That scan comes from the 1978 280z factory service manual. Body Electrical section. Page BE-71.

Not sure where you'd find one. You could check with the dealer or places like Motorsport, Black Dragon. etc. I've never had to replace one. 25230-89958 is the part number shown in the microfiche if that's of any help. It supercedes to B5230-W0500 and the name changes to 'Relay Defogger' instead of ignition relay when I put that number into the search at NissanParts.cc FWIW. A search also found this:
