Bloozed Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Evening all I am frustrated, apart from that my 260Z 2+2 has a 280ZX fuel injected engine which has always been ultra reliable. I bought another 240Z but the "old dependable" had blown a head gasket and was in the garage for a while and when I eventually went to get it, there was an electrical problem that the garage thought was the reluctor coil?? The car ran as normal and then it would cut out and be stranded for an hour or so till it cooled. Cut to the chase, the local auto electrician now says it needs a new distributor and they are unavailable according to him. He is an auto electrician and doesn't know"these jap parts, let me have a Bosch". Does anyone know of anyone who reconditions them, supplies new ones, has one spare or knows an alternative to get this car going again. I would appreciate someone giving me some direction on this, funny I had just started to think that a 2.5T upgrade was the next step but the garage thought the engine was in great condition and I think it is time to let this car go to another to love as I am more into the new car. Any ideas? Gordon Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted October 19, 2012 Moderators Posted October 19, 2012 You can remove the little Mitsubishi black box on the side of the original distributor and wire an external Bosch "022" type module in its place. The red and green wires just get extended and plugged into the new module because you can't mount it to the distributor again. Quote

Bloozed Posted October 29, 2012 Author Posted October 29, 2012 Hey guys thanks for the response, I tried the pm but didn't work. I had the little black box replaced but now the issue seems to have moved on to fuel delivery. (has been sitting for a few months.) Will keep chasing it down Bloozed Quote
