rwill300x@hotmail.com Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I need an ECU and a starter....and maybe some more stuff. As I said it's an 82 280ZX non turbo 5 spd, but for anybody that might know the answer to this question... The old ECU says "do not use on anything but an 83' 280ZX"..... Yeah, I bought it like that, but it's run like a bat outta hell for almost a year. Sooooo, can I get away with putting another one from an 83?? I live in Magnolia and I need it quick! Thought I'd give it a try, if you do hit me up PLEASE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KunoZ Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Only 82 and 83 ecu's can be interchanged. If anything later than that no, since becuase the 79-81 ZX's use a external crank angle sensor (CAS) but as for the 82-83 ecu's use an internal sensor inside the ditributer for the engine timing. So, your in the clear man. Hoped this helped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(goldfish) Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 The 81 external and 82-83 internal CAS are turbo only. The N/A's different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjp280 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Call Doug at Awesome Z (281) 219-0015 (I59 and Little York). He probably has one that he'd be willing to part with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
