    Plug in diode

    in Parts Wanted

    Posted

    Thank very much for your help. I just ordered the plug in diode in the link you sent me.

    I never checked voltage at the battery bit I assume it would have been very high?

     

    The battery wasn't great anyway so I'll be getting a new one when the diode arrives. Hopefully it will sort it.

     

    Thanks for the links I'll have a read through them all now

    Yeah. I bought a new alternator not realising it was an internally regulated one. I just swapped them straight over without changing anything.

     

    Then of course I had the run on issue. I was then told I need a diode but wasn't told any rewiring was required?

     

    It's an early 1974 260z austrailian import

     

    Thanks

    Hi all

     

    Ive just installed a new alternator, however it's an internally regulated alternator so I'm now having problems with run on. I'm looking for a plug in diode. If someone has one or knows where ide get one that would've great.

     

    Thanks

    Well his car is a 260z so its possible that this happened from the factory, What month was your 260z made? Also this is something to consider when ordering the coilover setup you should probably measure your strut tubes to make sure if you have 280z strut tubes or 240z strut tubes.

    Here's my car when I first got it, as you can see the rear height is fine, the springs must be the problem, its an early 1974 model (march).

     

    Should have said I had the shocks on the softest setting also, The spring rates I went for are 150f/175r.

     

    Cheers

    That is odd that the ride got worse when you swapped the springs as the front spring rate is 185 lbs in. and the rears are 200. What setting are your shocks on? I have tokico springs with illumina shocks set on 2 all around and while the ride is firm it is nothing like a jeep!

     

     

    I had my shocks set at 5, I dont know what MSA were at but the springs I got are not right. The coilovers are on the way so hopefully they will work out for me.

    Well I contacted MSA about the problem I had, they said that the part number ending on 001 were the front springs and 002 were the rears.

     

    So I went out to the garage and checked, I couldn't find any part number at all on the front springs, so I checked the rears, and there I seen it 001, So I took out the rear spring and put it on the front, the front is now like a dam jeep.

     

    Ended up ordering ground conrol coilovers yesterday, hopefully these will sort out my problem.

    Hi all,

     

    My car has always been sitting lower on the back, I put this down to worn rear shocks, I put in a set of tokiko illumina springs and shocks last summer thinking this would cure it but its still the same,

     

    I measured from the sills to the groung on the fron and rear and its sitting approx 35mm lower in the rear, Anyone have any idea's why this would be?

    You can Kind of see it in the pic below, If you look at the front of the rear wheel and the back of the front wheel you can see the difference, It starting to bug me now

    I'm going to have to dig it out of storage. Bear with me.

     

    As I mentioned, nothing's flying airfreight-wise over most of northern Europe at the moment ( and there will be long backlogs even after they start flying again ) so it might take a while for you to get one imported from anywhere.....

     

    No problem, sure let me know the specs when you dig it out.
