Thats because they didnt have them back then: ) If you unhook your battery for 10 to 20 minutes it will reset everything. Hope that helps you out.

SOURCE: 1986 nissan 300zx driver power

Did it rain before it happened? (Humidity?) It happened to my 2000 Maxima. A few days later it was OK. I also checked under driver's seat. I thought maybe I was pushing on a wire with stuff I had there..?

SOURCE: timing on a 1991 nissan 300zx

There is no means of setting the timing if you are referring to a conventional timing light. The engine is designed with sensors that sense the angle of the camshafts in relationship to the crankshaft and whether it is on the intake or exhaust stroke on the #1 cylinder. This design is actually a little more complex than that because it has variable valve timing which means that the angle in which the camshafts open and close the valves, change with RPM's This give the engine the best of both worlds. It's like have an engine with cams designed for torque at low RPM and a set of cams designed for HP with a free breathing quick revving engine you would have on a race course. The ECM is constantly changing the timing and injector pulse width based on many sources of input, from, the O2 sensor, air flow, air temp, coolant temp, fuel pressure, RPM's and a host of other inputs.
SO>>>>>>>>>>>> in a manner of speaking, unless you are making reference to setting up the timing chain, everything else is under control by the ECM and related components.

Got a. 2001 Nissan Pathfinder the obd isn't lighting up my reader which fuse would it be

The OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system in a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder is powered by the vehicle's battery and is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM). If the OBD port isn't lighting up your reader, it could be due to a blown fuse.

In your Pathfinder, the OBD fuse is located in the fuse box under the dashboard on the driver's side of the vehicle. The fuse you need to check is the 10A fuse labeled "ECM" or "ECU". You can consult your vehicle owner's manual or the fuse box cover for the exact location of the ECM fuse.

If the ECM fuse is intact, there may be a problem with the OBD system itself or the wiring connecting it to the ECM. In that case, it's best to have a qualified mechanic or technician diagnose the issue to prevent further damage to your vehicle.

Where is the obd port located on a 1990 nissan maxima

OBD ports HAVE TO BE within 3 feet of the steering column.
3 feet means some are just on the other side of the center transmission shifter area. Yours may be in the fuse box in the lower dash.

Where is the ignition power transistor for the 1986 300zx?

I have little experience of the European spec car but I am guessing that it doesn't have a power transistor type of ignition but either a separate ignition module offering variable dwell angle and a low quiescent current or a module built into the management ECU.

If it is a module or amplifier type it is likely to be sited fairly close to the coil.
