Well I am going to walk away with my tail between my legs swapped the bulb and it’s working with key on and when I start the car the light goes off.. so whatever happened on that drive burned that light out because it was working I guess that will remain a mystery.. thank you all for everyone’s help in this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes double triple checked the light although maybe it burned out whenever that event happened I will swap it out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok car off and battery connected t plug unplugged and ohm meter on 20k I get 1.59 ohms when it’s connected to where the blue line was on the alternator and a ground Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Before I go back do you want me to pull the T plug with the battery connected then put my meter where the blue line was connected and to a ground to measure ohms? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes I have a meter with my car off the voltage was 12.75 across battery terminals with it on at idle it was 13.45. I pulled the t plug with the car off and moved my meter to ohms when I was on the blue wire and a ground point it showed 0 ohms Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok I went out plugged my relay back in and started the car my parking brake is light is now working again like normal but the charge light does not come on when starting the car I think we are onto something not sure what but something Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do I check the alternators output on the L circuit put a probe on the L line and one to ground and see what the volts are? What should I expect to see? And to check the relay what do I do exactly move the meter to ohm and probe between the ground prong and all the other prongs? If it is the relay I need to find a 4 prong normally open 20 amp relay?

Hmm ok so this is odd with the relay under the seat unplugged the brake light goes off with the parking brake handle down but lights up properly when I lift the parking brake handle... I didn’t touch anything else... I am so bad at electronics I don’t know how it works at all with the relay unplugged Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks so much, yeah my brake fluid wiring isn’t even connected so I doubt it would be that with both the charge and the brake light coming on at the same time I will check the relay first and go from there I haven’t checked this morning if the light is still on but it went off when I turned the car off. So there is that much. Maybe the connection on my alternator is loose that’s what caused all the dimming also I will check and report back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

78 280z I was Driving along tonight and the car almost died at the stop light and all the headlights got dim, and the charge and brake warning light came on. I reved the engine up and the charge light went back off and the headlights went back to normal but the brake warning light stayed illuminated. Not sure what is going on any ideas?

Ok I went with #8x5/8” pan head Phillips and it comes out enough at the end to fully engage without any worries and is snug when tightening Case closed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your right I just found that in the electrical diagram... now does anyone sell this part? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have only ever seen it in pictures of super low mileage 280z. I have not seen one in person so not sure what it does I don’t think it’s electrical Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow thank you for doing this that is great information you really went above and beyond to help me out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is great! Do you think the #6 were 1” machine screws? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone know what size screws to hold the two clamshell pieces together? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you match the rear spoiler to the tail light panel if you don’t do it body color? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You should be able to put as large an amp alternator in as you see want if you can find one that fits properly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got a prototype on my hands super easy install I would say maybe 15 minutes max and then some time to adjust your timing. Here are some pictures. Overall very impressed heavy duty product and I recommend it! I was easily able to put my timing where ever I wanted it when previously my lockdown screw was at the very end of adjustment.

I think I cut the smallest end off if I remember Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When are you doing the underhood/under inspection door/ car door/hatch jambs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting valve cover Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok I am sold how do I get one or a prototype one? My distributor is at max rotate right now and needs just a little more to get it perfect and i just don’t want to deal with it so I left it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
