280zx alt wired straight to starter w/maxi fuse OK?

I did a bit of searching but could not find a solid answer. I want to know if I can run an 8ga wire from the pos off my 280zx alt directly to the pos terminal off the starter with an 80amp maxi fuse in line. I don't see where it would cause any issues but I want to double check. The reason I want to do this is the wires running into the car to the ammeter are getting very hot.

Your question is a little confusing...

 

Your ZX should have a voltmeter, not an ammeter.

 

And if you follow the main charging wire from your alternator you should find that it already goes to the battery positive terminal through a fusible link. At least according to the 1981 diagram.

 

What year is your car and do you really have an ammeter?
