Z31 Power Transistor and Circuit[edit]

The Ignition Signal from the E.C.C.S control unit is amplified by the power transistor, which connects and disconnects the coil primary circuit to induce the proper high voltage in the secondary circuit.

Upgrade for the Power Transistor[edit]

As our Z31s get older and the supply of Power transistors diminishes, a replacement is needed. The newer PRW-2 transistor, found on several distributor-equipped Nissans, can be easily swapped in to replace the stock unit.
