That's a party I should have participated in. I'm going to do a labor swap sometime this spring or summer. A friend will replace my rear bearings while I wire up his Z with relays and LED headlights. Frankly, I think I'm getting the better end of the deal. Of course, I'll probably also be grilling after we are done, so that does even it up some.

Wow. Grease and a hydraulic press. Dang, Capt. You sure do know how to throw a wild party.

Have you tried going through the troubleshooting section of the FSM?

It's a 73.

Meet the people who made the Z a winner right out of the starting gate. BRE legends John Morton and Peter Brock are coming to ZCON. Go to http://zcon.org/conventions/2018/?page_id=132 to find the registration link.

I think the dome screws will interchange. I seem to remember scavenging screws from my collection of flat top carburetors when I swapped over to the early carburetors.

McMaster Carr does carry Aluminum BSPT plugs.

Do you know how to use a multimeter? It would be good to know if you have continuity between that green/blue wire and the contact that is missing a wire.

You could search for Nissan FAST in Google. Some people may have uploaded it (possibly an older version) on some file sharing sites.

Good diagnostics. Carpartsmanual.com lists 24023-N4200 and 24023-N4201 as comparable parts. The first part number is 75-07 and before build dates, and the second part number is for build dates of 75-08 and later.

Funny, the link is good for me. Heck, I can still get to the service manuals, too. Here's the google search that I used to find the link I posted. https://www.google.com/search?q=350z+parts+manual&oq=350Z+parts+manual&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j0l2.4167j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 It was the 8th hit on that search. EDIT: I didn't realize you got the message when you tried to download something. I'm glad I grabbed the Z manuals when I did.

This is the closest I could find with a quick search: https://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/nissan-350z-parts.html There is also FAST: https://diyservicemanuals.com/nissan-spare-parts-catalog/

Shoot me a reminder on Friday so I can give you a more detailed breakdown on what you should do.

You nailed it. See, it's not that hard to figure things out.

Nicely done.

You are definitely missing a wire. My $0.02: The wire for the running lights came off of the contact on the switch. The PO starting hacking wires because he didn't know how to fix it properly.

When you turn on the hazard lights, the switch opens up the circuit that goes to the brake switch, and it opens up the circuit that goes to the turn signal flasher relay. If the hazard switch was affecting the brake lights, it would affect BOTH brake lights. https://fiddlingwithzcars.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/early-hazard-switch/

The FSM has a lot of good information in the BE section once you learn how to use it. For the wiring diagram, it's best to start at one point, such as the switch) and carefully follow the line to the other point, like the light bulb or fuse box. In reality, the wiring is broken down by the engine harness, dash harness, and body harness. The FSM shows the connections between the harnesses and what wire color should be at what point in the connector. You may have to pull the dash and examine the dash harness closely to get rid of the mistakes of the previous owner.

We were all amateurs at one time. Consider this the motivation to improve your skills.

I forgot that the 73 also had the 9 pin connector. It's time for you to develop a lot of proficiency in reading wiring diagrams and fixing wiring. Vintage Connections (http://www.vintageconnections.com) has most of the connectors you will need and good extracting tools to remove connectors from the shells.

I admit that I ran a drill through some of the holes to make them compatible with the Ford fender rivets. The change in size is very small.

It's the turn signal switch. https://fiddlingwithzcars.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/hazard-switch-brake-light-turn-signal-circuit-analysis/ https://fiddlingwithzcars.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/turn-signal-repair/ You can contact @Zs-ondabrain about cleaning/repairing it. His turnaround time is a LOT faster than mine, and he's on the same side of the country as you are.

It's a 74-76 switch. The green/white wire is for the running lights. All I can say is, "Ugh! Wire nuts!" @krZing, you have a mess on your hands.
