    Weird Battery Voltage

    in Ignition and Electrical

    Posted

    A good alternator should charge around 14V, I would say an absolute minimum should be 13,5V. Normaly they are labeled 14,8V.

     

    If this is the case, I would check; cable from alternator to battery, AND engine grounding back to the battery.

    I had problems with the alternator and regulator so I trew them both out and bought a newer alternator with an internal regulator(easier to wire up) it should be easy to find one that fits.

     

    If the battery holds its charge over night I would call it good, you can test it yourself, if you sort it with a spanner or something while you measure the voltage and the voltage doesn't drop below 10-11V it is fine, don't take to long with this ;) if you decide to do it.

     

    If the car dies while you are driving and you stil meassure 12,3volts on the battery I would think the problem is elsewhere...

    I am offering the asked price of 1K USD for this 1970 240Z

     

    A plan has come together.

    Due to the difficulties registering my 73' slightly modified Z and the ease of registering this 70 model, this is what will happen.

    I am selling my 73 to my old man who has been green with envy for some time, he wants it all original.

    With a combination of the parts on the car already and some from this one it will be all original again and quickly back on the road under the historical vehicle paragraph it is registered by at the moment.

     

    I will keep this one, and it will be given the neccesary bodywork, ZG flares with the apropriate front wing, the stroker with triples, rb gearbox, r200 and the full, custome, leather interior intended for the 73. Back on the road by easter if i am lucky

     

    To do all this, we are actually building another garage to function as workshop! and we already just build one this summer!

     

    I am very enthusiastic about this.

    So, pretty please, let me have it :) and help me get it here ;) i will pay for any expences.

    Shipping came in at 1395$ from California.

    3 minor issiues remaining:

    -Title and bill of sale

    -Getting it to drive on and off a boat

    -getting it to the boat

    The current transfer rate on the dollar makes this "cheap"

    Z on ice? not in this country I would't :P The roads are salted during winter to a such an extent that the roads are dry at -10C sometimes. Mostly snow and ice turns into super corosive slush. My 73' hibernates from October to April when in use, it has been sleeping for two years now wich may be enough to declear dead ;) it will rise again, but likely not as a roadcar.

    On the otherhand, we do make ice tracks on frozen lakes and rivers for fun and games. Skinny tires with "swede" rally spikes and you are on your way ;) cooling won't be an issue at least.

     

    Does anybody know any good shipping companies based in the area where this car lives?

    Calship.com is getting a quote for me now.

    Jetcarrier is stil an option as they will delivere to my doorstep.

    Finn-us logistics, will check it out

    Peter smits didn't get me anywhere by google

     

    Others?

    Really? 1500$ Jetcarrier has online prices on their pages, they ship from the east coast and take 1460$ from a US port to Norway, 1000$ extra for crosscountry shipping from California. They where cheap when i shipped the Stroker over by rowboat. On top of that com expedition charges and taxes.

     

    I might need to talk to my relatives who import directly from california.

     

    Still, I need to know more about the condition of the body.

    Aha, My shipping company wants 2700$ for taking that car from Long Beach to Oslo for me... that seems a bit steep if you can get a car over to Rotterdam for less than half.

     

    Still, Pictures an such, general conditon?

     

    The closest port is Seattle! Or LosAngeles. Or Oakland. There is absolutely no eason to Trans-ship the car to the east coast for shipment to Europe. The cost is cheaper to ship from west coast port than the Trans-shipping to East Coast USA!

    Frank280ZX & I generally ship to Rotterdam a container in April. Six cars $3,500 TOPS, but packing stuff is around $100 per car and you gotta have someone to pack it. A shipping company can do it. For $1,000-1,300 and in some cases come pick it up within a given distance from the port.

    Peter Smits Global #?# a part of CRS handles individual cars when we only need to ship one. The 85 Mercedes 380 SEL we shipped in April has been reprinted and went through Dutch Inspection three weeks ago. Top down cruising till the end of summer as planned!

    Don't limit your shipping options to he east coast, you CAN ship out. Of SEA-TAC easily!
