Looking for one shipped to CA 91745. PM please. I can paypal ASAP.

After doing some more searching, I noticed that the "L" lamp should only be getting power when cranking. It seems that I'm getting power even after cranking. The Z has been like this for at least a year and haven't had any issues (knock on wood). However, maybe it would be smarter to redo my wiring like the atlanticz tutorial?

Thanks NewZed! Well, the car seems to be running fine without the external voltage regulator connected. I measured 12.38v between the battery terminals when the car was off. At idle and with a load of 3-4k rpm's, it was at 13.65-13.69v. At the "S" (sense) and "L" (Lamp), they measured 14.06-14.10v between idle and a load of 3-4k rpm's. Hopefully, that sounds right.

Thanks beermanpete and bludestiny for the help! Ahh yes, I had to cut back the harness more and it seems the "L" (lamp) on the alternator has a spliced wire that may be going to a switched 12v source. The "S" (sense) is connected to the BAT on the alternator. The car runs fine. Runs even better after the dizzy and msd upgrade. All electronics and gauges work. The volt gauge seems fine. Only weird thing is when I turn on my car lights, I see the gauge move a little towards the right. I would think it would move towards the left since it is drawing more energy? Anyways, from what I can tell now, the external regulator is sitting there connected and getting power, but it is not wired to the alternator. So I'll go ahead and disconnect that when I get back home and see what happens.

Hello HybridZ! When I first got my 75Z a while back, I planned to do the 280zx alternator swap. Interestingly, the previous owner installed a 60amp alternator from a 280zx, but I noticed that the external voltage regulator was still there on the 75 and none of the wires were spliced like the atlanticz tutorial. Is it possible that the 280zx alternator is running the external voltage regulator of the 75 instead of it's own internal voltage regulator? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Pretty sweet ride!! I remember seeing that gutted on jack stands awhile ago when I picked up the 3.9diff. If you could get some sound clips of your exhaust that would be awesome!
