  1. Is there a shop in AU specializing in older RHD Z car parts? Especially OEM Nissan parts! Thanks! Kerrigan USA
  2. I need to find a pair of windshield wiper arms for the 1971 FairladyZ RHD in good condition, silver color. Can anyone "down under" help? Thank you!! Kerrigan Gray American Cousin Portland, Oregon
  3. 1971 Fairlady Z/L was running great. Parked it in the garage for two weeks and now it won't start. No fuel getting to the carbs. I can suck fuel up to the filter from the tank manually but it goes no further. Getting no fuel pressure at the carbs I replaced both the filter and the fuel pump. Tank full of fresh fuel. Can't figure out what is wrong ... any suggestions what to look for now? Could it be the round cam device bolted to the front of the camshaft, could it have lost it's grip and isn't turning? Guess I'd have to pull the valve cover to see that part ... Help please!!
  4. The 1971 FairladyZ-L for a while would occasionally just make a single "click" relay-type sound somewhere under the dash when I turned the key to "Start" and the starter didn't do anything. I would turn the key off, and then try again sometimes with the same result. Usually it would work the second or third time and the starter would engage. We replaced the starter, the switch on the end of the ignition tumbler, and checked the battery. All those checked out okay. When it just made the click there wouldn't be any electricity at the starter solenoid b/y wire where it connected to the solenoid tab. I jumped from the battery to the solenoid and the starter worked. The wiring diagrams I have don't show anything between the ignition switch and the starter solenoid except for a lock-out on a car with an automatic tranny; we have a factory 5-speed manual transmission. Something under the dash makes the "click" sound when I try to start the car with the key. What I should be looking for causing the problem of no electricity from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid? Thank you.
  5. Newly joined, we have a 1971 FairladyZ-L mostly restored which won Best of Class in the Portland Roadster Show in 2008 ... after years of work. Glad to find this group. Anyone else have FairladyZ?
