Question Condenser

Where can I order a new Condenser that is on the side of the bracket that holds the ignition coil? The condenser is a SHIZUKI 250-0.47

Welcome to ZDriver!

If this is for a 280zx TURBO (you didn't mention the model... I'm going by your name that you have a turbo), it's actually an ignitor, not condenser (the black square box w/ two spade pins). You can buy it through Nissan, or a junk yard.

If you are talking about the one wire cylinder condenser that runs to the bottom of the distributor, that's an RF resistor, and can also be bought through Nissan or a junk yard, though it's not necessary to have it installed.

Sorry, I have a 1983 Datsun 280zx Turbo, 5 speed. The deal im talking about is placed on the right side of the Distributor Transistor Unit. If it's the RF Resistor, i didnt find any at Nissan. I would also think you would have to have it installed so the distributor wouldn't send to much power to the ignition coil and fry it

Do you have a picture?

Because I'm not sure what you mean by the "deal" that's placed on the right side of the transistor... There's only 3 things: Coil, Ignitor transistor on the side of the coil bracket, and the insignificant RF cylinder (not pictured below).

This is a scan from the FSM, which part are you talking about?

Yep, that's the RF resistor. The car will run fine w/o it. And you apparently still have it, so why do you need to replace it?

Wire strippers, soldering gun, and some heat shrink... a lot cheaper and quicker.
