This' Stephen, with the pearl white 280ZX from the meet. I have a complete fusible link box if you're interested (as well as other miscellaneous parts and panels). If you're willing to swing by my place, right off 880, you can see what you might need.

you dont need fusible links, theyre a pain in the *** to find and replace, just put fuse blocks in like i did
about $12 in parts from wal-mart and about a half hour of work with a wrench a screwdriver and a dewalt cordless drill

well i found one used for now, but what rifleman502 did seems way better, especially if one of them goes out again. i was wondering if you could tell me the specifics of what you did and whats needed. thanks

Hey apollo, I thought I showed you my similar setup at the meet the other weekend? Either way, it's pretty easy. You basically take the thick wires that lead up into the old fusible link box and put the new fuse blocks inline between them and the battery.

what amo fuses do you run?

rifleman502

i used Maxi fuses, they ran me about 98 cents a peice, and theyre all 30 amp, so far no problems, been runnin them for about 4 months now, the blocks can be found in the car audio at wal-mart, for about 9 bucks a peice, basically you run the leads from the battery terminal to the common side of the block, then you take the other leads and run them to the other side, thers nothing behind the sheet metal behind the cruise controll vacuume module, so drill away
pretty simple really
