Nah man I don't actually live in Alabama.

I have an 87 300zx. I know that you need Dexron atf for the power steering. My dad has some factory Dex 6 left over. I'm wondering if that would work for the pump without screwing it up.

So i discovered the problem. The headlight switch itself its busted. I did some research and found that this is actually a common problem for z31s.

So a weird thing has happened with my 1987 Nissan 300zx. Sometimes the headlights won't work properly. The drivers headlight works fine. The passenger headlights and the fog lights now go off and on randomly. The fog light switch indicator also turns off and on. Its so weird. The flip ups work perfectly. Its just that the passenger headlight and fog lights just don't come on most of the time. This is a really irritating problem. Note that the bulbs are not burned out. Its just that the passenger side headlight and the fog lights won't turn on all the time anymore. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't and sometimes they flash on and off like a disco. I could use any help.

its a 1987 n/a 300zx. It has 160000km on it. This was a one owner vehicle. The owner bought it from Edmonton in may of 1987. He babied this car well always taking it to the dealership for service. It has had the suspension timing belt and clutch changed all at 100000km. In fact the last time he serviced it was in November of 2015 when he took it to the dealership and had the entire fuel system changed because old gas sat in the tank. Its a great car but it isn't perfect. The issues it has are minor though. The headliner is falling out from the back. Rear windshield wiper sprayer doesn't want to spray. The radio antenna's gear is stripped so it won't go up anymore. (Previous owner gave me the parts to fix it) and the temperature gauge is out on the digital dash. That's all the issues it has. There is no rust on this car which is quite a shock as this is Calgary. This car cost me 2000$ CAD which i think is a good deal. I've already posted on the forum and got some wonderful responses so I am excited to be a part of the classic z community.

Thanks everyone for the help. Im sure it is the overflow tank.

My z is a naturally aspirated. This is a pic I ripped of google cause I work now. The reservoir is the same as my z. It doesn't look like its connected to the rad so I can't tell if its the radiator overflow reservoir or not. But I was confused it was empty. I will definitely post some pics tommorow.

Just bought a 1987 Nissan 300zx n/a. I love and its a well preserved car. I did some maintenance work on it and discovered this empty reservoir. I thought it might be windshield washer fluid but the car already has 2 reservoirs. (Headlight and main) I have a picture pointing to the reservoir (not my engine Google helped me as I'm working). I hoping someone can help this noobie out
