Scottie-GNZ Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 OK guys, I tried searching but had issues. For those with an MSA front dam on an early 240Z, what did you do for turn signals? Details and pics would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Don't know exactally what you're asking. The 240 turn signals mount to the airdam like in this pic of my car.

EvilC Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I had to use bigger washers when I installed mine. The holes they precut for the turn signals were too big and the stud on either side would fall into the hole. I called them about it and they were asking me stupid questions...so I fixed it myself. What trouble are you having? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Oops. Sorry, I am referring to this dam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftover z Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 That airdam is for a 280Z, which has turn signals in the grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 That pic shows a 280Z but they are listed for 7-78 and says 70-74 require modification for turn signals. Just want to know what mods folks have done. I have seen them on 240Zs, just can't remember which members. One is a silver V8 with a low-profile hood scoop that has some mod done to put turn signals on the grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B00STDZ Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I love what I did with my turn signals... I purchased autolocs integrated clear turn signal headlights and used that as my turn signal... Is very bright and I am very happy with my purchase. Although I will say they require modification to fit in the stock headlight metal bucket mount. need to do some very minor cutting on the inside mount if i remember correctly, but you wont be able to tell even if you look up under the car...

Scottie-GNZ Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Are you referring to the round light down low in the air dam? Don't see any others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftover z Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Are you referring to the round light down low in the air dam? Don't see any others. The round lights in the air dam look like driving or fog lights. It looks like he has those headlights with the turn signal built in (look at the bottom of the headlight).

B00STDZ Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yup They are pretty much undetectable to the untrained eye, but yes they are fully functioning turn signals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftover z Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Very nice! I think the last batch of T-Birds have the turn signals built in to the headlights too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinzturbo Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 cool idea, i would personally get the "halo" style with the amber rings, and make the side markers blink too. just so cops dont give you trouble. im going to go with the regular ducted dam with no signal pockets...simplicity is my style! although im keeping the side markers.

Sparks280zt Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I ran an intercooler with mine, no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftover z Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hey Scottie, I just realized the front air dam you are looking for looks alot like mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globerunner513 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I don't think its quite as easy to swap over 280z turn signals onto a 240 is it? There are metal brackets that the housings screw into which are spot welded to the car. The grill itself doesn't really have any kind of mounting for the turn signals. Unless I'm mistaken?

Unless I'm mistaken? 280 grilles will not fit a 240, and vice versa. If it did, I'd put a 240 grille in my 280 so as to take care of my extra lights. The opening on 280's are bigger than a 240, and the mounting points and brackets are different. It would be easier to convert a 280 air dam/spoiler to accept 240 turn signals than converting a 240 to utilize a 280 grille & turn signals. I have researched this.

Globerunner513 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Thanks, thats what I thought. Always was a bit nervous of people suggesting "just use a 280z grill". Now I know (btw I have a 280z and will be using 240z signals with appropriate air dam) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know (btw I have a 280z and will be using 240z signals with appropriate air dam) That's exactly what I did, and I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
