Posted December 11, 200618 yr comment_192286 HI AllI have recently bought a 73 240Z, is in above average condition, was owned by the same guy since 1974 and was only every driven in summer. The car only has 60k Miles on the clock so I have no intention of touching the motor as this stage. It is very hard to get parts for the Z here in Switzerland so that is going to make things difficult if things start to fail. At the moment the car is stock standard, was repainted about 25 years ago and zinc treated, so no rust! I am currently looking for some cool wheels, would be happy for tips regarding suppliers! Also have a problem with the electrics, battery although new does not seem to charge, I replaced the regulator but as soon as the headlights or the interior fan etc are running, the ammeter shows a negative charge....am guessing the alternator needs replacing. Any tips on an aftermarket model would be greatly appreciated!!

December 11, 200618 yr comment_192289 You may want to check your ground wires also before changing your altenator....I had a problem like that on my toy and it was just a ground wire....

December 11, 200618 yr comment_192296 I am not sure about the availability of parts there either, I am in the USA, and work in a place here with primarily Swiss German, and Austrian people, so If you really need some parts, I can try to buy them,and maybe ship em to you. I am usually quite busy, and it may take a while to do, but we could try if you need. I know some online part centers only ship domestically here in the United States.
