Hey guys, I'm trying to perform the internally regulated alternator upgrade for the early model 260z. I was wondering if anyone has done this successfully and could share some knowledge on how the wiring should go? I have read through all the guides showing the mod for the 240z and 280z but in my research I am coming across some concerns regarding the 260z. The guides that I have read have been helpful in understanding that I need to wire a diode to be able to shut the car off. Guides I researched so far: http://www.zcarcreations.com/howto/voltreg.htm https://forums.hybridz.org/topic/40818-260z-alternator-voltmeter-swap/ The challenges …

My key-in buzzer never seemed to work. I thought I would look into it since I had the cover off. One of the wires from the switch is fine, and I can connect it, but the other wire had a splice that just fell apart. The wire that's left is too short to splice or even solder. Can you get the entire lock with the key-in switch and wiring off without having to break the bolts off? Do you even need those shear-bolts, or can you just use normal bolts? thxZ

Does this relay make a sound of any kind? Call me old school, but I like a "click/clack" or whatever when my blinkers are on. thanks

I bought the 60-amp alternator upgrade kit from MSA for my January 1971 240Z. Is it really a straight swap or should I be upgrading other things? What is your experience?

My low beams don't work, and to follow the wires, you need to locate a connector C-2. It's a black connector, similar to the ones on the firewall junction panel. It's probably behind the radio, but I only looked near the fusebox & relays so far. Maybe someone bumped it when fixing the heater core, since that's about when the low beams started acting up. It's near the fuse links in this graphic. It also goes to the kickdown switch and kickdown solenoid. The High beams work fine.

I bought a set of the Euro taillights to go in my US spec 1971 240Z. The harness plugs are not the same. The US harness has a 4-wire plug and the Euro light has a 6-wire plug. Any one know of a diagram that would show a reversible harness I could make to bridge the two? Or is somebody selling a plug-and-play adapter?

Hi everyone , I am a new member here. Just purchased a 1974 260 that's spent 20+ years in the Texas hill country out in a field. Rats chewed through many of the harness, but I have been able to in most part patch it together, however I've run into a snag with whatever this mystery relay is over on the driver's side by the radiator. The plug on the relay side has a yellow, blue/red ,black/yellow, yellow/black,solid black, and light green/black colored wires. On the harness side of the plug most of the wires make sense , apart from 3 wires that are black/ white of the same gauge . It's really a guessing game to where these wires go without knowing what this rel…

More specifically, for the 1977 model. I know of a few differences between the 75-76 models and also the '78 model. Take a look in the download section... The 'blurry' print is just a product of AutoCad printing to Adobe. When printed on paper, the true font and line weight come out as intended. To print, use the 'print current view' option in adobe and 'pan' across until you print the whole thing. I wouldn't suggest trying to scale down too much, but will tell you it looks beautiful hanging on my garage wall. Special thanks goes out to Mike for hosting this for me!

Can anyone tell me where the relay/fuse for the power windows is located in the car. My book doesn't have the proper location. Apparently there were some design changes between the 82 and 83. Both windows will not operate. No electrical to them at all. Thanks. Tim.
