BAlford Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 I am planning to buy an 83 280zx that had a V8 installed a few years ago. The dash was removed along with the wiring. I plan to reinstall the dash and install an A/C so I can drive the car on the street. No A/C, the tach has never been hooked up, etc. What problems will I run into? Where would be a good place to get a wiring harness? What else will I need? waskomtexas@waskomtexas.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 Hrm, are you planning to use an aftermarket harness like the one from Painless or try to use Nissan stuff? Aftermarket tach? Aftermarket A/C? IMO aftermarket all the way might be easier but I'm still crutching along with the stock harness myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAlford Posted August 7, 2001 Author Share Posted August 7, 2001 I have done a lot of work on cars but this will be new to me. Where can I find out about the Painless wireing harness? On the A/C shouldn't be too hard if we use a Chev compressor and make up a hose that will adapt form the Datsun to Chev. waskomtexas@waskomtexas.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 http://www.painlesswiring.com/ is the url of the site. Good luck! BTW, I would also go with an aftermarket system like the Painless--it'll be much easier in the long run, and work at least as well.
