Atlanta area Z owners: The first C & O of the year is just around the corner. Shopping is done. The presents have been opened. You made your returns. You have to work on January 6. Show up on January 5. Yes, it's early. It will probably still be dark when you get to the show if you want to park with the rest of us. Yes, it will probably be cold. Who cares? It's a great event. Period. End. Get directions at Caffeine and Octane Atlanta's Best Car Show If you get to the main lot before 7:30AM, there's a good chance I'll still have a spot for you.

Not mine, nor have I inspected it. 1972 Datsun 240z

Are you referring to a heater control panel like this: Heater control Panel for Datsun 240Z | DATSUN 240z | JDM CAR PARTS

Fender badges are still available through Nissan. 63805-E4601 for the badge & 63845-18000 for the clips (2 per badge). The tailgate 240Z badge is 90807-E4625 or 90807-E4602. The tailgate Datsun is 90806-E4601. Most of the tailgate badges are plastic anymore. I found a metal one in great shape on eBay sold by Emblems - Badges, Datsun 510 610 710 810 910 items in ukstar76 store on eBay!. He also has a couple of hardcopy parts manuals (handy for looking up parts to order from Nissan).

I don't think I would re-use a 40 year old spindle pin.

I'm sure if something were wrong with Mr. K, Mad Mike or someone else would have let us know.

Chas, it seems to fit well. It didn't seem to be touching the lens at all.

I think Carl has a good collection of information: General Discussion - Buying A Z Car: What To Watch For When Buying A Z Car Common Rust Area's Of The 240-Z Collectable, Classic, and Special Interest Z Cars; A Buyers Guide

Okay, I looked at mine. It's a BA9 base. I have a 9 LED bulb. I believe it is this one: BA9s LED Bulb - 9 LED Tower | BA15 Bayonet Base Bulbs | Boat/RV/Other LED Replacement Bulbs | Boat, RV, and Other Lighting | Super Bright LEDs. IMHO it does a good job of lighting up. Pictures never seem to do a light justice. The attached picture was taken with no other lights on in the garage.

I'll take a look in the next day or so about which LED bulb I installed in my inspection light.

You could get an LED light like this. It's a little pricey, but it'll probably be the last time you buy a bulb. They put out pretty good light, and if you forget to turn it off, it will take a long time before it runs down your battery.

Dang, you're about two years too late. Z Barn was in your neck of the woods. Unfortunately Roger sold his business. I don't know if the buyer set up shop, either. What year Z do you have? Did you break the tabs off the switch cover?

Just wait. I'm trying to see if I can get my CAD skills sharp enough to modify Wayne's 280Z wiring diagram for the 260Z.

There is a reason I said to look at Pete's posts. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/electrical-s30/40600-sold-leds.html

Exactly. Use the Report button, the little triangle on the lower left of the post, to report the post as spam.

Also look at Pete Thomas' posts in the Sold on LEDs thread here. He added electronic flashers to his Z. I believe he used Tridon EP34s.

Jan, just to be clear, even in the Atlanta area, there are no smog checks on vehicles more than 25 years old. Six years ago, I did not have any issues with getting a Georgia title on my 73. I bought the 74 here, and I had no issues with getting the Georgia title transferred into my name. HSR puts on some nice vintage racing events at Road Atlanta and in the Savannah area. Some guys came up to Carrollton from Savannah for Z Nationals, too. The Z club in the Savannah area seems pretty active. They hosted the national convention in 2010. Good luck with your move.

My lovely wife bought some 16x7 Konig Rewinds for me.

Fuses limit current. Your voltage was out of spec since you weren't properly regulating the voltage. Make sure your charging system is working properly before installing any more electronics.

Oh, so you're replacing the whole switch? You can replace just the back portion. It's not to difficult to test to see if it's not working right, provided you know how to use an ohmmeter. Anyway, if it is number 2, I guess you'll learn how to put in a diode.

For the filler hose, get it from a Nissan dealer. I don't have the part number handy, but it's still in the system. Some of the vent hoses are NLA. You'll need some fuel/oil grade hose to replace those. Look at my website on Z cars to find a bunch of helpful links.

Thank you for the clarification. From your description, I would suspect one of two things is happening. 1. The switch on the back of your ignition switch is going bad. 2. You are getting feedback through the ballast resistor that is going through the ignition switch. The fixes for each would be 1. Replace the igntion switch. 2. Put a diode on the Black/Blue wire to prevent it from feeding back. How good are you with an electrical meter? I can tell you how to test.

What exactly did you jumper, and where did you get your guidance? Really, you only need to jumper the emergency switch under the hood.

Saw it. Threw up in my mouth.:sick:

I sent a PM to Joe Travis (GeoJoe). He can put you in touch with John Williams. I'm guessing John has several.
