I'd been having problems with my ignition wire to the starter on my 73 240z burning up, i replaced the wire and checked all the connections and everything looked fine. when i had it running i heard a noise in my amp meter and the wire burned again. i have since replaced the starter since i think it may have cause the problem. is there any other reason this may have happened. also my amp meter broke and now i need a new one.

I have checked geocities web site for the Tach. hookup but they only talk about ZX distributors. Anyone know how to wire a 240 Tach. to a '78 280 electronic ignition, or where to find out? - Jeff

I have a black two way switch on my car that was kinda screwed into the side of the console up in the fuse pannel. It sits in the middle but can be flipped either way, it doesnt stay flipped just springs back to the neutral middle position. I know it does something because the amp meter jumps when I flip it either way. And one time I flipped it and the the top left fuse (lights I think) blew out. Also what type of fuse should the top left one be, anyone have a diagram of which ones are which. Thanks!

Just got my 71 240z, and found that it does not have hazard warning lights. The previous owner said that pre 73 cars in australia did not have them, which I'm not too sure about, can anyone confirm this? In any case is it an easy job retro fit this? Also I wondered what type of fusebox would I need for the car (HS30-00829), as the one in it has melted a bit... cheers all

When driving at night, headlights are dim...when I rev the engine they get brighter. Also, at night with headlights on, the turn signals flash v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y. During the day, with no lights on they are fine. What can be done to help with these issues. Thanks.

Does anyone know why Nissan used two separate harnesses for the dash? I'm taking mine apart (ready for the new dash) and noticed it. In a few areas, some wiring crosses over from one harness to another. I will be going through the dash harness to refresh it. I'll probably replace all of the tape and a few connections. Since that was in the car (protected from the elements), most of the connections are in great shape. One of the bigger guage wires (white with red stripe) fused itself to the engine harness connection. I'll definitely replace that one. [m]

High beams

This might seem like a stupid question, but do our Zs have a seperate high/low beam function? When I turn the light switch to position one, I get running lights, and headlights only come on in position 2. Am I missing something? I haven't done a lot of night driving yet so I haven't messed with it yet but I see lots of people posting about high beams and low beams. Maybe I am missing a switch or something? Andrew

Hi guys and gals, i have noticed that my tachometer "bounces" once it gets up around 4000 rpm. what i mean by "bounces" is that the needle will suddenly drop down to 2000, then "bounce" back to 3000, then drop to 2000 or 1000 or all the way down to 0, then "bounce" up to 4000. The bouncing is random and occurs only when the engine is near 4000 rpm or more. Occasionally it will remain steady. is this common? Can anyone point me the right direction to troubleshoot and repair this? i have a little experience with cars but no clue how the tach works. i have a stock '71 240, with petronix ignitor and petronix 40,000 volt flamethrower coil. Thanks for the assistance, T…

Hi all, I'm rebuilding my wiring harnesses. This is a big chore and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy the plastic ends. The ends I am speaking of consist of multiple wires coming into a single recepticle (either female or male depending on the end).
