Laecaon Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Rare, and spendy. And you need the light. Probably easier to retrofit something, and make your own light for somewhere else. I was thinking of adding a button there to turn on the dome light (despite the dome light having a switch to do that...) Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted December 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Driving home from the PnP friday evening i noticed my high beams weren't working, but i didn't think much of it. Then as it got darker i noticed my dash lights weren't working either. so i pulled over and checked my fuses and noticed the park lights fuse was out and the plastic had melted around the fuse. went to the parts store and got some new fuses and cleaned up the contacts with some sandpaper i had laying around. It's working fine now, but i think i want to get a new fusebox. so boys and girls, the moral of the story is clean your gadamn fuse box regularly if you don't want it to melt. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Did a little work on her today. -inspected rear brakes cause I started to hear a rubbing noise when braking. The culprit. Left side Blown wheel cylinder. Right side is just starting to leak. Ass shot -replaces speedo cable! Finally have a working speedo! Totally accurate too And some more shop pics Happy new year!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

510T Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 You just reminded me I blew a tail / brake light last week, pulled the fuse for inspection and forgot to replace it. HAHA I hate when people drive around without brake lights. Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 While waiting for 521 parts I did a little work on the 510. Cleaned fusebox with vinegar and metal brush. Before After And re-did the coolant reservoir. 1 Quote Link to comment
Datso72 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 got a new camera! nothing fancy just a sony point n shoot. but finally got a decent pic of the new steering wheel. and the old one for reference. random pic of my beat also, who knows what goes here? I assume it's a dome light switch? and if so, how difficult is it to find? My car has a "Fasten Seatbelt" indicator at this location. Sorry no pics at this time. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Yea I've seen the seatbelt light before. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Also added a ratsun sticker to cover some of the rust. Hopefully it stays on cause it didn't stick too good on some parts. Quote Link to comment
260zkaboom Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 You may need to check / PM with a forum member named Nicoya about that hole in that panel. He usually goes to the Eagle Rock swap meets he has dealt with that before. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 thanks. i PM'd him. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 so my rear brakes took a shit. The braked pedal only goes down half of what it used to now. strange part is the master still has fluid in the rear reservoir. could it be my master and not the wheel cylinders like a think?

skyblue Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Question, will a 240z brake master work on a stock 510? triple240z has one and my 510 master is on the ropes so we're just wondering if it will work. I've searched and searched and cant find an answer. I found a lot of info on 280zx brakes but nothing on 240z. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 on a side note, i found some old pics of my last 2dr and scanned them. this one got some water damage, but i thought it looked kinda cool oh and one of my other love Quote Link to comment

Ranman72 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 that missing switch is for a rare map light all the radio plates have the white lens for the light but very few ever got the light 240z masters work perfect on stock brakes this post might be to late for your questions Quote Link to comment
