This may be highly relevant to your question or may just not matter. Here it is I own several Z cars 74/260 76/280 77/280 2+2 and am a Old man Datsun collector. To the point ....I once had a right front signal bulb go out. No big deal, stopped into the nearest parts store and popped one back in. The signal worked again all was well. Breifly... then strange things started occurring I went for local Z car expert who ask me ...You haven't by any chance changed a bad signal (right front ) lately? I said yes how could you have known that? He said if you will notice the wattage on the bulb is different than the original OEM and while the light will work it is tied in to the ECU unit and causes problems that the engineeers don't generally think about when designing the schematic layout. In short after putting in the OEM signal replacement bulb with the proper wattage...Perfect again... all was well with the strange acting motor problems. What a strange thing I said. But one I will never forget. OEM is usually my preference since that rather strange experience. It appears all the circuit designed has been carefully added to accurate resistances and design characteristics. Kinda weird but since that occurance I have heard of other vehicle manufactures doing the same thing. Hope someone benefits from this . Happy Z Remeber problem fixed new one occurred. Blew my mind that two things so distant could be relevant.
