Administrators gav240z Posted August 27, 2015 Administrators Posted August 27, 2015 It was fitted to the turbo L28s.. Quote
Cozza Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Nah it's for forced induction, just missing some pipe work. Quote
C.A.R. Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 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. Quote

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 ? Quote
GongZ Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) 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 eBay USA listing for "79-83 Datsun 280ZX fuel injector blower cooling fan assembly complete w/bracket" - http://www.ebay.com/itm/79-83-Datsun-280ZX-fuel-injector-blower-cooling-fan-assembly-complete-w-bracket-/111752965197?hash=item1a04feec4d&vxp=mtr eBay USA listing for "79-83 DATSUN 280ZX TIMER INJECTOR FAN MOTOR 28912-9100 GOOD WORKING OEM PARTS" - http://www.ebay.ca/itm/79-83-DATSUN-280ZX-TIMER-INJECTOR-FAN-MOTOR-28912-9100-GOOD-WORKING-OEM-PARTS-/221660605555?hash=item339c006c73 Edited August 28, 2015 by GongZ Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted August 28, 2015 Moderators Posted August 28, 2015 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) Quote
GongZ Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 They look more appropriate in a 280ZX = more stuff to cool Quote
