I would say yes, if it's not sloppy -
I will double check that but I don't believe any of that has been changed since my last test fire. I did remove the combo switches and reinstall. Maybe I messed something up there

I'm using the 280zx matchbox. No ballast resistor on the car. I will check those other items when I'm back in the shop

So I don't know that I've made any progress yet this weekend. I went to test fire the car. It will crank but acts like it has no spark. I checked voltage at the coil in the run position and it doesn't have any voltage there. I ran a jumper wire from the battery to the hot terminal of the coil and when she turned the key on you could here what sounded like the starter solenoid getting pulled in. I still couldn't get it to fire up. The only upside is it is pumping fuel from the tank. Although a portion is all over the shop floor now... oh and I do have headlights until the one burned out but no high beam indicator Super frustrating

That's pretty cool! I had thought maybe the firewall was labeled before being included in the chassis but you're saying the chassis was complete and the fixture was mounted to the chassis and the ID number was applied then...

Called a "reaction disc"

@siteunseen Thanks Cliff. I didn't see it in those search results. Part of the problem is figuring out what the OP called that chrome squeegee strip... On another note. I'm all legal now! :)
-
Thanks Jim! Thanks for the input Garrett. I was using google exactly that way and couldn't find it...

I hate the modern search engine! Useless! Shows you it thinks you want instead of what you asked for... There is a thread on the forum, not an ancient thread, that shows how to replace the window sweeps on the the chrome door trim. I was going to reread it to see how he dealt with some issues I'm having but I can't find it now :( Can somebody help? Maybe the librarian?

I did a quick alignment on the front wheels today I mounted the air dam up to the car and test fit the turn signals I worked on the chrome trim sweeps for the door glass but I need some pictures of how they mount. Even with the rear of the door shell? Rubber trimmed inside of the chrome frame? I assume I will have to trim the rubber in place otherwise you might trim the front angle in the wrong place

How about making lens for other Datsuns?

I like stock cars but I also like modified cars. I like it when hybrid cars use a driveline from the same manufacturer. If I didn't have so many projects I would consider taking that one on...

The door latches I used Tail light chrome pieces. They weren't very flat. So I heated them slightly to reshape them. I did cause some wrinkling in the finish on the one that was pretty warped. I probably should have sent them back and exchanged them but for now it's fine Bought some washer to hold the trims on Installed Some butyl to hold the lens in The center post of the chrome is supposed to be long enough to go all the way through the back and get another star washer. The posts on my repops aren't long enough for that. So hopefully the lens don't fall out Felts for the bottom lens drains Shop dog More Belmetric Lights in place Finishers Badges, because everyone knows badges make cars run better!! ;)

Yeah, I like that Turbo 930
-
So factory operation of the JDM tail light?? Reverse is reverse Turn signal is turn signal and flashers Both upper red lamps are parking lights? Only one upper red lamp is brake light? Maybe the outboard one?
-
My suspicion is the lighter plate is for the very early cars. The later iterations were heavier
-
Can anyone post up a JDM or Euro version of the wiring diagram for the tail lights to identify wire colors? @kats @jonbill @HS30-H
-
I do not believe that information is available. The Marti report came about when Ford was going to dispose of all the build sheets from that era. Somebody aquired them and saved them. When you get a marti report they are finding the proper build sheet and providing the info, for a fee. IIRC
-
Yes, which strut is that? Front or rear? In the front is a bearing about 40mm OD in the rear is a hard rubber disc with the same dimensions
-
Yeah, I wondered if you had. I don't spend much time there

If it were mine, I would call Rich... @motorman7
