked at the horn relay scematic and noticed that they got the whole horns load running through the relay coil! I think mine is welded closed- no wonder.

DavyZ Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Personally I would say "No." Relays are fairly generic and most Datsun parts are interchangeable. I think using parts from other cars is 'fun' too--especially trying to make it work. Fusable links are a PITA IMO, so eliminating them is a smart thing--go more modern Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 I got a relay (Bosch?) from a friend who thinks it should just plug right in. I f I can get the relay box under the ood open, I think I will remove a couple relays like: A/C Inhibitor (what does this do- emmissions?) I would like to sinplify things a little, so I can replace the engine and front end wiring. All that cruddy wire makes me a little nervous sometimes, when I turn on high-current things like turn signals, brakes, headlights. The switch guts seem OK, but only 10 volts at the brakes lights or headlights doesn't soiund right, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
