My 1972 240z is the same as Rob's.

UP= right turn

DOWN= left turn

BACK= flash high beams

FORWARD= highbeams will stay on. Make sence?

I coulda sworn that's what I was doing... o.o

Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow. I think my right headlight isn't aligned right either. I drove for the first time in near total darkness tonight, and the right headlight seems to be pointed at the ground noticeably steeper than the left one. It's not a big thing, but is there any way I can do that myself, or it one of the few things that even you seasoned Z-nuts leave to the pros?

Are you sure that your switch works like that? As far as I know, Zs never had the high beam flash feature. That showed up in the 810s and ZXs.

Yes, there is no 'flash' feature on the S30...pulling back clicks them on...doing it again turns off the high beams...the push back for a flash is something on newer Datsun/Nissans/other cars.

I don't think there are any magnets in a starter motor. Once the coils are energized they become electro-magnets....but no real magnets exist in the starter!

You best re-check your electric motor manual. Not until recently (last decade or so) have there been motors that do not have magnets around the armature.

As I remember, without a magnet you can't get an electric motor to run.

No, your right guys. Mine is the same way. no flasher feature either. This is what happens when you have more than one car. You get 'em mixed up :stupid:

You can position your own headlights...just use a screw driver, there are adjusting screws around the headlight, loosen/tighten to get it just right.

Excellent, that's what I want to hear!

Well... I tried the highbeams again not long ago... but... for whatever reason, I still don't have them. When I pull the switch back, all it does is turn off the low beams and leave me with nothing but what would be parking lights.

Is it possible that there's a wiring problem or that the wrong kind of bulbs are installed or something?
