nwcubsman Posted December 29, 2005 Share #1 Posted December 29, 2005 Since Dave has stopped building his relay harness for the headlights, I'm wondering if anyone has picked this up. I asked for the plans but heard nothing. If anyone can provide the plans I could build. I have a dead light and would like to upgrade to halogen while I'm in there. Help please!!Bryan Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/18416-anybody-building-headlight-relay-harness/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted December 29, 2005 Share #2 Posted December 29, 2005 I think Victoria British has some. Not sure of the quality or anything. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/18416-anybody-building-headlight-relay-harness/#findComment-150465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted December 29, 2005 Share #3 Posted December 29, 2005 The Victoria harness has been pretty thoroughly dissed in an old thread, by people who bought it.I have been planning to look into making these later in the Spring. I thought I'd get my feet wet doing alternator upgrade adapters first. But I've got some diagrams that Dave did some time back, and with that and my knowledge (from doing this on non-Datsuns) I'm pretty sure that I can come up with something viable even without Dave's actual plans. I've even got a couple of ideas for some changes, for more reliability and easier installation. So I may yet get to this.But I've got to admit that as a person who enjoys wiring and electrical mods, but is also fussy about doing it clean and right, the hassle of finding suppliers for the OE style terminals and connectors has discouraged me. I'm not sure it's worth the headaches. But I haven't given up yet.

280~Master Posted December 29, 2005 Share #4 Posted December 29, 2005 I also would be interested in building these for people if I could find the plans. I would like to have better power out of my lights. If anyone has plans you could send them to me. I would like to take a look at them.

Arne Posted December 30, 2005 Share #5 Posted December 30, 2005 Part of the problem has always been that the necessary round connectors for the 280Z have not been available. Even when Dave was making them, they were for 240Z only.

montoya_fan01 Posted December 30, 2005 Share #7 Posted December 30, 2005 I emailed Dave (when he announced he was no longer making the harness) and expressed my interest in manufacturing them. Got no response. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/18416-anybody-building-headlight-relay-harness/#findComment-150474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
beandip Posted December 30, 2005 Share #8 Posted December 30, 2005 I did as well and offered to buy his old stock. I think escanlon has the drawings that Dave posted before he started to make the loom.

Zs-ondabrain Posted December 30, 2005 Share #9 Posted December 30, 2005 You'll have to forgive my lack of getting things done around here but if you had any idea of the crap that I've put up with this month, you'd understand.Here's what I got so far......and if anybody can tell me how to put a one page "word" document (7.73 MB)with pictures on here, I'll show you the "Figs." that the instructions refer to. The uploader only allows for 1 MB. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/18416-anybody-building-headlight-relay-harness/#findComment-150499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Enigma= Posted December 30, 2005 Share #10 Posted December 30, 2005 Dave, the file size of the Word doc is directly related to the file size in kilobytes or megabytes of the pics you inserted into the doc. To reduce the size of the Word doc you can resize the pics before inserting them, or possibly even save them in a more effecient format like .JPG if they're not already.And thanks for the file. I plan on getting to this as soon as I'm done with the suspension mods.

gogriz91 Posted December 30, 2005 Share #11 Posted December 30, 2005 I wonder if you couldn't email it to Mike the adminstrator and ask him to post it in the technical articles section?BTW I love the harness you made for me, it's literally a night and day improvement over what I had before.

I'll E-mail it to who-ever wants it or can get it onto this or any of the other same subject forums/threads.The page is just 10 pics of parts and techniques with the Fig # written above the picture, its in ''word'' format.Dave.
