Please Help me identify this electrical part **(Solved)**

[Retro Z]

Hi Guys.

 

Wondering if anyone can tell me what this item is. Its a little square box screwed directly to the sheet metal just in front of the coil and behind the fresh air duct on the passenger side tub/bay

 

It has a plug that looks almost identical to the TPS plug on my efi intake with 3 wires.

 

I recently unplugged it and one of the pins snapped off as it was corroded, so i need to replace it with another or something similar.

 

Is it some kind of ignition module? My car is not going yet so i cannot test to see.

 

The engine is a L28et from a us spec late 280zxt (p90a/f54) with microtech Lt-8 ecu

 

Was previously installed and running in a early 260z 2+2. Now in a late 240z.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I'd say it is a transistor of some sort; looks like that bracket is a heatsink as well. Check on the HybridZ site for more info if they have any.

Google the part number ?

thanks Dimitri i just put up a post on Hybridz.

yeah i have already done that, aswell as visit repco/burson and the code brings up nothing on their systems

Have you looked in the FSM yet?

 

The markings would be consistent with a coil igniter.

Thanks for the help unfortunately i don't  have the FSM. i only have a 240z L24 specific fsm.

 

Can you elaborate on where i may be able to find a replacement? I haven't been able to find anything similar on N/A 280zx's that are wrecking (parting out).

Definitely looks like the ignition module I had on my wait for it... 'Mitsubishi' distributor.

But it looks different, I have heard you can fit an ignitor module (another Bosch Module) to a Z distributor (seem to remember it was a Ford). Perhaps someone hooked that up as a modification when they couldn't find a ZX module?

 

Do you have an electronic distributor?

Thanks Gav. The mystery thickens.

 

Yes i do have an electric distributor its the same as this one pictured with the same plug aswell.

Yup, Definitely.........its the flux capacitor!!!

have to agree with nato on that!!

[gav240z]

If I had to take a serious guess I'd say it's part of the 280ZX optical distributor set up found on the turbo models.

Hi guys thanks for all the help. I have managed to find out what it is after a few hours of scouring the net.

 

Its a universal Tridon ignition module used for nissan/subaru/toyota.

 

I was googling the whole number and brand (as pictured) previously to no avail but i found it under TIM036.

 

Just ordered it so hopefully my car should run once installed.

 

thanks again guys. 

 

Tai.
