Hello, Have you ever seen this step lamp?I had naver seen this until I have got it today from ebay.I just want to know how many people have ever seen this actually? I knew it is shown in the parts catalog,but there is no detail description about assembling it. I found there is a box mark on the back of the interior door panel.Also I found there are 3 holes looks like suitable for the step lamp instalation below door armrest's location. I will try this and will report when I succeed. Thank you, kats

Hi, I am a noobie to this site...here is my problem.I have no spark..I recently installed an EI module and distributor in a Datsun Roadster. The reason I'm posting here is that since the EI setup from the 78 620 should basically the same unit as what I found being discussed in this forum. I have wired up the control box from a 78 Datsun 620, it's the remote box with the module plug. I converted the distributor to fit by replacing the shaft. Everything lines up to where my #1 is still in the same place as the old point distributor and the reluctor is lined up with the pickup in the distributor. As far as I know I wired everything correctly, I've installed a couple MSD …

Evening everyone! Thought I'd like to share what a great Z day I had. Went to work when nobody was in the shop and took the combination switch apart and got my turn signals working again. Took some photos (like maybe ten to fifteen) close up with a good quality digital. Is their any place specific I should post these and the info I have garnered? Thought perhaps folks might be interested. I would have been interested in a step by step with photos , they were a Ba$#@%& , starting from scratch. I've had 'em apart about three times now to get everything working. Probably know all I'm ever gonna about what goes on inside there. Thoughts, recomendations ? I'm not trying …

hi guys, first question here... i have a '76 280z that the previous owner screwed with the interior wiring. he put what he claims is a 300zx fuse box and harness in it?? i really wouldn't know if this is ture or not b/c i am totally new to the z's. I have the old harness and would like to put it back since nothing in the cab works now! wonderful wiring job! my question is, would it be easier to put the old harness back in by taking the dash off? i've seen a couple pictures of dash's for sale and the wiring harness is still attached to them. would this save time, or is it not necessary? thanks adam

Hello All I just finished installing replacement/believed correct wiper/headlight and turnsignal swithes on my 09/71 240-Z and have only one speed of wipers working, the low speed. All else seems fine except for the high wiper speed. Note the switch installed is one without the intermittent wiper setting (my wiper motor only has five wires to it). The switches which I have now removed were a matched pair from a 260-Z (intermittent wiper function and pass button at end of indicator stalk). They had been installed with the use of what I will call an "adaptor harness" rather than hacking up the original wiring harness of the car (thanks someone). I did not install these and …

Hi all, I have a '72 240z that I'm trying to replace some insrtument lights. On the fusebox cover, there are some warning indicator lights (seat belt, choke). Mine lacks the bulbs and I don't know what size to replace them with. Phillips lightbulbs lists the instrument bulbs as #1445, but the base is still too big for the fixture. I don't think I have an aftermarket item. Anybody have any ideas? (Dare I say that I need "enlightenment"?) Greg

Hello I'm having a problem with my 78 280z where it refuses to start. I believe it to be a problem with an electrical relay. I have tested the battery and the starter and both are good. the connections all seem to be good. I try to start the vehicle and find all that happens is the main relay under the passengers side dash starts clicking like crazy it has these markings "25230-89958 MR 3S-561 jideco japan" I also hear a relay clicking under the black box where the fuseable links originally were, I have since replaced those links with fuses, I have also replaced my ignition with a push button set up. I have managed to make the vehicle start by bridging the poles on the st…

The headlight acorns on my '72 240z are in bad shape. I have some decent acorns off a '75 280z. However, the wiring connections are different. Is there any way to remove the wiring from the '72 and put in the acorns from the '75 without cutting the wiring? There's a gromett the wiring goes thru, but it doesn't look like if the gromett was removed that the connector would go thru. Has anyone tried to remove this wiring with any success?

I went on a zclub cruise yesterday to the Petersen museum, and noticed the differences in which bulbs were lit up on 3 different 240's for braking and tail lights. looking from rear,bulbs on light assembly left to right top to bottom--1,2,3,4. Car#1 lights, bulbs1,2---brakes 1,2,3 car#2 lights, bulb 1,2---brakes 1,3 car#3 (my car) lights bulbs1,2---brakes 3only.My question is which is factory. Ithink #2 put in euro tl assembly. should my car light up like #1? With his headlights off all 3 lights came on for braking. with my headlights off only bulb #3 comes on. did he modify his? richard (can/t use nickname) funk

I have an 83 280zx with an E12-80 module on it. Is this right? I just bought this car to restore and it wants to fire up SOOO bad but just won't. Maybe this module is wrong or maybe just bad gas as the car sat for 2years. If anyone has any advice I would most definately appreciate it.
