Was also on the Californian 280zx. It's just a system of fuel injection and exhaust recirculation to lower gas emissions. Not many around, as the Bosch L-jetronic got upgraded and passed the emissions testing. I've seen it on a L20A in a C210, pretty interesting, no power upgrade though

Thanks for the info Guys. I used to use this car as my work car for 10 years as you know the rust creeps in and so am in the process of replacing panels and getting a paint job. Currently running a 2.8 but I have a hot 2.6Z engine in the shed that I am thinking of ratting the best bits from.There seems to have been alot of features on these cars for their age air con,power steering,electric windows,closer ratio 5 speed gear box. I'll post some photos when I have it done.

Thanks Again.

I think this model, not the JDM model, was what started my love affair with all things Datsun/ Nissan. I remember reading about a tweaked model called "Alpine" in the SMH, but it was not till 1984 that I got my first RMR30 Ti My daily is still anR30..

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
