I thought you liked S30's with triple carbs.

Do you mean or ?

I did not not realise that negative switching is used. I have now found this topic which discusses fitting relays to 260Z headlights;

I thought it looked a bit familiar. It's the same seller as in February by the way.

Glad to hear you sorted it out. What was the problem? You might want to check your new diagram by the way. It shows the high beam output from the original socket connected (yellow wire) to the ground connection (85) of the high beam relay. It also show the low beam output from the original socket connected (green wire) to the trigger connections (86) of both relays.

The first thing I would do is to disconnect the wires from the original/existing sockets – then check that both have good ground readings. I would then check for power from the low and high beam wires with the headlight switch on and selecting low, then high beam. Your diagram shows the ground pin of the original socket being connected to the 86 (trigger) pin of the low beam relay. Since you say that low beam is working, I assume that the low beam pin is connected to the relay? The diagram also shows that you have connected the ground pin of the existing socket to the high beam relay's coil ground pin, but the low beam's coil ground pin appears to use a separate ground point. You could try connecting the 85 pin of the high beam relay to a separate ground.

Nice result

You could contact George, he has L24-125911 which is from a 1973 240Z and wants to sell it. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/17021-l24-engine/?do=findComment&comment=202007

Hi Youhan - the control arm is normal - I just answered your question here; http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/17226-herbs-240z-0573-hs30-102298/?do=findComment&comment=204452

It's normal - the control arms are identical so one is mounted 'upside down' to suit. A quirky way to cut down on production costs.

Black interior, automatic transmission. I will be interested to see if Herb's (5/73) car is also 307 blue. From what I have seen, 307 was only available for very late 240Z's and then 260Z's.

Yea but.. My 9/73
