Hey all, I got a 300ZX tonight, its an 1988 Turbo 2 seater, the annoying
thing is that the right headlamp flickers when I'm going down the road.
already tried a different light bulb, so I'm pretty sure its a loose ground,
anyone know where its located?

I bet it's a flakey HL switch. It has seperate points for each side of the
car and is a common failure point. If you're good at fixing small
mechanisms, they ussually can be taken apart and the contacts cleaned.

Yes, I stand corrected. Buy a headlight switch. Or, take it apart and
clean the contacts. Get one of the finger nail files from the wife and
go to work on it.
