Gema, can you get ANY of the old connectors ? Ie, if someone wanted to keep their existing harness and replace the connectors, are they even available from Nissan? What, in the form of wiring, *IS* available?

Is it 12g's worth of quick?

You guys sure talk a lot of smack and don't have anything to back it up. Just remember that not everybody is in this game for the fastest quarter mile. He did an excellent job on the engine, chrome, and fancy stuff like that. If it wasn't for the ugly flames, that car would be pretty damn sweet (to me). A prime example is in the latest Sport Z magazine. There's a feature on a 300ZX with a bunch of tuck-n-roll interior work, custom stereo, gawdy paint job, and slammed to the ground... While I don't prefer that kind of ride, I must remember that guy spent a lot of time, money, and pride on the job he did. That's the kind of stuff I appreciate more these days. When someone spends a lot of effort on something, I like to recognize that for what it's worth. Seems like it's a lot easier to tear something down than it is to build it up....

You'd be gettin a spankin right now if it wasn't so damn TRUE!! Haha.... good one. My car rarely sees the light. In fact, it rarely sees me anymore. That's what women do to a car project.

Yea, that or he doesn't know how to drive it right .... ? A car with that much invested, I'd have a tendency to baby it too. -- M

Does anyone know how much he has invested into the car? My figure was a guess.... .... nevermind, just found the quote from his Ebay ad: Why isn't this guy an active member of our club?

Starting bid is $12k. Not bad considering he probably has $30k into it....

Pretty sure I saw that Z at the MSA show.... Nice ride.

Here's one of a few gals taking a pose with some of the fans. Just missed the money shot on this one... guess I was too slow.

I went to an aussie V8 Supercar race last year. It was pretty awesome! The car racing was good too. :cheeky: I have some great footage and picts from the event.

Hey, there's nothing from keeping the women from posting pictures of men. Just keep the pictures PG rated... -- M

Check out THIS commercial... pretty good!

Don't forget to post picts in our member mugshots gallery!!

Durr.. I didn't think about this at first. But, we are talking about the engine compartment harness at the moment... forgot that won't have anything to do with the harness going to the back of the car. :stupid: But still... new harnesses for Z's are probably needed.

Steve, I'd be interested to see the differences between the '71 and '73 harness. Doesn't the '73 have an extra set of wires to run the electronic fuel pump? If so, I'd like to copy that harness instead of my '71..... I will be running Mikuni's and need an electric pump. -- MIke

Keith, I don't have any aftermarket items in the engine compartment. And, I'm thinking the quick disconnect will probably be more of a pain to install than it's worth. What about just a stock wire-for-wire replacement? The only pain in the arse will be getting the connectors for the ends of the wiring. If I sent you this wiring harness, could you simply copy it with new connectors and fittings? -- Mike

Ok guys/gals, we now have a gallery called "Member Mugshots" specifically designed for this reason. Go upload your photos!! Put your username in the title. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=552

Excellent work on that gallery. Would you like to have this job permanently? I'm thinking you can create the page, zip everything up and then send it to me. We can put a link on the main page... this would be fun for everyone. In fact, why don't I create a gallery just for this? Hmm.... going off to do that now. -- Mike

Ok, you guys asked... Here's a pict of me next to the late Dale's car.... This car is in the Nascar Cafe on the Vegas strip. Yep, I was touching it. Just wanted some extra chi to rub off on me (or was that mojo?). [m]

Hiya!! Yes, I am interested in something like this. In fact, I think the market for a replacement harness will be good. If nothing else, the engine harness is a biggie because most are in pretty bad shape. This is my next project on my restoration. I would certainly like to talk with you more about a quick release harness for my engine compartment. How long do you think something like that would take to build? I have an extra harness I can send you if you have the capability to rebuild it. -- Mike

Hey, I'm going to be in San Diego for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Anybody want to get together? I'll be visiting family, but, I'm sure a few of us guys can escape for some fun. Not sure how many would be able to do this, but, I'm up for it! I'll be there Thur, Fri, Sat, and leaving Sunday morning. Let me know!! I'll check back...
