Im aware of the bosch cap which i planned to buy, does anyone know the part number of a better rotor arm, does turn a £420 into a £500 one

I have now emailed 123 ignition shop rather than 123 de to see if they bother responding. Its such a mixed bag with quality it seems, some report zero issues and some report constant quality failings. Nice 240z on the way to LeMan classic who was running a 123 with no issues

No idea, I was hoping 123 would clear that up in their response but no. To not even receive a reply is very poor business

Just an update for anyone wondering, it seems the terrible customer service with 123 starts before you even give them money. Enquired about the issues with the resistors in the rotor arms failing, the response I got was "We do not know this problem from our products." to which i replied...

Thanks, I saw SC sell them but then saw the awful reviews so decided not to buy from them. Did you buy a Bosch cap?

Sadly we dont have a distributor in the UK that stocks the Z unit, those two i listed are our only options

Sorry, abit confused here, the factory is in the Netherlands, that's where 123 ignition shop is, but the main website is in Germany so im abit lost which is better to buy from.

I think alot refer to this https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/62220-do-not-buy-a-123ignition-distributor/ as its one of the first results when you look online for these, sadly the company didnt handle it well and there is few articles about them.

is that the 123 ignition shop??

Nice one, thank you

appreciate your input

For £400 they should be free, which retailer did you buy yours from as you can’t buy directly from 123, massive red flag there

That’s what I’ve heard, they are the only fully new dizzy available but I refuse to buy crap, especially expensive (overpriced) crap

This sounds like an interesting story, do tell

Appreciate the comment, do you carry a spare cap for the 123?

After a rotor arm failure and general running issues I’m thinking electronic ignition is a good idea, but I’m so confused on which to choose. The 3 options are a 280zx with a matchbox, a pertronix ignitor or a 123 unit. The 280zx is a good drop in etc but it’s 45 years old now and getting a...

Update 2, it runs spot on with the old hitachi carbs, so something in the new ones. Can’t find anything suspicious, pistons rise and fall as they should, choke is smooth (one sounded abit gritty but it’s just the spring wrap)

I havent got a proper flow metre, so been using the hose suck test to listen and they seem fine. Probably not perfect but no noticeable difference.

Have checked and rechecked the carbs, pistons run smoothly in their bores. I will double check the vacuum to the booster, booster is only a year old so hoping its not that.

Appears to be, haven’t found any vacuum leaks there. It also ran good for the first 50 odd miles
