  1. Hey Guys,

     

    I am hoping someone can help me out with this question.

     

    I was removing my fan clutch from my 78' 280z and one of the 4 flange nuts that attach the fan clutch to the water pump pulley fell and is deemed forever missing. I'd like to order genuine Nissan replacement flange nuts but I just need to know which size. They are either 5mm or 6mm. I tried measuring the opening of the flange nut but it is difficult to say for sure.

     

    Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

  2. Had a similar problem when the car came out of the body shop after an accident. Blowing fuses. Turned out the body shop guy got over spray on the wiring for the side marker lights on one side. When the car was re-assemble for the last time, he reversed the ground and power leads to the light.

     

    Since the Datsun lighting systems include both a wire ground AND a chassis ground loop, reversing the leads at the light put the power lead to the chassis ground popping the fuse. 

    This was the same problem with my car.  I noticed overspray on the wiring of the side marker light on one side. 

  3. I have been suffereing from this exact same issue for weeks now and finally tried unscrewing all my side markers, pulling out the bulbs and making sure to pull out and clean up all wires connected to the sockets (especially the rears).  Apparently there is a ground issue with one of the wires touching something it's not supposed to.  All I needed to do was make sure to clean up the wires and keep the wires away from touching the body.  Re-insert the 4 bulbs and turn on your lights before screwing everything back on.  If it doesn't work immediately, try wiggling each of the wires and reorganizing them. 

     

    Let me know if that works.  My dash and tail lights came back on instantly after doing this.
