Hey everyone, Can anyone reccomend a shop in the San Luis Obispo area that will re-wire a 71 240z? Also, does anyone have a rough estimate of how much i'm looking to spend on getting the car rewired? Basically, the car has been sitting for months because I don't know enough about wiring(hardly anything), and its got some serious wiring problems. The person i got the car from had hacked up the wiring harness. Taillights weren't working, and the battery was draining. I rewired the whole car with a 73 harness, and now headlights and turn signals don't work, and i'd just like to let a professional deal with it. Thanks for the advice.

Hey all, I just rewired my 71 Z with a 73 harness It WAS working fine(with the exception of reverse lights(still working on figuring that out) and turn signals(pretty sure its the combo switch) Anyways, tonight, I tried the start the car, there was a click sound(like the sound from the voltage regulator), and then nothing from the starter or anything, so i turned the key back to the Off position and there was another click from the VR. I tried to start the car again, same thing. So then i tried just turning on the headlights, VR clicks again, and i have no lights or anything. Turn the lights off, theres a click again from the VR. So i get out and pop the hood, turned on the inspection lamp, click, no light, turn light off, click... So i got upset, went inside for about 30 minutes, came out, inspection light comes on, cool! but then i try to start the car same thing. Then i wiggled the battery cables around, and somehow that fixed it, car started, ran great. 2 hours later, same thing. Is my VR bad? or should i check something else?

so if the car i got the harness from IS a 73, which i'm sure it is, is there anything i should go back to the yard and get? I was the first person to crack into this Z(they JUST got it). So, all the stuff is still there and in decent shape, with the exception of some of the plastic panels.

there's a possibility that the harness i got was out of a 73, as the speedometer started at 10mph. The guy at the yard said it was a 72. Is this going to pose anymore of a problem?

Is it possible to use a 72 wiring harness in a 71 240z with little to no problems? I recently got my 71 and the wiring is a MESS... so i went to the junkyard and got a complete unmolested harness from a 72 complete with fusebox. I only got the rear harness and the dash harness though.
