Doors
Whenever i'm getting on it at night around corners i noticed that my light will come on due to the door being pulled out. Now the door is competle shut. If anyone else has had this problem and nows how to fix it i'd appreciate it.
Thanks
Chris

Does this happen when the window is down or up?
My 280ZX does this also, but mainly when the windows are down or even halfway down. What I have done is move the door catch back about a centimeter or two and tighten it down as much as I can. This solves the problem for a while but eventually returns. Another possible solution is to mount something on the door that pushes the door switch further so when you go around curves the light won't come on. Just a thought.

Ya, I remember my car doing that too. I adjusted the door stopper in as was suggested and it has been fine for over 6 years. If the rubber cover on the door light switch is worn off, then that lets the switch stick out that much further. Replace the rubber cover or put a small spacer plate on the door.

Thanks guys,
I'll have to check out the door stopper. It happens with the window up or down and i probably is just from 23 years of driving. I probably will get stut tower braces but i don't think thats the problem because i have suspension tech sway bars. new bushings, tokico springs, and tokico dampening. The strut bars will be after the 350 though. I'll tell you what going on and post
Thanks all for the help
