ok if I was guessing I would have to go with air horns , actually can't make out what it was bit there was alot of it , it connected to my ignition a relay , not sure if I have more electrical issues but I doubt it and 4 toggle switches and two relays inside the engine compartment , from another post , not real big on electrical, this is my first z with anytype of electrical probs , here the pics of the carnage and after pics , thanks All Jeff

missed the one I seek now , a right hand drive Z 240 could have had one 6 months ago but passed on it because it was an auction and couldn't see before i bid but I will fine one eventually

it looks like a handle for a toy car

I think it more fitting on a 4 door neon or civic that has cut the springs and has the glow neon on the wipers and wheels caps, and let not forget the stickers that improve your hp. I assotiate those wings with cars that are slow, and cars that have all of a look but no go, I would never do that to a z but its like everything its taste, I prfer the sleeper aspect of street cars , very clean nice cars that all you see is the rear of good luck

well what I think I could own and could afford are two completely diffrent lists I have my 72 240z and my 91 honda crx si both I love dearly and have owned many supras and mistubishi starions and assorted others <22 in total> Wish List New GT-40 Acura NSX M3 last 2 generations 70-72 Cuda Mini S 350z<january hopefully> M5 a/c Cobra 996 C2 62 Patrol I am sure there are more maybe a tr512:love:

hey is 280 hp and running a 14.1 right , I mean no offense to the owner but I would think it would push it through the 1/4 faster than that , I realize that 14.1 is not slow by anymeans but still 280 is a bunch of ponies, Jeff

well I had the exact thing happen 2 weeks ago with my 240z , ended up being the fuel pump , check to see if its getting fuel to the carbs , you can take a long piece of fuel hose and run the out side of the fuel pump to a coffee can and see if it fills up , to make sure you are getting fuel first , good luck:geek:

I would gladly but due to the k&n filters they are no longer there , so I am trying to make it work correctly

no I wasn't , actually the first time I had driven the car , just not got it tuned enough to get on the road , hhm I bet you are right , how interesting , how do I get rid of it

it is a valve , have you check to see that the heater hoses are just bad and cracked maybe in an are you can't see, if the hose feels hard and lacks the rubbery feels they might just be bad , much cheaper than the valve and if i was under there doing that anyway I would replace the hoses just to make sure I wasn't under there replacing them after the valve as well, good luck

crazy ideal here but you might get her to swing towards a older vw either a cabriolet or a jetta , not too bad on repairs or one of the slightly older sentras , not overly sexy but does the job and not a honda

hey check out this link for your easiest and least expensive answer , if interested I have a guy who custom built a harness for my electronic dizzy< not much to it really but its new and has either the by pass or eliminates the ballast resistir and I have a word file that explain it all very well , made sense to me which was amazing http://www.geocities.com/zgarage2001/engine.html scroll down to the ignition area I can sent you the instruction if you like just pm with your email address , good luck jeff:geek:

Zhadman , count me as very interested in a new harness , thanks

Alan , I am sorry to hear of your bad luck but you gotta be somewhat thankful, atleast he didn't clip you and make you lose control and cause more damage to the Alfa or worse you could have gotten hurt, I am surprised that the police acted like that , in fla hit and run with more than $500 damage or with injuries is a felony , not to mention tried to ram you . But above all be thankful it wasn't your Z that was hit. Best of luck

yes there are like 5 regular generic switches that were in the center console where the cig ashtray went

the tube go to the front of the engine bay and just end like they are venting there and the 2 wires go into the wiring harness

ok I need to lay off the painkillers or start reading better , if your is a 78 280 the part number for bv is 54-234and from msa is 16-7646, it calls it a thermo-control units119 through bv and 72 through msa

i think I found it in the motorsport catalog page 97 also there is a great blow up on bv on page 69 , what year is the car ?

that is the heater unit , it could be either hose the short one is the inlet from the side of the block and the other long one goes the either the waterline spliter if you have water in your manifold or directly to the waterneck above the alternator

i was thinking of like you said running a line maybe down to the bottom of the engine bay to take the fumes out of the area to disperse

i aways either buy new or find that I have shot the wire with the staple gun in a fit of rage when tring to hang them instead of being able to work on my Z , I also figure out if you walk around the house mumbling under your breath with the staple gun most of the time someone usually want to take over my job as the lights hanger :classic: good luck

another pic of the 2 mysterious switches

hey , I have a bunch of loose wires and toggle switches that run from inside the car in the center console area to these relays or what ever they are , never seen them on other peoples z cars are they something the po just did you are they supposed to be there but not the toggle switches, trying to clean out his wonderful way of fixing things , thanks in advance for the help , these are on the fender engine bay passenger side under the batter area and inspection lids
