Re: The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread-take 2
nismou20, thank you.
Next question, is there a way to really tighten the studs that hold the front turn signals to the fender? Or is there a better way to attach them?
One one on the driver's side rattles pretty good.

Re: The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread-take 2
There's a rubber or hard plastic piece that the glove box door arm slides in.
- How do you remove it? If rubber, mine has hardened so it doesn't compress nor can I get anything under the edge.
- Anyone found a replacement?

Never mind. Five seconds after posting, the answer came: Heat gun! Gently warmed, and I was able to pry it out.ppeters914 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 27, 2018 8:07 pm There's a rubber or hard plastic piece that the glove box door arm slides in.

Re: The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread-take 2
Hoping for a quick but accurate weight of a full rear quarter panel please. It is well over 135 degrees in my walk up attic and I really do not want to drag a scale up there, uncrate one and then weigh it.

Re: The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread-take 2
My ignition switch on my 67.5 had an issue so I purchased a 280zx ignition switch that I’ll install once I get it. But one of the connector wires got fried so I’m looking to replace it too. Anyone know what I should do? Do I need to buy a new harness that works for the 280zx?
Here are pics of my original switch...

Re: The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread-take 2
If I'm not mistaken that is the starter motor solenoid wire.
I would just cut the old damaged connector off and re-crimp a new one.
The remainder of the wire looks OK from here.
One thing you can do to prevent a repeat of that wire overheating is to fit a START relay.
The ignition switch connects voltage to that wire when the switch is in the START position.
Add a relay to the feed so that the ignition switch operates the relay [low current circuit] and the relay energises the starter solenoid [high current circuit].
That will save the ignition switch contacts from abuse and put all the hard work on the relay contacts

Re: The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread-take 2
Ok great thanks. I’ll look into the START relay too. I’m not sure what type of wiring was done before me so I’ll have to check it all.Nissanman wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 10:15 pm If I'm not mistaken that is the starter motor solenoid wire.

The terminal on the starter wire is a GM Delphi Packard 56 series female blade. I have some but won't be home for another week from Japan. I buy the ones for 14-12 gauge wire.
66 stroker, almost done.

Re: The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread-take 2
Great thanks! I found a “kit†online that comes with a lot of pieces and sizes. I think I’ll just go with that just in case I need to fix more in the future. Thanks for the help.

Re: The Quick/Small/(Stupid?) Question Thread-take 2
They should be crimped with an open barrel crimper. You have a choice of buying on one from Vintage Connections/Spark Moto or somewhere else. You can use a crimper with mulriple sizes on each part. I would put just a dab of solder on in that case.

LHS of the engine bay between the washer reservoir and the air cleaner.
It is a 4 terminal can: the 3 terminal can above it is the horn relay
