New World Datsuns...

lol. I can understand from the point of view, that he didn't want to fuck wit hthe stock wiring. But really.. wrapping a melted wire? Fuck man :\

Yeah man I understand not wanting to cut the harness but when shit is melted its time to replace wires. So I'm wondering what else is melted....

Hey Kevin,

I just went thru what you did tonight. Only with my IGN wiring..... Fucking previous owners using speaker wire twisted to car wire with nothing but some tape... Dafuq.

I'm not the most savvy when it comes to electrical stuff but shit I know to use proper connections.

"I'll just twist these, tape it and call it good"
No!

With what's happening to my truck in the future I'd love to rewire ever
Thing, if I can I will but for now I think I'll un tape my harness and make sure there isn't more
Wires like the three I found. Melted and taped together..

Lame you had to deal with the same kinda thing. I at first thought my problem was my IGN switch
So I replaced it. However that wasn't my problem.

So today I stopped by the junk yard. Was looking for a 520 drive line but decided not to get the one
That was there, do to the fact it looked bent and was bet to shit. So I pick up the dash wiring harnes plus swicths so blinkers and gauge cluster from the 520 instead of not getting anything cuz I like buying Datsun stuff!

I picked up the cluster even though I already have two, however those are 521 clusters. Orange is a great color and I wanted to make this one look pretty again. I'll post pictures soon.

Spare parts is good parts,nothing better than having your own stash,if/when you need it yo have it

Did you get the 520 metal dash top?

I've had the whole 520 baby blue dash for a while now. I didn't want to touch it tell I got over to Olympia so jrock can do something sweet with it! Plus when i got the 520 dash I already had done made my new suede 521 dash so I didn't really need it. Ha I only bought the dash because I seen that someone had came to the same junkyard as I and took the one taillight from the 521 there in the yard so I figured if he/she was taking taillights then I don't want him taking this cherry 520 dash. So i did! Picked it up for 50 buck. The cluster and wiring harness plus red knob/switch, white heater knob blinker switch cost me 65 I'm fine with that. Next to see is if the 83 zx is a auto or not also 4x4 leafs and d21 ka oil pan and pickup. Lots of other little things to grab before I move to Olympia.

I was on their site today and I couldnt find the right bulbs. But I suck at computers some times..

Good on you, Kevin.

I wish I had known you were going to the yards.

I was driving around just to drive and just ended up there.

what do you think you need?

I'll tell ya when I see ya. Not stressed on it right now.

I was looking for this for a day now. Photobucket didn't put it in my album.

This is my hazard switch.



And the new


Just so people know.. I did not wrap the two wires in tape!!

yay!!! Good job mang.

Everything work yet?

Yes! Everything does work!

Now let's hope I don't have another dumb ass wire somewhere else.

Bad ground to tail lights. lulz.

I'm going to be fixing all my rear end wiring. Things aren't pretty under there. One problem is one of my bulbs wires aren't long and connections are basically touching the housing of the lightbulb.
And that one bulb has three wires at its end, one is a ground that is also connected to my blinkers. So yes a bad ground could be the problem. Three wire connection on one blub??
