Ok the Datsun forums are useless and i've been a part of this forum for ages so i'll ask you guys.
When driving this car the charge light has recently started coming but will go off as soon as i shift into top (4th) gear. At night with the headlights on the dash and headlights will visibly dim in any gear but 4th and the stereo plays up randomly shutting down etc.
What would be causing this?
Another problem, i'm not sure if its related, the starter motor wont engage when turning the key. You can hear the solenoid click out but will not turn the starter over. i've looked under the hood near the starter motor and there is a wire not connected to anything (looks like a ground wire), starting at the body of the car that seems like it would lead to the back of the starter motor but doesn't look like it was ever connected.
These 2 problems only started about 2 weeks ago.
I'm stumped guys.
EDIT:thanks for the move i wasnt sure...
