I just put a new dash in my 72 Z. After installation, all systems work with the exception of the temp side of the gauge (the oil pressure gauge works). Both systems work off of a common plug, so I know the plug was connected. Any ideas why the gauge doesn't work? We put working gauges in the dash from my car, so I know it worked before installation in the new dash. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Guy

Hey guys! I'm hoping you can help with a question I had regarding the ammeter in my 71. ====== The situation so far:I was driving my beloved Z last night. In fact I had been driving it pretty much all weekend without any issues. Stopped at a light the car just died. It was cold last night and I had the choke on, I noticed it was still partially engaged so I returned it to it's normal position. The RPMs dropped and the car died, I'm hoping a simple carb retune will help with that. When I tried to start it back up I got nothing, no response at all. I pushed the car to the side and then checked the wires for loose connections. I tried a second and third time. the last time I…

The antenna on this 71 240z does not seem to be stock. Here are the parts (in sequence) when removing/installing The area between the rear quarter panel (fibreglass) and the rear deck: There is a wingnut and stud which I guess is where the original antenna is attached. There is also a drain hole for a tube coming out of the antenna (potential fume hole). Lots of painted ziebart in the bottom too Here is the tube in place. I used the wing nut to ground the antenna's ground lead.

Now that I've got the car running I'm trying to fix the gages but a few of them dont seem to work. for the temp/oil gage the oil works but the temp doesnt, I believe becaus my water temperature sensor isn't working .. but im not 100% sure. for the volt/fuel gage i cant get a reading on either, but the light goes on when i turn the key "on". the clock also doesn't work. Thanks in advance

I just had to share this product that I came across when planning my battery cables. I wanted to run as stock of a battery size as i could so I could use the original battery bracket and cover for my 71(just because I had one). Anyway, off the shelf battery cables have ends that hit the plastic battery cover and are usually pretty cheaply made. So, I went on a search for battery cable ends, but then realized that a crimper would then bee needed even if I found the right ones. Then i stumbled onto the Remy battery site and found these fusion battery terminal ends-what a great idea. They had 90 degree terminal ends and I could make the cables at home easily. http://www.r…

The right turn indicator on the Jan 71 240z had allowed water to enter and the metal reflector was rotted with the chrome peeling off. Someone lost the 3mm screws over the years and had used wood screws. The amber plastic holes were toast. I managed to source a replacement from a friend however two of the 3mm screws had rotted away. This donor light did have an OK reflector and ok amber plastic however removing the 3mm screw remnants was like surgery. After removing what I could, I used a soldering iron to shape the amber plastic. Here are the two offending screws. Here is the donor with the plastic melted away to prevent damaging the amber part with the embedded …

I removed all of the parts (except the spring clips that hold the plastic pins), soapy hot water, bathroom sink, artists paint brush (to reach in) and some swishing. 3M plastic polish on the outside and a nice refresh results.

The switch functions by simply grounding the circuit(s) when the door opens. In USA cars, the driver side switch has two connections for grounding two circuits: 1. Dome lamp 2. Door-open-with-keys-in buzzer The passenger side switch has only one connection for grounding the dome light. Note: there are wires in the USA harness that are tucked away and not used that are for a "step light" ( a light in the door when it is open). Looks like a very creative brake line fitting adaptation to me Here are the switches after a refresh with an abrasive. This is the normally "open" state for the driver side switch when the door is closed and presses on it. This…

Here is the wire bundle coming out of the centre of the dash on a 1971 240z: Here is one part of the bundle: Q, what do the blue, white and red-with-blk-stripe connect to? Here is the other part of the bundle: Q, what do the blue fused leads and the connector with the blue, white and white-with-blk-stripe connect to?

In the photo below (1971 240z Jan.), there are two separate leads with barrel connectors coming from each side of the fuse box. What do they connect to?
