Hi, I need help. I have a late 73 240 Z with intermittent wipers and an electric fuel pump. I just put in the dash a day or two ago and have been having electrical issues. I’m not sure if I have all the relay/harness connection right. The lights all work, the blower works, the hazards work the car runs but will not turn off with the key. When the motor is stopped, there is no voltage on the coil. The wipers work to a point, the intermittent setting gives me low speed, low speed gives me low speed and hi gives me hi speed. Can someone confirm if the small group of wires that has the Fuel pump fuse on one end and the relay block on the other all goes to the relay with the…

I'm looking to upgrade my alternator and I don't have access to my Z at the moment. Is it the same distance as the "J Mount" alternators? Are the feet 80mm (3.15") or 100mm (3.95") apart? Thanks in advance,

i need to swap out my dual pt. dizzy with the electronic igniton type. Is it as simple as disconnected the second set of points and install a single point type dizzy? i have a automatic so would this effect my timing? Has anyone done this or know who to turn me onto who has? I was interested in the pertonix setup but they say it would not work with my current dizzy. HELP ME! i really want this upgrade. There has to be something that can be done.thanks for your help! suntadz

I have read these forums all day. For literally hours (I started around 11am today, and while I have't been at it constantly, I must have covered nearly every thread on this site dating back to 2004). Everything I've read said 'it shouldn't work.' I bought a 'new' wiring harness for my Series-1 (2/'70). I also bought one of the AM/FM radios from the later models, since I wasn't willing to shell out for the original. It'd be great to have, but supply & demand has wrought havoc on the market for those things. $350...? Reading up today, the early wiring harness should not be compatible (hook-ups, that is) with this AM/FM radio. But out of curiosity, I pulled al…

Forgive my green question as I'm relatively new to Datsuns. Heater blower and choke/seat belt/defrost lights don't work. Are these on the same fuse? All fuses look intact. Are these issues potentially linked in any way? Could it be a fusible link that's melted? I may be stretching on this one.

Did the upgrade and it's great but did anyone come up with a solution for the 73 models and the fuel pump reley problem. I saw where we should cut the wires and install a switch but isn't there a way to wire in a relay on the ON side of the ignition switch that would power the fuel pump relay. I'm not sure I want to mount a switch on the dash/center consual and them possibly forget to turn off the switch.

On my '78- Now that I have the splash guards (or inner fenders) repaired, I need to know how to route the wiring for the headlamps through or around them from the hole in the inner fender. There aren't any obvious bulges or rubber fittings like the inner fender has, so I may have to install something. The PO had them going through a crack that had developed. Are there any good photos? thxZ

Well, i was going to splice the wires but after looking it over i chose not to.. i'm looking for a good Zcar junkyard to call up / go looking. I've been over google a few times, and i've emailed a few people already. However its been 5 days no reply.. I'm starting to get desperate because these are all i need to drive the car. Here are pictures, and wiring diagrams of what i am looking for in case anyone has them and would part them.
