Wow! I've heard of it but never laid eyes one.

It's a fan used to alleviate vapor-lock on Zeds in hot climates.

Makes sense, but would work even better if it drew air from outsidd of the engine bay, could there be a piece of ducting missing ?

  From some Google searching -

  • usually called an 'injector fan' or 'fuel injector blower'
  • fitted to Turbo and N/A 280ZX's in hot climate areas of the US
  • operated for 17 minutes after engine switched off - only when engine/engine bay was sufficiently hot  
  • controlled by a relay behind the glove box liner
  • apparently did not have extra ducting fitted

What a Cool little extra, almost worth having just as a unique conversation piece.

Interesting that the car in the original post looks to an early 240Z (well it has a 2400cc cover)
