Lynton Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Can a 280ZX alternator be bolted in with same wiring as 260Z with no other changes? Lynton Quote
luvemfast Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Plugs may be different. But why not upgrade to another option? Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted April 15, 2013 Moderators Posted April 15, 2013 Just have to remove/unplug the factory external regulator and make a wire loop and plug in the ZX unit. Quote
. Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I thought there needed to be a diode in the loop too? Quote
neRok Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I have 2x260z, one had ammeter gauge and shunt circuit, the other a charge light and voltage gauge. If you have the volt+light gauge, the light can do what the diode does. The diode/light is to provide some load on the internally regulated alternators wire (charge indicator wire if its the sort) so that the alternator can excite (ie activate charging). Quote
chris240 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Mine has the loop conversion and the dick smith diode taped to a matchstick .... Quote
