  1. Havent checked this yet. Ill need to crank the engine and start the Air conditioner. I will revert.
  2. What about removing the water passages to see if there is any built up inside? I really prefer keeping the new fan clutch we recently installed instead of going with the dual electric fan configuration. Car only runs into heat issues during stop-and-go traffic jams after 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Aftermarket! Paid 330usd
  4. Recenttly bought a license lamp assembly for my 1972 240z. Its working fine but doesnt seem to cover or fit perfectly together with the other parts. Im i missing something?
  5. I just bought this cheap chinese fan for the condenser locally in Panama. Ill follow your recomendation.
  6. Unfortunately no. We will be opening the water passages in the block to see if it solves
  7. Thanks Yarb. We bought a cheap chinese 50usd fan for the AC. Its 14 inches. I need at least 12 inch powerfull fan to ventilate the engine bay and avoid issues during traffic and high tropical humid weather.
  8. Thanks so much Yarb. I believe i can get a bigger one such as this one to keep the engine bay cooler: https://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/fans-electric/pusher/yes?kr=Fans%2c+Electric&N=brand%3aderale-cooling-products Any thoughts?
  9. Im still concerned as i bought this car used in 2014 and just replaced the water pump. Now that i have an AC installed the car generates more heat and is indeed causing heat issues during traffic. I told the mechanic to pull the Champion 3 row radiator out, flush it and check the water pump. We need to get the heat out of that bay. It has a brand new fan clutch and i wouldnt like to spend money or time swapping to electric fan. Asides it is safer to rely on the fan clutch than a failing electric fan.
  10. Well im.having this exact problem and still wondering if i should replace the new fan clutch with an electric fan to avoid the temp gauge reaching 3/4 and my car engine hesitating after 15 mins of traffic. I have a champion 3 row radiator. Should i replace it also?
  11. This is what i have and needs to be serviced! Please advise!
  12. Id like to change the brake shoes on my rear wheels any recommended brand? Shoulf i buy the complete kit with springs?
  13. Just received this replica of the original lamp. Hope the wires in the car reach the femal and male plugs of this lamp. Why did the manufacturer glued the sockets with silicone?
  14. Looking to replace my old worn license plate lamp on my 72 240z. Any pros and cons on the new repro? https://share.google/JYmCApNhdtEwbOrTC
  15. which of these suppliers is preferable? Better quality and more varied kits for my 1972 240Z? https://www.vintageconnections.com/ or https://240z.life/product/datsun-240z-body-electrical-harness-rebuild-kit-oe-style-connectors/
  16. well id got the problem solved and both flashers and turn signal lights are working. Dirty contact under the dashboard, passenger side, where the hazard flasher relay is connected. dirty terminals which will need some tightening and cleaning. Thanks everyone for your input!
  17. How do i remove the hazard switch? All tail lights left and right are working. Rear Blinkers and left rear turn signal light are dead!
  18. Of course! I just wanted to solve this faster without getting into the wiring diagram! Its really weird that lneither the hazard swich or the ts switch can make the left rear blinker work.
  19. Reverse lights on both left and right work. Right tail light works perfectly. Problem is only on the blinkers and stop light on the left tail light.
  20. Thanks for your input! Ill check on that. The weird thing is that even with the hazard switch on only the right tail light blink. The left tail light does not blink either with the hazard switch or the turn signal to the left. All other front and dash light work perfectly. Where do i check?
  21. The left rear blinker and stop light is not working either with the turn signal switch or the hazard switch. I already replaced the burned bulb and still the same. Should i remove and open the turn signal switch for cleaning its innards or could the problem be something else?
