karl Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 WOW! didn't see that one coming, haha. I use the clutch to stall the engine when I need to turn it off. BTW love Jacksonville, used to run shifter karts there a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASA240Z Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Put in 83zx alt in my 71z rewired voltage reg. and installed diode on T-connector with stripe on diode facing alt. Now car will not turn off. The diode I used is from Radio shak part #1N5402. Please any help would be appreaciated. Thanks you may of accidentaly placed the diode in the wrong drirection. I believe the arrow should be pointing towards the T connection on the alt, check if that is the problem. Hope that helps, Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karl Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 I checked it and it's on the correct way. Thanks. It's a 3amp 200v diode. Does it matter which wire on the T-connector it's on, I have it on the top wire of the connector. Thanks again for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 How is it installed? Is it install between the line and the alternator or did you just added it? I recently did this conversion on my 260z and is running fine and turns off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I installed my diode at the old voltage regulator wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karl Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 I installed it from the wire that comes off the harness to the back of the T-connector that plugs into the alt. Which wire did you attach the diode to on the voltage reg. (white,yellow,black/white stripe or white/black stripe)? Thanks. BTW the car has 165,000 miles on it and I drive it about 4,000 miles per month, almost all at night. I need a good alt. to see the deer.

loy Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 The diode is connected to the white/black and white/red wire. With the white stripe goin to the white/red one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
