hondabait Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I just did a 280zx alt swap into my 260z every thing fits perfect except I had to get a little longer belt. ok so my problem is when I connect the battery with the key off I hear a click from beneath the glove inside the cockpit(i think) and that means some of the juice is being used to power that relay while the car is parked and sure enough if I leave it like that over night the battery is dead. I followed the instructions connecting the white to yellow and the black/white to white/black at the deleted external voltage regulator and even did the diode thing to stop it from "running on".I read somtwhere there is somthing different you have to do on a 260 somthing about the lockout or somthing, has anyone else had this problem??? http://zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/280Alt.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niner11 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/alternatorswap/index.html This is the link that helped me switch over to an internally regulated alternator. Hope it can add a little info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesussalvdr Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem on my 260z after alternator swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondabait Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yes I figured it out but don't ask me how. That was months ago. But If you are still having problems I can help if you pm me. I'm nothing too special with electronics but I managed all the info is out there but sorting it out and finding it is difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
