Nice! Remindes me of the old 70's Mercury Cougars.
Re: My new Tail lights!!! (datsunboy)
interesting. Is that something that those tail lights do on their own? or did you have to do some work?
I haven't seen any one using those lights around my area so I never know what (other than looks) was so diffrent about them. Look cool tho.

na.the factory coupe tail lights flash a bit different....the whole thing will flash ( all 3 bulbs at once ).
To get them to do this, you have to get a "sequential relay" which is a factory optional part from nissan back in the 70's.so some coupes may have come factory with them, but most wont have.

ah, good to know. I wouldn't mind getting something like that.
Have any pictures on what the relay looks like or how to identify it?

heres the pic of the one I seen on Yahoo Japan. note the Nissan box, and new rear loom that came with the unit factoryThis one ended up selling for something stupid like $500NZ!!! I cant remember exactly
heres the unit itself in its wierd glory.This one cost me about $80NZ 8-)
theres 2 relays inside, one for each indicator.normal state, all pins are connected together, and to the brake light signal.
when a relay is on, it switches to connecting the pins to the cam switches.
The cam is driven by a worm drive motor.it has a small capacitor connected up also, which is there to make sure the cam stops in the same position each time you turn the indicator off.
the 6pin plug is all the "ins" brake and indicator signal e.t.c.the 2 small 4pin plugs go to each of the tail lights.

I envy you... bad ***
Re: (datsunboy)
thanks for the pics. You should definately post all this on the 510 realm if you haven't already.
Re: (datsunboy)
Heres the newer, electronic version...

although it's for a Moostang, it would work for the 510 as well, and probably alot cheaper than the old mechanical version, not to mention alot more readily available.
