Thanks!

I've got a 1971 240Z and am upgrading to Speedhut gauges. One of the options that is available (by special request) is additional LED lights on the tach for things like a Brake Indicator. As my car is not together right now and I can't seem to find it in here or in manuals etc, I'd like some experienced help on how the light is triggered (by either the parking brake or fluid cylinder). Is the current brake indicator lighted with a 12v+ or a Ground? Thanks in advance.

The internal voltage regulator (I had previously upgraded to an interanlly regulated 280ZX alternator) was bad and I replaced the entire alternator. Problem with bouncing amp gauge solved.

I've got a 1971 240z that I have upgraded the alternator to the 60 Amp kit with Diode. It is an internally regulated alternator. I've also done the parking and headlight harness relay upgrade and upgraded the fuse box to the blade type. Overall it works great. All of these upgrades and a new battery were done last March. Occasionally, my amp gauge will bounce between + and - when I initially start the car and this may last for a few minutes or more, it will then settle down and only move when I put on the turn signals or switch on the headlights. It happens intermittently. This morning on my drive to work it bounced for about 15 minutes. Later in the day when I drove to lunch it was rock solid from start up. Any thoughts on where to begin my investigation on the source of the problem?

I thought it might be ground based on the diagram, but with lack a clear instructions left me with a bit a doubt. Could you snap a pic of how you ran it in your set up?

For those of you with a 123ignition Tune model, can you clarify what you did with blue wire? I understand the red and black and that they yellow is for a switch to change between advance tunes while driving. The instructions are not clear on what the purpose of the blue wire is and the only reference i found was in the diagram at the end of the manual.

Thanks! That is how I thought it might work. Very clean installation.

Can you share some pics of your throttle linkage with the Harada intake? Thanks.

From that diagram it would appear that way. I didn't see it from from the angle and dirt in the area. When I get a chance to get back under the car this weekend, if there isn't one, I'll post back, but otherwise assume I was ignorant of the different design in the 74+ versus the 70-73 that I have spent more time looking at and researching.

I didn't realize that there were two different flanges that bolted to the differential output shaft for the R180. I had only encountered the 70-73 flange that used 4 bolts to bolt to the output shaft as shown in Zcarnut part diagram. The one that the PO installed in my 1971 is the 74+ that the flange bolts directly to the diff. Thanks for the clarification, I didn't know there was a change beginning in 74.

Would the Techno Toy Tuning Mustache Bar work with the finned cover (assume it would as it is very similar to the ArizonaZ Car one.?

Open diff.

I might have missed it, but did you install the finned diff cover? There is a pic of it on the bench, but your pic of it on the car it looks like the standard cover. If you didn't install it, why not?
