Does anyone know the pin placement on the turn signal flasher for a 71Z ? Is the 12V in on the left, the ground on the right and the line on top. Thank you, TimsZ

On my 280Z, There is a small bundle of wires behind the passenger seat, by the door, that does under the rear deck to the rear lights and such. Right now the wires are exposed so you can see them if you tilt the seat forward, and it is held in place with something that looks like wide duct tape. Is that correct? I had a foot-long piece of plastic wire loom, so I put it on there so I don't have to look at the wires temporarily, but it's still not too pretty. I was thinking that a piece of carpet should hang down from the front of the luggage rail to cover the exposed metal of the body and those wires? thxZ

So, I am having some problems with my turn signal fuse. It seems it somehow blew out and is now blowing out fuses all the time. It actually melted off the original fuse holder and is being a PIA to fix. I was thinking of just pulling the wires out and putting in a panel mounted Here's the breaker I'm thinking of wiring it to . . Link to page Do you think this would resolve the problem?

Hello, I can't relocate a thread I read a few weeks ago which identified a plug with 2 black and 1 green wire behind the dash. I'm putting a new Radio in and the wires I'm looking at are under where the Radio sits with a 3 pin solenoid fixed to the left side bracket. The plug wasn't fitted onto the solenoid but it will fit. I've downloaded the colour wiring diagram but don't see it shown. Can anyone identify this or remember the thread which discussed it. Don't want to plug it in, switch on and see what happens. Thanks.

Does anyone know of a source for the rubber boot that covers the Battery terminal on a 280Z alternator? MSA has nothing, and neither does eBay. Is that something you commonly find at the JY on newer vehicles maybe? thxZ

Hey guys I'm fiddling with my buddy's 78 280Z and having a tach issue. His original tach seems to work fine until around 2,500 RPM's and then gets stuck. Sometimes it won't come back down for a while. I assumed it was a mechanical issue inside the tach but I'm not sure. I borrowed another used tach from a local guy....he said it supposedly worked when it was pulled a while back. When I plug that into place it actually works worse than the original. It takes several seconds for it to come up to the correct RPM reading and also won't seem to go above roughly 2,500 RPM's. I cleaned the wiring connections at the coil and the coil was a stock replacement that was just pu…

My hell super tones have a relay that came with them. I would probably need to replace the OEM one for the Hella one, but I am not sure. Better to be safe than sorry. THE FSM says the relay is located "on the left side dash side panel" Is that near the hood release handle? Also has anybody else hooked these up? Did you use the Hella relay or the OEM one.

Hello, I've just imported a 240Z from the US (Cal) to the UK. I read on another site that there was a guide on this site to modifying USA spec lights to UK spec (ie: remove the day running lights but still able to use the indicators). There's thousands of threads to do with lighting but the search words I've used can't locate it and I've looked through the various sections with no success. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure how my alternator is wired the way it is and still working. My car is a 77 and has been swapped to the internally regulated unit. According to the write up on Atlantic z, the wires to be connected from the harness side are 2 to 3 and 1 to 5. My car has wire number 5 connected to wire number 6 with a diode in between. I am curious how this is working and I realize that my brake check warning lamp and voltmeter light arent working but it does not currently affect the way the car runs it is however hard to start when cold and when I say cold I mean sat overnight regardless of the outside temperature.

I've been diagnosing a brake light issue that recently came to light...... I finally managed to get my passenger side brake light working but the driver's side is still having issues. Turn signals, hazards, and tail lights work on both sides. The driver's side brake light will work if I apply power direclty from the battery. I have power at the wire for the driver's side brake light, however, if I then connect the wire to the light, the voltage drops to zero. Remove the wire, and the voltage returns. It only took me 6 hours to diagnose that issue. Does anyone have an idea as to the cause for this perplexing problem?
