Hey,

These are the photos you asked me for earlier, sorry you can't see a damn thing, all the wiring is hidden. The only two wires coming from the distributor go to + and - on the coil. There's no ballast resistor, no vacuum advance... nothing! There is a one additional wire going to the + and one to the -, but I couldn't trace where they originate from.

Hope it's of some use anyway.

Cheers,

D

Thanks guys and Mag 86 I believe your right. The good news is I'm picking up a 280zx dizzy on sat morn,rushing it to the mechanic who i hope is going to have it running same day.Thanks for the effort on the pics Drew, and guess what I saw just around the corner in someones back yard? a 210 4 door. I knocked but nobody home so I slipped down the side to see if it was man or auto.Turns out to be man but fully gutted inside. I'll go back tomorrow and ask what's happening with it. I'd really like to manualise my coupe and grab the bumpers. Ill let you know the story.

Oddly there IS a vacuum advance on my dizzy, but it has been left disconnected - no hose. It came back that way from the auto electrician and I didn't notice till later. Maybe it doesn't work, or they deemed it superfluous, or maybe, just maybe, they happen to be a pack of 2-bit retards! Still, I'm none too fazed and aren't going to get nasty about it; the car is going just fine without it. I gave it a run with the vacuum advanced connected to the manifold and I couldn't pick any difference. Maybe it is cactus and no-one ever mentioned it.

Keep me posted about that 4 door. I've always got room for another 4 door. Even one without bumpers!

Drew, spoke to the young lady at the house tonight,her boyfriend was given it but has sold it to a mate who's turning it into a rally car. She's going to get him to ring me regarding the bumper. Hopefully he don't need bumpers for what he's doing.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
