For anyone who has been on the fence about LEDs: I bought some Sylvania 2357 brake/tail bulbs since they offered 25% more lumens on the hi (brake) setting, but I didn't notice much difference. So I headed to Walmart and picked up the Sylvania ZEVO LED 1157R for $20 (2 bulbs). They advertise a "lifetime warranty" on the package, and they plug right into the stock bulb housing. I've been skeptical of LEDs, even though I like them and the idea, but these are designed differently. They have a shield to reflect the light onto the stock reflector instead of multiple "diodes" (square things). No pics, but I highly recommend these specific bulbs for Z's, at …

I've searched and found nothing (with a solution) to my problem. 71 240z...built L28...triple webers....pertronix ignition Last week I took the car up through the revs and the engine sputtered a bit and my tach and center gauges went dead. This problem came out of no where. Car has been running great and reliably all year. I replaced the blown fuse and the gauges came back...it stayed fine until I tried flooring it again and once again at high rpm.... it sputtered and the fuse blew. The problem has gotten quickly worse and now the fuse will blow as soon as I turn on the key...without the engine even starting. I've tried hooking up a 12v light to t…

I am getting a headlight harness, some Autopal H4 housings, and some halogen bulbs in the mail this week. I can take more pics as I get them. If someone could be so kind as to help me (us) figure out how to install the harness on a stock 76 280z, I'd really appreciate it! Here is a pic of the "typical" install of the relay harness. I know the plug won't plug into the 280z harness. Should I connect the two powers directly to the battery +, or the alternator? Which wires should I splice and to where on the stock harness? The one on the radiator support? I thought only one wire would need to be spliced, the headlight on/off switch, but this …

Been doing a lot of work/research lately (as you can tell by my numerous posts). I am still on the fence about converting all or almost all bulbs to LED. I still might do this, but I'd also like to add a 3rd brake light. A search shows a few have done this (not on this site) with good results. Since I have a rear louver, which I can't/won't remove since it's drilled in the hatch, I don't think mounting it inside would make it very visible. I'm thinking of picking up a third high mount brake strip from a 99 Tahoe (which is my DD) and mounting it with emblem adhesive either on or over my louver. I would like to increase my braking visibility to t…

Found lots of stuff in here on LED headlights, but not these specifically. Has anybody tried these in their 240? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010BWQOW4/ref=psdc_318323011_t2_B01HD6HX8U It looks like these will fit the stock H6024 cans.

I’m trying to figure out how to hook up the original radio as well as a modern day radio in a 1974 260Z. The original speaker is gone and I have two door and two rear compartment speakers. If I chose to have the original (monaural ) radio power the two front speakers and still be able to run the two front and two rear with the modern radio, I’m assuming I need to do some special wiring since both radios cannot power a speaker at the same time and since the two front speakers cannot be hooked together for the original radio because that will be a problem for the modern radio that needs to keep them separate. Please look this over and offer suggestions on if it will wo…

Is there a 240z Harada semi-automatic radio antenna repair thread on this site? I seem to remember seeing one years ago but I cannot find it. And now I need to fix an antenna. Thanks, Daniel P.

Hello all, I've been searching for the past week about converting my 1976 280z to better headlights, I'm kind of leaning towards the H4 (due to cost, original lens, etc...). Do I need a new harness if I use the stock rated wattage (60/55)? Which wiring harness "upgrade" plugs in directly? Do i need it? Please explain why a relay(s) help? Could I make one myself? I'd like to keep the stock "look", so the Hellas or Autopal? Which H4 bulbs will give the best "white" light (not yellow)? Do I have to holesaw my stock housings for the connectors to fit? Where exactly am I disconnecting (and replacing/making) a harness? engine bay? under d…
