Yea now that you mention it i have a distributor make me a offer. The only spare gearbox I have is the auto one

can you check to see if it is an optical distributor or not?

sorry to sound like a complete rookie but how do I tell if its optical, I know its electronic and and doesn't run points.

The cap will be held on with screws and not clips and if you take the cap off there will be a round metal disc in there with lots of slots cut in it. There's a very slim chance it'll have one.

once you take off the cap....inside there will be the rotor....and under the rotor will be a metal cover....and under that will be the metal disc with lots of slots cut into it

Hah, yeah forgot about that metal plate, mine hasn't had a cap on it for ages.



But pretty much if it has a screw on cap theres a high probability it's an optical one.

Thanks guys now I know I've never seen a optical one before and so on that note its not optical

bit of an ask, but is there any chance of shipping to auckland or help sorting it? Hahahaha pretty keen since 280zx parts are hard to come by.

Sure I can look into it. Its a shame you didn't ask last week I just got back from Auckland on Sunday

Oh sorry you mean the gearbox? not the dizzy yea sure I can have a look
