Riceburner Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) Today I started the ricey and limped it out of the garage as it hadn't been run for a month, 15 seconds after start up it stalled due to driver error and wouldn't start again. I seem to have lost all power after the starter. I checked the fusible link off the starter (It's been modified) continuity seemed ok but with the battery on there is no 12v at the loom where the link is spliced back in... There is 12v at the starter, no power in the car at all. I found a green fusible link behind the fusebox that checks out ok. Not sure if it's an issue but I also have a 260z volt gauge instead of a 240z ammeter. Can I source the correct replacement link anywhere local or swap it for an in line fuse? Does anyone know what amperage it is? Edited April 17, 2016 by Gareth. J. Quote
Riceburner Posted April 17, 2016 Author Posted April 17, 2016 Looking at this it appears to be rated at 80amps? http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/99158-main-wire-ampacity/?hl=%2Bstarter+%2Bfuse+%2Blink&do=findComment&comment=930045 Quote
Gtv240z Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 did you find a OEM looking replacement for the fusible link? i am doing an engine bay makeover and want/need to replace the fusible link Quote
Riceburner Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 You buy the correct looking fusible links from the USA shop, Motorsport Auto. I found an assortment pack of fusible link wires on eBay that I used. It was just the bare wires, but has done the job for me. Gtv240z 1 Quote
Gtv240z Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) I have just bought all the bits to make them and looks the same as the MotorSport Auto / OEM look , These will also include the male connector on the zed's wiring loom so both plugs are fresh white instead of fresh white into faded / dirty socket. or you can just slide the brand new brass terminal into the old faded plastic housing for the authentic, vintage look. annoyingly everything had to be bought in large quantities.. so if anyone needs one let me know . I'll put a pic up or post in the classified section once the wire comes in , i am also getting a couple of different amperages Edited June 27, 2017 by CraigZ gav240z 1 Quote
