Thanks everyone for you help. Particularly Kirby. You hit the nail on the head and its all sorted out. Thanks again everyone

That sounds like a winner, I might give that a one a go Funny you should mention the coils. The bloke I had originally purchased the car from about a year ago had just replaced the coils. Might be interesting to give him a call and find out the symptoms that he had with the car

Yeah it was the wire going directly to the car body. It was over a period of about 5-6 weeks. As soon as you turned the car on you could notice the power dissipating over a couple of minutes. If you then went on to remove the key and then re insert it it would follow the same pattern. I have talked to a couple of people about it but the only suggestion they gave was possible problems in the high or low tension circuits.... I'm clueless. :?

Hello, I'm having some trouble with with my 260z electrics. I noticed that the power was gradually leaving the car each time I tried to start it until eventually the car wouldn't start. The starter motor just didn't have enough guts to turn over the engine. I tried to jumpstart her and it fried the earthing wire. As time went on the power in the car continued to dissipate until not even the internal lights could operate. Towards the very end the car began making a hum within the cockpit and the noise appeared to be coming from the multitude of wires above the fuse box. The battery is fully charge and the power is reaching the engine too. Does anybody have any idea what might be the problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated
