please answer right away

steve

I'm not big on 280s but if your talking Z versus ZX

my answer would probably be on the NO side but I could be wrong

im not always a big help sorry

Dave.

You might try PM'ing ZmeFly as he currently owns a ZX and may be able to guide you on this. Sorry to be of so little help, but I've never owned or worked on a ZX, or any fuel injected Z car.

sorry killer, i figured if anyone would know

It would be you,

your like a Z-god or some thing you seem to have an answer for everything

oh well, I tried

Naw, you got me confused with someone else. I'm VERY 240Z/early 260Z oriented. Never worked on a fuel injected Z or ZX, and have only driven one, once.

If I were hazard a guess, I'd say he MIGHT have to match the AFM to the computer controlling the system (probably model year specific in the US) but that's just a Wild arse Guess.

ok thanks all, but if anyone else has an answer let me now asap. thanks

I doubt it very much. Never tried it, but generally pre and post '78 don't mix too well (in more ways than one, it seems :devious: ) . Things like the ecu and AFM can be pretty particular, even down to the specific year...and especially turbo/non-turbo, etc. I would suggest one from an '80 if that's what you have.

Hi, SMusicMans! The answer to your question is "no". Here are the air flow meters that are interchangeable for the 280Z's and 280ZX's:

280Z: all years (75-78)

280ZX: 80-83 models only (not the 79 or Turbo models)

280ZXT: all years (81-83), except for the NA models

ok, Thank you all for your help. It has helped out alot

thanks
