We need to start putting little yellow shield-shaped badges on the cars in the pictures. If somebody tries to use it, you'll know straight away!

Electrical problem stopping me from driving!!!
TomoHawk replied to Black Jaguar's topic in Help Me !!
Ok, but did you try the lights? I'm going to try a secret potion I found to soak the connectors clean... -
That's too bad. A recent search on eBay showed over 500 "280Z" items and about 2500 "Datsun" items. 3000 x (a nickel) = $150 !!

Too bad we can't make a portal here to that site. It might be used to replace the classified section and a small commision could be used to support this site.

///there is always a way-- you just haven't thunk of it yet.

It shouldn't be too hard a thing to do, for people that can work on older cars. All you should have to do is adjust the voltage regulator. One should educate himself before Selecting a battery any way, although the industry designs the things for use by idiots.
-
Anybody tried using the new 14 volt batteries? Their supposed to give you better ignition, faster starting, brighter lights and other good stuff. thx
-
So what dod you come up with? Remember to give us credit or we'll call your teacher!! :devious:
-
Good. 1 less rusted connector to worry about.
-
Where is that O2 sensor supposed to be at? My 78 280Z has a header on it.
-
Open headers can be fun during the afternoon... :paranoid:
-
Even a clamp-on silencer would have made a huge difference straight away. I noticed the D-type Jaguars on the B-J "Car Search" show used a (dual system) with dual silencers that look like a dual tip from the rear.

It looks like the winner is Vanishing Point! I don't remember the part of the naked lady on the motorbike, but I remember the motorbike, hitchhiker(s), and at the end the guy was so doped up on pills and depressed/worn out, he just crashed into the roadblock. I'll put it on my list... thx.
-
Ther was a taillight wiring harness that I was bidding on ther other day for $10, andthe winner sniped me at the last second for $50! Well, if the guy want to pay THAT much extra... I will go back to my original plan with the rusty connectors.

"Black Moon Rising" was also cool. Cool car. the story wasn't so great- like a preview of 'Knight Rider.'

I dunno about that movie. The one I remembered was from the 60s or 70's. This guy wakes up one morning, gets in his car and ( I think it was a cuda- could've something else) just drives across the dessert to CA. Couldn't figure out why. Don't rember if he had a pregnant wife. On the way he meets various people. I think there was a short chase, with the guy and some local yahoo redneck-types. The guy finally makes it to CA where there is a roadblock and he just crashes into the front of a bulldozer-the end. Not sure he was being chased by the Police. Would like to look into it deeper to remember correctly. thx

Anybody remember some ol' car movie where a guy drive a cuda ( I think) across the American desert, meeting different people (boy on a scooter, truck driver, witch lady), andthen crashes into a buldozer just before the movie ends? My vote for wierdest car movie.

-
Thanks, but I'n not ready to do any wiring stuff for many months. I always do reasearch far ahead of time.
-
The grinding was when using 14 inch rims. The calipers were a little too big.
-
I was thinking that they could be used for security or aux lights, or even kid-proofing your car. Hopefully someone willl find the information useful.

I looked through my Mouser book and didn't notice any "covers". But a google turned up this page on aircraft switches: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/ntoc.php?sec=el&cat=switchaccessories The covers are held on by the toggle switch's nut.
-
I chose to use some kind of toggle switch because the turn signals are just a simple switched electrical circuit and you could probablt hide the switch so it's not onvious you changed it, and the original switch will still work as it did.
