I know this is a pretty mundane question but can anyone tell me when this type of fuse was last manufactured? Are they still being manufactured? These are the types of fuses in my fuse box. Sorry about the crappy picture but these fuses have a small strip of paper on the inside and it says Niles, Japan and lists the fuse amperage When I bought the car in my avatar, I had to get a bonded title. A part of that process involved a title search here in Arizona and the last time it was registered was in 1973. As some of you know, I bought the car on Ebay from an estate sale, the car was sitting on the ground, with no wheels in a small town north of Phoenix. With the excep…

So I've been doing a lot of searching and reading about what folks have been doing in regards to their wiring harnesses, and the answers are pretty varied. There have been some nice threads 3-4 years ago about remanufacturing harnesses, (link) but it appears they all really went nowhere... ...Now I'm in the position to deal with my harness and I'm looking for some advice/input on how to proceed. Basically everything works on my wiring harness. The courtesy light switches in the A-pillar were corroded and intermittently functining, so replacements have been bought. The defroster is non-functional, but I also think it's basic corrosion at it's attachment to the hatch. T…

In the 1974 260Z service manual (BE-33) tach circuit diagram there is an 'in line' resistor drawn. Where is this resistor located? The service manual isn't clear about this. Thanks

As many of you know, the wiring connectors, those nice little boxes that have clipping tabs on the sides to keep them secure, are everywhere on these cars and they love to get corroded. I am systematically going through my 1983 280zx and am trying to solve some electrical problems. I suspect many of the connectors are either shot or corroded or both. How can I fix all these connectors? Replacing them all seems impossible. Can all these connectors be replaced? Does anyone out there specialize in these replacement parts? Or do I just need to hard wire all these connections? The connectors on my TPS are green, if anyone wanted to know.

I replaced a bad fuse for my radio on my 1973 240z, after doing so, all lights and gauges on my dash (except speedometer and ammeter) stopped working. Also my parking lights and turn signals stopped working. The brake lights and head lights work fine. I checked all the fuses with a multimeter and I replaced all the bad ones, still nothing. I don't know where to look next. I ordered a wiring diagram, but thought I'd ask while I wait for it to be delivered. Thanks in advance.

Now that I can see the end of the body shop saga off in the distance, the time has come to attend to wiring harness issues:sick: The retaping part has come along fairly well. I discovered some variability in quality of splicing within the harness...some splices are secured by brass/copper crimp-style connectors, some are soldered, but all were protected by electrical tape under the outer layer of loom tape. No burned spots, little to no corrosion at the exposed splices, although some terminal spade and bullet connectors will need replacing....After de-corroding all connections with DeOx-It, a light coating of Kopr-Shield and subsequent retaping of the splices and bran…

Hi, I am a noobie to this site...here is my problem.I have no spark..I recently installed an EI module and distributor in a Datsun Roadster. The reason I'm posting here is that since the EI setup from the 78 620 should basically the same unit as what I found being discussed in this forum. I have wired up the control box from a 78 Datsun 620, it's the remote box with the module plug. I converted the distributor to fit by replacing the shaft. Everything lines up to where my #1 is still in the same place as the old point distributor and the reluctor is lined up with the pickup in the distributor. As far as I know I wired everything correctly, I've installed a couple MSD …

Evening everyone! Thought I'd like to share what a great Z day I had. Went to work when nobody was in the shop and took the combination switch apart and got my turn signals working again. Took some photos (like maybe ten to fifteen) close up with a good quality digital. Is their any place specific I should post these and the info I have garnered? Thought perhaps folks might be interested. I would have been interested in a step by step with photos , they were a Ba$#@%& , starting from scratch. I've had 'em apart about three times now to get everything working. Probably know all I'm ever gonna about what goes on inside there. Thoughts, recomendations ? I'm not trying …

hi guys, first question here... i have a '76 280z that the previous owner screwed with the interior wiring. he put what he claims is a 300zx fuse box and harness in it?? i really wouldn't know if this is ture or not b/c i am totally new to the z's. I have the old harness and would like to put it back since nothing in the cab works now! wonderful wiring job! my question is, would it be easier to put the old harness back in by taking the dash off? i've seen a couple pictures of dash's for sale and the wiring harness is still attached to them. would this save time, or is it not necessary? thanks adam
