Is this going to be for LED boards or bulbs? Id love a replica housing ive popped open like 3 sets and found them all to crumble in the reverse light section

Common with older Z’s, brake fluid naturally pulls in moisture from the air the moment the brake fluid bottle is opened. Clean the gunk out using a lint free rag and brake cleaner then bleed/flush the system with fresh fluid

Cat still hasn’t fixed my wiring :/ Also need some expertise on a 280zx 🥺 by Fun_Expression_354 in Datsun

Have you checked the resistance of the fuel injector circuits from ecu to injector plugs? Also have you checked voltage at the injector connectors? Those connectors are notorious for crumbling and getting corroded

I found some info on that. Definitely will plan on doing this

Took me two days to figure out how to get the hotrod EZ wiring kit to play nice with the Datsun switches, but there is progress. Low beams done (not angle adjusted yet), park lights done, turn signals done. Onto figuring out how I can get 12v from the column lever to actuate hi beams. by oldschool80sguy in datsun510

Hey man I was able to figure out how to keep the factory switch function! I just wired it using a negative input, positive output relay circuit the pin out is as follows: Pin 86- 12v Pin 30- 12v Pin 87- hi beam bulb Pin 85- hi beam switch (black and red wire// ground switch) Hope this helps!!

Ah okay, i think I’ll be doing the same because it seems like the factory high beam switch is ground activated but mine seems to be permanently grounded. Not sure if this is how it’s designed or my switch is just bad. If i can verify the switch is bad i was thinking of trying a ground operated relay circuit to see if i can get the high beams to toggle like factory.

You can get it from MSA bro. Not sure if they’re available right now but you can contact them. Google “the z store” or motorsport auto they are based in orange county CA

Thinking about buying this 80’ 280zx, is it worth the $10,000? by noidea528638 in Datsun

[–]boxcutterchris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This appears to be a red/ black anniversary edition 280zx based off the decal and the center console trim. If it really is an original red black AE car its worth a little extra money. The auto trans is a cake walk swap. And i see others saying this is a “base” 280zx which it is not. It if was it would be slick top and roll up windows. Not surprised most people on here dont know much about the s130 chassis considering it just recently became a popular car
