Use Quick Towing out of Fremont. They're great guys and saved me a few times when I got stuck in Cupertino.

Do you know if it's possible to find the one i posted? I looked all over, but could only find the stateside model.

Anyone know what looks to be like a brake light that says DATSUN is?

It kinda looks like the matchbox ones are a lower quality hotwheel. The paint doesn't look as good, imo.

I want a 280zx. I don't know if that was talked about in the thread and aint nobody got time fo reading 85 pages.

I'm not sure where to put this, but it's connected to the wheels so I reckon this is right. I have a full car's zx lugs that I have no use for. I read somewhere that Nissan made some special ones or something, idk. basically, how much are they worth? Apparently they aren't cheap.

I'm spending today looking through the wiring. Will update hopefully saying I figured it out *knock on wood*

It was running with only changing the cap, rotor, and wires for 6 months now. This is the first time that it stopped.

Maybe you guys will see something that I'm not...

Nope. Rechecked this morning and nothing. Sure is. I'll post a picture of it too. I'm checking for spark with a multimeter and putting a screwdriver in the plugs close to the suspension tower bolts, as you described. I think I'll just go out today and buy a new coil and cap. I just bought a new rotor a few days ago so I figure that it can't go bad that fast. I am not offended at all. You took time out of your day to try and help someone and for that I'm grateful. Also, being a noob I don't mind being advised. I almost got my brother to lick the coil :rofl: ...then I didn't wanna kill him so I told him to stop.

Long story short, the 280zx doesn't start anymore. I know the coil has 12v when the key is ON cuz I tested that, but there is nothing at the plugs. I also know the distributor cap receives the power because I tested that too. That's about the extent of my understanding of these cars. On the way from the dizzy to the plugs I'm missing something. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

In that case...someone help me figure out why I don't have spark! Electrical isn't my thing.

Thanks for the welcome! I would come if she was running right now :( I'll save that for another thread, though. Don't want to get into trouble on my first day here lol
