Datsun24072

The fuse is the right headlight, that fuse is just to control the switch and then it sends the power to the relays. The battery is the power source, yes it's a 72 and yes to the alternator. I'm going to be putting a new fuse block in today so I'll see if i can find the problem.

I have the plug and play harness in there, sorry I didn't really make that clear. I think that the harness is my problem but I'm not sure where to look. Maybe one of the relays went out? I forgot to mention that I have an L28 in the car, so I have the internally regulated alternator on there, I have a feeling the alternator is going out as well because sometimes the rpm drop is minimal like I said and then other times my car will just flat out die.

I apologize if this has already been talked about, I have searched for over an hour now with no luck. I put the H4 headlight upgrade kit in my car and it worked just fine for about a week, well I decided to go on a night drive and I stopped at the gas station when I came back out I started my car, turned the lights on and nothing. I checked my fuse and it had literally blown up, the glass had shattered. I replaced the fuse and they worked fine. The next day I checked all of my wiring and even pulled the connectors apart and put a little bit of solder on the ends of the connectors. That night I turned the lights on before I started the car and they didn't work again. I turned them off, started the car and turned the light switch on and they worked but only the brights. Besides the obvious problem of driving with brights all the time, the hi beam indicator is off and when I flip the Hi-Lo switch the blue light comes on but the lights turn on. Also when the lights are on the RPMs drop about 150-200. Any ideas? I really need to get this resolved ASAP, This is my only car.

Well it turns out it was just water in some part of the electrical system it started right up this morning first try and ran beautifully! I'm glad it was nothing else this is my daily driver right now because my truck is in the shop. sure takes a load off. but now i know that when I clean the engine bay I need to watch the electrical components.

My Z started doing the same thing today, I have a 72 240 with an L28 and 5 speed. I replaced all of my lines and got the gas tank acid bathed not too long ago. My fuel pressure is reading at about 30-35 PSI I tried using another AFM and that did not work. Tomorrow I will be checking to see if it is the ECU and I am also going to be getting new spark plugs. It could also just be the fact that I cleaned the engine bay today because I had oil leaking from the head and water got into my ignition box or coil and just needs to dry out! I sure hope thats what it is, I will let you know tomorrow ASAP!

I'm thinking that maybe its bumblebees great great grandpa

I got mine from BD I think there good but, don't use the glue that comes with it because the tube I got with the kit didn't stick very well.

Today I found a guy who has a turbo L28 motor I am thinking about getting it but, I don't know what to look for as far as damage and if its (all there). Also I need to what I should set my budget at for it, I have not seen any pictures or anything I hope to go check it out soon. Any help would be appreciated!

Really!! sounds like that would be interesting do you have any pictures of it??

Thanks bro I actually saw one of those in a magazine at the parts store the other day and now that I looked close I can see that hah.

I agree. I cant wait untill someone backs into me haha. And what is that white car in the backround next to the guy wearing all white's head?

Thank you psdenno And just to let you all know I did not know there was a benifit to the flares I just thought they where cosmetic so ease up.

Yeah ok, I guess your right. Thanks for the replies.

True but I'm sure he knows what he is doing where as I don't. And I haven't seen any other way to mount them so I am just going off of what I have seen.

http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=113064 This thread shows that you have to cut the fenders and drill holes and stuff. and I guess if I have to I will cut them but I really don't want to.

Hah the carbon fiber ones with the little holes around them

Ok so i have been thinking about puting fender flares on my car for a while now. I love the way they look but i dont want to trash my fenders. Is there any way you can put the flares on without having to cut them? Just in case, for whatever reason i dont like them anymore or i just want to do something different.

yes actually that is called a G-nose you can get them but they are rather expensive they are mostly found on jdm Z's i think there cool but others may dissagree.

I picked mine up for a grand it was running and virtually no rust interior wasnt that great though

I used carb and throttle body cleaner to clean it and white lithium grease on all the moving parts

I fixed it!!!!! thank you all for your help. Today I decided to take the whole mechanism out of the door(pain in the a**). what had happened is when I installed my new door handle I bent the rod all up and it was rubbing against the door plunger which would in turn not let the door lock. Also the parts where sticking because it was so dirty. But its all fixed now =]

Yeah I have I even replaced the door handle because it broke.I know everything is put together right too. I'm sure I'm closing the doors all the way lol. Whats really weird is the drivers side was like that to until one day I slammed it really hard because, I couldn't get it shut and it started working. ?!?! so confused on what to do. Everything is sprayed with WD-40

Ok so, I searched and nothing came up so I'm sorry if there is a post on this but, I am having problems with my passenger side door lock. I cant lock the door from the outside or from the inside. When I try to push down on the lock rod it won't go down it's like it's stuck in the unlocked position. I would greatly appreciate some help with this. I have run out of options.
