Note that both the circuits for the hazard lights and brake lights/turn signals go through the hazard switch. You may have fixed one problem while creating another. Look at this and perform continuity checks: https://fiddlingwithzcars.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/early-hazard-switch/

I don't think you're in the minority right now. Hang in there and reach out to your fellow Z people as needed.

Tell him to get rid of the downdrafts. Get a set of SUs and do a Patton Machine fuel injection. The 260Z is pretty much ideal for that conversion.

September 2020 in Nashville would be nice...I know I'm hoping for that target.

It's not rocket surgery. Use the toilet model again. If you bend the arm down, it cuts off sooner. Why? Because it is indicating that it is full even though the water is not as high as it was when the arm was straight. If you bend the arm up, it fills up more because the float isn't being lifted up as soon to indicate it's full. Heck, if you bend it up enough, it won't cut off because the water will go down the overflow since the arm won't go high enough to activate the cutoff. So if the gauge is reading empty at 9 gallons, the float on the sending unit is higher than it should be (or there is some other problem that we don't know about).

Don't look at me. I just post here...

So @kats, does the car look legitimate? I know better than to guess anything about a 432 or 432R.

No. I am saying "bend the arm down". If that happens to straighten the arm, that is coincidence. The point at which you attempt to bend is entirely up to you.

If you bend the arm down, it will register E later.

I have to agree with Guy.

I have been in contact with him away from this site. He is alive and well.

Lee Harvey, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. If the two of us together, forget it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083131/quotes/?tab=qt&ref_=tt_trv_qu

And you know you love it, too. ?

I was mentioning the lack of a hood bulge to my wife, too. It would probably be nice to have the bulge to accommodate a large plenum when people start modify, too.

It would not surprise me to see a lot of the mechanical aspects from the 370Z. It costs a lot of money to develop a platform, and it's difficult to make a business case for a low volume car these days. However, from what I can see from the video, they did blend in some good lines inspired by the original S30. Very doubtful that you will see a straight 6 from Nissan. The Nissan engineers see a lot of advantages to the V6: compact packaging that gives a better front/rear weight distribution and better aerodynamics (can have a lower nose), less flex in the camshafts (That came from a question I asked at ZCON 2018), etc. Plus, with Nissan being strapped for cash, where would the straight 6 come from? I just hope there is no temptation for an I-4 version with or without turbo. (Does anybody remember the 99 concept?)

IF, and that's a somewhat medium sized to big "if", I was to get either a 400Z or Supra for a daily driver, a huge factor would be the ability to let me go back to my luddite ways and stir my own gearbox and use a 3rd pedal. Given that the Supra only comes with a slush box (not sure whether or not it has flappy paddles), I am counting on the 400Z, provided I like the overall package. *Sigh* I may have to settle on flappy paddles eventually.

It's probably on essentially the same platform as the 370Z. After all, where is the cash to develop a low volume platform? Given that, I would expect the dimensions to be similar to the 370Z. I love the roofline on the new car in the video.

How about a video from Nissan?

A working defroster isn't dependent upon the indicating light. CO has identified that the OP has crossed connected things that were designed not to be cross connected. As Egon said, "Don't cross the streams."

Actually, you weren't "half wrong." There isn't a timer, so you are only 1/4 wrong. ? Of course, if the OP could RTFSM, he would discover that there is absolutely no mention of a timer in that circuit. He could even discover how the circuit is wired from the simple break-out included. Perhaps simple reading comprehension is of more use than Roget's.

An earlier conversation here on black pearl:

Your description sounds familiar. Yes, there is a spring that will wear out and make it where the door locks as soon as it is shut. I replaced the spring in a driver's side door lock many years ago to stop that problem.

In these days of YouTube videos, could you get someone to record a YouTube video of you working the lock and post a link here? For myself, I'm a visual person, so it would help me (and perhaps others) understand your problem better.

I was thinking it might be a black pearl, too, especially with the pin stripes.
