I just purchase a 1970 240z that is in overall very good shape. I noticed that the dash light is very dim. when I put on the gas it gets a little brighter but no where it should be. Could this be the coil or voltage switch???

Ok I don't even know if it's a problem yet but I'll try and describe to my best ability what exactly happened. Yesterday I drove my Z along St Kilda and it was a nice warm night lots of people out and i got stuck in moderate traffic for a while. Anyway I was heading off to a friends house and I started to notice my indicators had slowed down a little as in not blinking the same as normal. The headlights were dimmer but the car was driving ok. Later I noticed that the AMP meter was reading in the negative which i had never seen before and thought soemthing was wrong. Anyway I parked the car at my friends place and when I came back later I switched the car on and it seemed …

I just got this AM/FM/CD stereo reciever deck for the Z- came with a pre-assembled wiring harness and all. Well after a couple days I was finally able to remove the center console (the choke lever was causing a hairball of trouble) and get out the stock AM/FM radio. Well, none of the harness' match up and plus they're all male connectors. I went looking for adapters and found one at a WalMart for 74 and up Nissan's- didn't come close to working. I tried to hardwire the kit by splicing lines without a manual- litterally in the dark. Didn't pan out. If anyone has installed a custom reciever deck (which I know some of you have) can you please help me!! Any diragram/schmeatic…

I own a '74 260 Z- the service manual states that 1 is black (1.25 mm(0.049) & 1 is green(0.5(0.020). The fusible link wire at the auto parts store is labled by gauge & amp. How do I match? And what circuit does the black protect and what does the green protect? Stacey

I want to go after the rear window defroster, which doesn't seem to be working; I turned it on one evening when it was foggeed up a little, and it didn't defog that much. I don't think there are any gaps in the gridlines, so Would it be better to optimize the voltage at the defroster terminals, or should I measure the current capacity of the circuit, to see it it's drawing XX amps, or what? thx

I suddenly lost my tail and running lights, and dash lights in my 71. I still have headlights. Brake lights and turn signals still work as well. Fuses appear OK,and I guess its a ground or wiring issue. Where should i start to check? Can someone give me a real basic over view of using a test meter to check wiring? Also, I notice my headlight switch feels different as well. Used to take a bit more force to turn lights on, now it seems real eassy. i wonder if its a sign the switch itself is bad?
