import custom charges
Same story here. Ebay is starting to do this, it never did before. I also insist on USPS for delivery. Never pay import duties to the expediter.

Daves Possible Parking light FIX
hey guys, Thank you for the reply. Dave, the kit did came with the instruction thank you for the offer. My car is an early 260z therefore I have the oval connectors so I would have to hardwire it. It has the 9 pin connector. As for the alt adapter, I dont need it. I just recently changed my Alt and my car came originally with an electric fuel pump. I removed it a few years ago when I converted to 240 carbs and installed a mechanical pump at the head. Although I think I still have a couple of fuel pump relays still connected. Iam still trying to figure out this "false plug", Iam a visual guy. As for how much I paid, $60. The guy was out of the datsun scene so I guess he was liquidating. Cheers,

Hi Dave, I bought a box full of parts from ebay and I found this inside. I think this is your relay kit. Can you tell me exactly whats what or if there is anything missing? Regards,

If I remember from an old magasine, you only cut the wheel arch. Make sure first before you start disecting. I need to find that magasine.

I was assuming, but apparently there is not a relay for the starter. I just ordered a starter relay and waiting for it. Also I was told that my electric fuel pump (which I removed 20yrs ago) has a relay that is always on and causes also battery drain. I'am going to unplug it put the battery back on charge and take it from there.

update; I check the battery after being on the charger for almost 48hrs, put the volt meter to it and got 12.6v. tried to start with key but not enough juice to turn engine. Also, I used the remote starter and same result. I will get a new battery tomorrow and a starter relay and hopefully everything will be fine. Thank you everybody for your input.

I have a few relays on the passenger side, inside the car. I know the starter has one the wipers has one, the horn and others. They are factory installed. So since I might install an aftermarket relay for my starting problem I was not sure if having two relays for the same function is a good idea.

hey guys, Iam sitting here thinking about my problem. I saw the relay kit on ebay and I was wondering about the factory installed starter relay. If I install that relay from ebay do I have to disconnect the starter relay? Could it be that the factory installed relay is defective? Datsun 240Z Z 280z 510 620 Starter Relay Upgrade Kit | eBay

Hi guys, Iam done for the night now. Iam suspecting a defective battery or the ignition switch like you said. The battery is two years old, when connected to the volt metter it reads 12.3v when engine off and 12.7 to 13.0v when engine running. When I try to start the car with the key the voltage drops to 5.5v to 7.0v and it does not start. Also tomorrow I will clean the spade connector, its covered in green mould, and take it from there. Right now I put the battery on a charger and will leave it on for 24hrs. I will look up this relay fix, thks Zed Head.

ok, I figured out which wire. I used a hand held remote starter instead of a wire like you said, is that ok? With the remote the engine turn pretty good. Therefore I will apply step two of your explanation and clean the spade connector and take from there. Will let you know. thank you very much,

hi, thank you for the reply. There are three wires with spade connectors connected at the solenoid. One come out of the starter body and connects to the solenoid and the other from the solenoid, both are connected to the same pole on the solenoid. On the positive side there is the fat cable that goes to the + battery terminal and two small ones from the car harness both on the same pole except one, it has its own place on the solenoid. Which one is the key start wire? thank again,

Hi Guys, My car would not start after running a few hours, I hear that click sound from the starter. I changed the starter solenoid switch, I replaced the alt recently I check all the lights sockets and fixed the wires that looked frail ect. I used the multimeter to check voltage and everything is ok, its charging while running, the battery holds charge while engine off. But I still experience the sudden lack of electrical power to start the engine, Iam always boosting or push start. Once the car starts all light work and everything is bright. Now, the other day while I was checking for other possible loose wire I tried to start the car and I heard the clicking sound again but I thought I saw a puff of smoke coming from the distributor area. Could that be were the electrical drain comes from? I don't want to buy anymore parts that probably did not cause the clicking sound and sudden voltage drain. Any advice? Thanks,
