Guest 280ZX_Classic Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I did a search, but only found questions about the earlier Z's. I have a '79 280ZX and want to upgrade to power windows. Can I just bolt them in and plug them up? I Know they were offered my year, so I assumed that maybe it would be a simple install. I am just tired of manual windows. Also, I am wanting to upgrade to power door locks, and a security alarm that has ignition kill and/or remote start/cutoff. Anyone know a good place to get a setup like this?

80LS1T Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I would think that they should bolt in. You will probably need the regulator assebmley, switches and new door panels to make them work. Then you just need to feed power and ground. I dont think they offered power locks, did they? I know you can get aftermarket power lock kits.

lilj Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 yah, the power windows look to be fairly simple bolt in.. and no i don't believe they offered power door locks. however you can go on ebay and buy power door lock acuators (sp?).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Back in the mid 80's I saw a 280ZX with power locks. My dad was a nissan mechanic at the time, and he acted like they were stock. Maybe the '83 model year? The system was pretty simple. When you locked or unlocked either door, the other did the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRJoe Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I have a set of widow drive motors form a 79(?) ZX if you want them. I was going to try them in the 280Z, but the regulators are just a little too diferent. I also pulled the regulators, so you can have the whole setup if you want. Just make me an offer. - Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 280ZX_Classic Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Shipping would probably be a pain in the ass man, so don't worry. I live ten minutes from the biggest nissan Z car junkyard in the southeast. It's not a problem to get the stuff, but thanks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
