i have recently bought a zx import that has been running on 5 on and off since i bought it and after a zx owner looked at it we pinpointed it down to the wires to the coils(spark plugs). i took the covers off the wires and there were no breaks but moving the wires made it run on 5 and less. the wires are brittle and iwould like to replace them along with the connectors to the coil. where can iget them from without replacing the whole loom as i wouldnt be confident enough myself unless somebody else could do it?

This is your best bet, without a doubt, from Courtesy.

You may want to replace the injector connectors while you are at it as well, because these are prone to just give up after a while, as we found out with James' car a few months ago :D

Or failing that Concept Z, as Jaffa is about to order some stuff from there, and may be prepared to help you out :-

ithank you. I have been on the conceptz site and have seen "nissan oem efi wiring harness" is this the bit of kit i will need to replace all wires and connectors? it says it should be done with engine out of car, has anyone done it whilst in car and would a zx newbie like myself be able to do it?

I wouldn't attempt the whole loom!!

 

This is what I have got -

thanks I did see them but they looked like they were just the connectors without the wires. if they come with wire where would i cut the old/or connect the old?

Well just give yourself a bit of room to make it easy to solder on the new connectors. About 6 inches up maybe?

yes but the wires are dud aswell i think when u squeeze some of them they cut out and when u move them?

The wires on your connectors now will be ok 6 inches up from the actual connector won't they?

You wont actually re-wire the connectors, they are already done. Cut them further up so all you have to do is solder the wires together? Get what I mean?
