Sometimes when I start my 72 240Z, the tail lights, side marker lights, dash lights, and radio will not work. When this happens, the headlights still work and the turn signals still work. I usually turn the engine on and off a bunch of times and they all come back on. Where do I start looking for the source of my problem? Thanks. bodie@sti.net

Well, all of a sudden this morning, I've developed a fairly serious electrical gremlin in my 280. I know it's pretty tough to diagnose on the forum from reading about everybody else's gremlins, but I wanted to post the symptoms to see if anyone recognizes the problem. Parked last night. No problem. Came out this morning, started right up, and the radio acted like it had lost power (no memory). Then I noticed that the clock had stopped too (and yes, it had always kept perfect time before). While the car is on (engine running), all is fine. Volt meter shows correct voltage, all lights work. As soon as I turn the key from On to acc to turn the car off, the radio los…

Ok, my signals and everything works, but the hazard doesnt. What could be the cause? Does or did anyone else have this problem?

So I swapped in the 280zx dizzy on my 240 and my stock tach works just fine. Before I did the swap I pulled a tach from a 75 280 (gauge looks the same!) in case my stock one didn't work. I have the dash out right now and am swapping everything over to a restored dash and am just wondering if I should put in the 75 tach or keep the stock one in since its so convenient right now? Thanks

I've installed all a/c parts from a 260 2+2 to a 2 seater some time ago and just left it unconnected till now, (summer). This included condensor, pump, compressor all piping and the part that sits in the dash, (that is like a small radiator). I thought I could just gas it up and connect power to it but have since found out I also need some other circirtry under the dash??? Any advice or pix would be appreciated.

Has anyone taken a basically stock 240z and rewired it to use modern relay technology? Ie: Bringing the high amperage wiring outside the cockpit? <i>(thanks to MikeW for helping me use the proper terminology)</i>

I have some electrical trouble shooting to do. The previous owner said that when the lights are on and the break is applied a fuse blows (I don't know which fuse yet). What does a good, basic electrical trouble shooting tool kit consist of? Any good sources you know of? I don't know what the heck I'm doing but am ready to give it a try. Thanks

Does anyone use/or have you found, but not used, any halogen or xenon or otherwise high output, near stock wattage replacement bulbs for the tail lights, reverse lights, and marker lights for the Z? My manual lists the stock wattage at 7W/23W for the tail lights, the side markers are 7.5W. Would like something brighter, without going to a high output LED, for two reasons: don't want to overload the system with high wattage bulbs, and don't want the directional of the LED. Thanks, Chris

Pretty popular with the ricers. I don't really know how old of theory this is...perhaps it has been around for ages. This 'multi-ground' thingy--where a half-dozen or more fat ground wires run from the battery off to all over the engine. They bolt to just about anything that doesn't move. Is there any merit in this? steve77

Koito Headlights 1 2

I am curious if anyone would be able to tell me if there is a source for obtaining Koito headlights. I have not had much luck in searching the web and scouring auto parts suppliers for the Koito headlights. In my fleet of Z cars I have some that still have the Koito headlights installed and they still work! My 1982 S130 has both Koito headlights which are fully operational. In case anyone is wondering my 350Z is equipped with Koito headlights so at least "le cost killer" has not gotten rid of that O.E. supplier to Nissan. Any help would be greatly appreciated...Kats...Alan T...
