  1. eBay70-78 Datsun 240Z 260Z 280Z axle half shaft flange bolt +...USED rear half shaft nut, bolt and washer set for 1970-1978 Datsun 240Z, 260Z and 280Z cars. All are clean and the threads are good.
  2. You want OEM then. The aftermarket bolts won't work for you? It's almost worth buying an old junk 280ZX, they use the same parts but the cars are cheaper. I bought a complete 1978 280Z parts car just for the transmission but ended up with a bunch of other useful parts.
  3. You can put your web site link in your sig. Probably help your advertising if you posted a picture of a repaired circuit board. We all like to look at stuff like that. Go to account Settings and Signature and put some stuff in the box. Click Save and it shows up underneath all of your posts.
  4. Man, I should have kept my bucket of bolts from years of salvage yard parts picking. Prices are ridiculous. Forgot to say also that we've all been so trained to go directly to an internet search engine that we've forgotten about the local dealership parts department (no offense intended, I just know that's how I've been retrained). If you get the right guy, someone whose been around a while, they will know how to search nationwide inventory and get it sent. On the other hand, if you get some fresh rookie you'll have to guide them through how to search using a part number. I went through this recently with a different brand of car. Worth a call or two. Courtesy Nissan used to be the go-to place for old Nissan parts but they have faded away. Worthless today, their web site doesn't even work correctly.
  5. Z Car Depot has done a good job if building his parts variety. Looks like they have what you need. Looks like you can spend a bundle by the time you get all of the bolts, washers, and nuts. I'd look around for used if it was mine. The Nissan parts are very durable. Z Car Depot IncAxle Driveshaft Half Shaft Bolt Special 240Z 260Z 280ZAxle Driveshaft Half Shaft Bolt Special 240Z 260Z 280Z New half shaft axle bolt. Will fit Datsun 240Z, 260Z and 280Z, 1970-78. These are bolts for the axle shaft to the outer stub axle at the wheel. T
  6. You're welcome.
  7. What year is your 280Z? Is it a bot also?
  8. @Terrapin Z probably has some good quality used ones.
  9. My comment was about the headlight power supply switch. This thread is about the turn signal part of it. Your best path forward is to address the comments of the very first post. It's business, not personal. Ba da beep... Good luck.
  10. Yes, I mentioned it in a previous post. Spin the wheel by hand, pull the handle. See what happens. Sometimes you just have to take things apart again. I remember replacing a transmission on the same day that I had just finished installing it. It had a leak that only happened while in use. Good luck.
  11. Here's the start. Notable that there's no way for too much voltage unless there's a problem with the voltage regulator. I think he meant current. The best way to handle disparaging comments is with postitive comments. Take the high road.
  12. You won't know until you use it.
  13. 19? https://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/axle/rear-axle-drive-shaft/19 https://www.google.com/search?q=39628-E4100
  14. It will even both sides out. It affects the adjustment of the shoes so will affect the brake pedal. Can't remember for sure but I think that you will also feel the brakes apply a little higher on the pedal after a notch gets taken up. It's one reason that seems rational for converting to disc brakes if you're in to precise brake performance. Should emphasize though that you need to be sure the parts are clean, lubricated, and not worn, in order for the system to work correctly. You can test it with a drum off by pulling the cable by hand and watching the parts move, I think.
  15. You could get either in a 77. The numbers don't mean anything. Your picture is not very good. Here's some FSM stuff that should help.
  16. Use the wheel to get close and the brake lever for final adjustment. Tighten the wheel until the drum barely goes on, then pump the brake lever a few times. If the self-adjustment is working the lever will only come up about half-way. As you drive the car occasionally you'll notice that parking brake lever got tighter as the wheel moves a notch.
  17. This post from the past on Hybridz is informative. Says that the wire is not connected in the cabin. https://forums.hybridz.org/topic/83355-wiring-in-electric-fuel-pump/?do=findComment&comment=789840
  18. Edit - and congratulations. Looks like a solid car. This is 1972. It shows an inline fuse. Not sure where it is though. But the diagram shows it by the fuse panel.
  19. That's the fuel damper. It absorbs pressure pulses, from one end or the other. Not much to it and they seem to survive without problems. Don't forget that pressure after the pump is at least 36.3 psi. Those small plastic filters aren't rated for that. I made a loop in my fuel line after the pump to solve that sharp bend problem.
  20. I recognize the beat, never saw the video or heard the whole song. A song about drugs, with a "don't do it" disclaimer in the middle. They even shout freebase, and (co)ca(i)ne... sugar. Drugs. rang dang diggity da rang da dang Of course, Eric Clapton turned an old blues song about cocaine in to a big hit. Rock and roll...
  21. Somebody must have done this one since the thread started.
  22. A video by an electronics teacher explaining why some relays have extra stuff inside. Uses some words I've wondered about in the past. I don't know much about it but it's kind of interesting.
