Interior light switches
I'm sorry for my ignorance but when did Nissan add door lights. Late 72-73? Mark, As Dave Try to find a dark colored wire (Black or any variation of Black) Black is your Positive Lead. Look for White or a light color wire. That'll be your Negative lead (natural) Green is Ground. That's how it works in Homes. A switch is only hot-hot, like an Auto Fuse Box. Do your best to find 2 wires. Then Trial and Error. -Brandon

Altenator not working right?
Well, now we know your alt is bad. Make sure you put your batt on charge if you have a charger to keep it hot. You might want to think about going with a GM upgrade. I think it's T120. search around there's a lot of info. Personally I use the stock Nissan replacements. I have no need for any extra power. -Brandon

r.i.p my z loving friend
260z BEAUTIFUL dog. From looking at the pictures you just cant stop from failing in love with her. DatsunZGuy, I Liked your bulldog as well. Looked like the kind who would jump in your face and lick you all over. Fortunately for me I have not ever lost a dog. They either ran away or got stolen. I personalty have Sadie a BIG Black female Lab. Loves the swamp.Jumps all over you. I don't think Labs ever get out of the puppy stage. Well that's it for now, Besets Luck -Brandon

Altenator not working right?
Probably your alt. It should always be a little over to the right. Yes, pulling the positive lead while the car is running will always work. Make sure you turn on your Headlights with the brights on. If you have dim lights and your engine is still running that's telling you that your alt is weak is probably will do great with a rebuild.

Fuse Boxes
Looks like the best way to go is use JB weld untill you have the money to poney up for MSA. I vote is as soon as MSA has the new ones I'll do my best to upgrade. -Brandon

Crash Test S30
First off the bat the door handles are different. No quater panel emblem. Looks like the passenger side and drivers side had different door handles. There's something funny about the rear end I cant put my finger on. Hmm maybe it's just me. -Brandon

Income poll...
The recession started in the tail end of B. C's term. Bush came in office and kinda made it worse. The tax cuts haven't helped at all either. -Brandon

side cover for a early seat bottom
It's rare for any American bound Z to have those shilds. My guess is the Z men of the 70's only knew about them. Along with the rool-cage we never got. -Brandon Lots of 240Zeds

Carbs Sat to long?
If you have the money and time do them both. If you depend on your Z every day do what you can the best you can. Remember You only have to rebuild them once, then just keep them in good shape. They'll last forever. You can buy original Nissan Rebuild kits off of e-bay. Maybe Nissan still carrie the pats.

Carbs Sat to long?
Have you tuned them? If they were kept in a plastic bad away from the elements everything should be OK. should still be new (or good working cond). You have to tune each crab separate. Get a MSA catalogue and buy a sync tool. -Brandon 70 71 240Z 95 4X4 HB(DD)

I cant stand my vehicles!
I fell ya. I choose to keep my Zeds at home locked up in the shop. I could never drive an early zed every day. I would be to paranoid of some idiot ramming me killing my Z. For now I have a 95 Nissan 4x4 X-cab with a 3" lift. Dreaming about the day I can buy a 350Z. Much much more to save. -Brandon 70 71 240Z

240 differences Q's
I can tell you enough to fill your head full of Znut stuff as long with most members on this site. I would start with www.zhome.com. For a newbie thetas the best place to start. Then use the search option here. There's a lot of great knowledgeable kind people here. Then go to Zcar.com and read about turbo Z's. This is the better active Zcar site on the web. Scribe to 240Z.org list (our club list) while your at Zhome scribe to what's know as the Zcar list and sit back watch and learn. Nothing more I cant think of. Start at www.zhome.com and work your way around. Since you've found us just search the site. -Brandon 70 71(3) 95 HB X-cab 4x4(daily Driver)

Vented or Not?
On an early Zed No vents. unless your running major power you should have the need for vents. I don't even think they help an Early Zed much -Brandon 70Z 71Z
