What Arne said. The Parking light circuit consists of The dash lights, all 4 sidemarkers, front under bumper markers, rear taillights and the license plate bulbs, which totals around 19 bulbs. So now you know why the fusebox and switch overheats so easily. All that power runs thru the fusebox and switch without the help of a relay, and that's what my upgrade does. It introduces a relay and fresh power wire into the circuit so the switch is only sending a 12 volt signal (less than 0.30 amps) to turn on the relay, to transfer the power. The HLH or headlight upgrade harness is essencially the same thing, relays and power wire into an old circuit, reducing the amperage that would normally go thru that circuit.

Just be forewarned that the 4 watt upgrade from MSA has fitment issues...... http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27184 My upgrades (Headlight and parking light upgrades, ZXP alternator upgrade and the Sidemarker conversion plugs) are all beneficial to the electrical system and safety of the vehicle. The HLH and PLH will increase the brightness of the outer bulbs, making your 240Z more visable at night and increasing the ability of people to see you before hitting your car. The SCP allow other drivers (to your left and right) to see your turn signal, in the front, better as all 240Z's front turn signals are below the bumper area and hard to see from the left or right. This and the ZXP alternator adaptor were Arne's Baby's. He brought them to light and I had the resources to make them, so I now make them and tell everyone where they came from. Thanks again Arne!! The ZXP allow the upgrade to a 60 amp (81' to 83') 280ZX internally regulated alternator. This recharges the battery faster, gives a quicker charge (at lower RPM's) and helps to compensate for 40 years of wire degradation. It also helps clean up the engine bay a little. You'll be happy with any and all of the upgrades. I, as well as Arne, Promise. Dave

OOPS. Sorry man. I just can't look at those shirts without thinking "I'll bet I know who has one" Dave

I've actually seen them around for years but was never seriously interested in them until now, now that I'm older and my T.S. Mustache is larger. Where's Tom? (Tomohawk) Bet he's got one.. hehehe Dave

Same thing.... Guess you have to actually Write them or call them. I'm more of a click and go kind a guy.

Funny you should mention "Top Gear" as I think I have aquired a European English Accent. I've caught about 20 episodes in a row in the last few days. There New season starts tonight at 6pm on the BBC. So they've been doing a Top Gear Marathon for the last few days. By the way, how do you actually order a shirt from the above company. I've yet to see any form of "Purchase" Order, Add to cart or anything other than "Contact Us" Dave

The only issue with the POR15 would be that it's weakened by UV rays. Says righ ton the can. Top coat it, use it in areas not exposed to UV rays (Sun)

Welcome!! Start looking on the west coast ads and southern states (Utah, Texas, Arizona, etc) for rust free'ish Z's. They are out there but ya really gotta look. Dave

Already covered it. Those are the reverse light wires. PO obviously messed up. Test them as stated above and go from there.

Over time, the horn tab will become missaligned with the steering wheels horn plate. Remove the columns cover and use a mirror or try and look behind the steering wheel and try and bend the tab back onto the center of the plate. You may also have to remove the turn signal switch. basically make sure that the horn tab is bend so that it has contact pressure against the plate but not so much that it will tear at or deteriate the plate and tab over time. Yo may just have a loose screw on the tabs plastic holder. Email me at wolfin32z@yahoo.com if you'd like me to rebuild your switches. It's a service I offer to the Z community and my prices are very reasonable. I have all the spare parts needed to rebuild everything back to where it Should be. Dave

So do you need my address again to ship the RB this way/ Just let me know haha. Seriously though, gonna pick up an RB25DET this spring or sooner for the red 70' cause the rebuilt 2.6 is going back into the 260Z when it's all painted and done. Getting the fever again, just gotta finish up these other orders first, then off to work on the 260Z ALL winter long Dave

Maybe to a solid 91% now? Maybe 92%?

Specifics Tom, Who are you asking? My alarm installs are top notch and take twice as long as others, as I wrap everything and try to make all the wiring look as stock as possible. Dave

Too Funny, Arny's very own name on a process. To all who don't get it, if you ever have to re-skin your roof on your Z, It is hereby known as "Pulling an Arne" Great stuff, keep it going Henry. Dave

Could be both. My original 70' Z motor was real bad, Less that 120 per and #3 and #6 were the worst of them all with barely 90 in each. That's why I pulled it and replaced it with my already rebuilt 2.6 liter. The 2.4 will be rebuilt one of these days. Well, 3 out of 6 ain't too bad Dave

The MSD tach adaptor, whatever one is in the Picture below. Stock 1970 Tach. I think the Adaptor is the 8910. Dave

How do you always manage to miss out John? I gave all my brake parts to someone else here. Drums, lines, all that stuff. Sorry man

So the complete A/C unit is gone? Looks cleaner without it, for sure. I love that silver, looks clean. Dave

SR20 is a good motor but the classic lines of the L6 can't be beat. The RB25DET is What is going into my Red 70' as soon as the 260Z project is done. For you though, an L28 (2.8L) with Ztherapy SU's would rock that car down the road just fine, and with a smile on yer face.
