Administrators gav240z Posted July 12, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 12, 2020 Not sure this is an early assembly, but may be useful? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/184360607415 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Thanks gav, easy to miss this one as they listed it as a speedo? Do you know the difference between the 240 and 260 indicator switch? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted July 15, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 15, 2020 260z indicator stalks have a "flash" or "pass" button that flashes high beams. I think the loom plug may also be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The switching mechanism of the 260 is very different (simpler) to that of the 240 as AFAIK the 260 used an under dash relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilltech Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Quote 260z indicator stalks have a "flash" or "pass" button that flashes high beams. I think the loom plug may also be different. Some 260Zs missed out on the passing flasher button, possibly just the early ones as my early '74 didn't have it. There are several different loom/plug arrangements across the S30s so if you source a switch from a different year car it may not be plug'n'play. You haven't said what exactly is wrong with yours. The turn indicator switches do simply wear out over time, therefore are sought after as used parts. So you may just have to get one from whatever model S30 you can and match up the wiring to suit. Some owners have been able to recondition their switches, may be as simple as re-soldering on a wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Thanks guys, will just keep an eye out. One will come along eventually. I don't have the switch at all gill, car was not complete when I bought it. Now that I've started the resto, I'm noticing all the bits thats are missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilltech Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Ah OK. Good luck with your search then. I hope you have all the wiring loom to the steering column, and the headlamp switch which complements the indicator switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Thanks Gill, I've been working through different sections of the car at a time. I stripped down the dash, sent the gauges away for testing/repair, and waiting to find a big enough box to fit the dash into so I can send it to Melb Dash Doctor. I'm media blasting the old chrome off the heater control panel, but might just consider buying a reproduction from the US as someone had chopped out the bottom section to accomodate an aftermaket head unit. All the dash wiring is good, just like to remove old insulation tape and re-wrap with cloth insulation tape (anti-squeak). Just set up my zinc plating workstation in the garage (purchased from Jane kits) It's amazing how a middle aged man can get so exited about restoring bolts, brackets etc (wife rolls eyes) Edited July 19, 2020 by Dyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to install H4 halogen headlights in place of the sealed beam originals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Just going to keep the sealed beams at this stage. Car will rarely be driven at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
