Hi Benny, I just installed a plug a week or so ago. Let me check on the weekend but from memory the plug goes something like this: | - -0- | | -=- - | With the 0 being the diode connecting between those 2 pins and the = just a connection between those 2 pins. It probably doesn't make much sense and I could have the diagram all wrong so I'll check on the weekend and post a pic. I believe you can buy the plug from tandy or jaycar as well as the diode. Once you have connected the 2 bottom pins and connected the diode you can fill the plug with a 2 part resin to seal it up into a solid little unit. If I can get the parts on the weekend I'll make a batch up to sell to anyone who wants it for something around $15 although it's probably about $6 worth of parts (plus resin) if you want to do it yourself. The benefit of the plug is that you don't have to hack up the wires and therefore is backwards compatible. If you aren;t worried about this then you can just connect your wires and put in a diode.

So what's the new plan? I am happy to do something at my place in Kedron on Saturday the 11th if everyone else is keen for that? Cannot do the 12th.

I posted this on Rev's thread a couple of months back, looks slick and has the best of both worlds!

Hey mate, sorry just read this message, big night! Just finished cleaning up. Maybe one night this weekend or on the weekend?

Loving the blue on blue + gold, looks great!

Oh cool, so don't need a hand on Sunday then?

K&N's on my 45's

I like those oval K&N's or these ram flos:

Mate I said I can't do the 20th! If it's early enough I could probably swing it but not ideal

OK how about a Sunday arv in December at my place in kedron? Im cool for the 12th or Bullzed when do you leave? Could we do an earlier weekend in December that you could make it too?

I can't do the 20th so 11th or 12th would be better for me. Options ATM are PeterT's place if he has cleared out the shed and cleared it with the wife or my place in Kedron if that is a no go...

Welcome mate, When are you looking at coming? We are planning a Christmas breakup sometime soon and I'm sure the guys would be more than happy to have you

Hey mate, I'm pretty busy atm but I could possibly have a look at it next weekend or the weekend after? Don't know how good my eye is but I have been around z cars for 8 years. I can take my camera too. If you need someone to go have a look sooner I'm sure some of our other brissy members might chuck their hand up.

Looking good Greg! I can make that into wallpaper for you if you are interested... seriously haha

It's an entertainment unit with a 3d tv. Look the r i acing is on.

Ahhh cool, was gonna send you a msg asking wat was going on with the engine

A young guy ditching an rb for an l28??? Unheard of Looking good Benny, looks like a good rig to start with

Hate to hear about you getting ripped off but $2300 seems pretty generous considering most would never see any extra money after the deal was done. I would be glad that I didn't get totally screwed on it. I think we all know when buying a car that a blokes description isn't worth jack. If we believed everything we heard/read, 80% of our driving population would be old Granny's that drive cars on highways on sunny weekends. How they get the cars to the highways without doing any city kilometers is always a mystery Not saying you're at fault, and I do hate disingenuous people, but it could have been $2300 worse. Good luck with the build.

The zed by the sounds of it

I ordered the console from Black Dragon in the states (Back when they were victoria british) and it is currently sitting in my 74 260z 2+2. Everything lines up but the console lid does open from the left.

Buy a trailer to get it from a to b? If you can afford to hpc everything then go for it, that's what Simon did with his yellow car and it looks sweet. BUT you still have to clean and polish regularly. At Warrick last year he said he spent hours polishing everything before the show, and he doesn't even drive the car every day, or every weekend from what I can gather! You've got to find that balance of a car that you can use and a show pony! I don't think either end of the scale is a bad thing, you just need to find the balance that's right for you. Have a go at polishing your own stuff Steve, it isn't that hard, just time consuming. I know a guy in Gladstone who polishes stuff and it's so cheap that I wouldn't be bothered doing it myself! It definitely faster if you have the right gear.

I've got two 10" thermo fans, a head unit (no amp) and h4 headlight upgrade running on my 240z (with l26) and it is fine. Note sure what amp the alternator is, although it is definitely an externally regulated one.

PZG where abouts did you get the alternator from? I got a price for Bosch BXD1242A (quoted for an 82 280zx) from Repco $330 and Bursons $359. From what I have read the wiring should be pretty easy, just a diode to cut it off. Is this the modifying you are talking about? I might take you up on that offer Garvice, until I can afford a new one at least. Cheers mate

A new Ingram 831223 Regulator (http://www.ingram.com.au/index.html) is $97 so I'm thinking I might just do the internal Bosch alternator upgrade and get a new battery while I'm at it. Still have to do the tests to make sure I'm replacing the right parts but it makes sense from what I have read.
