Yeah buyee is easier, usually a chassis number works well in searches because they crossover in English and Japanese.

SO much want! It is perfect, perfect colour perfect period correct.

Isn't the white/blue ignition? Are you saying tap off that for the relay power as well? Yellow wire gives the 12V only while engine is running right? white/blue is ignition and will power relay but also provide the source to auto choke when ignition is on? I will check the voltage at the yellow wire.

So the 'electric choke relay' per the above image doesn't appear to function. Am I correct in that on a standard relay white/blue is 30 and blue is 87? Why would the relay itself buzz like crazy?

I can only imagine how hard finding the coupe specific bits will be so its great to be mostly complete.

Oooof, always wanted one of them. You've got all the cool toys.

Yes, the screenshot above of a factory manual is indeed the factory manual I drew colours on to highlight. Yes, the auto choke relay is not even shown but can confirm it directly feeds off the yellow wire going into regulator. The voltage raises to an acceptable level (about 14.5v) when car is started so alt must be working. Still can't work out why dash light it on, every thing I have read suggests if light is on, alt is not working and won't be charging.

Did that today ^ Light stays on but no solid click of relays engaging when connecting battery with key off. Some things are not getting powered, I know the auto choke relay is one for sure. Had to google the factory part number to work out what it was and as you can see, it does not exist on the wiring diagram?!

Not sure? I suppose I could try another alternator but it came off a running car. Won't solve the problem with draw when car off anyway.

Have now tried swapping to same as you @kicker, connecting 5 - WB to 3 - WR and diode facing the same way - it has made no difference. Still charging, charge lamp stays on, loud click from relays heard when car is off and battery connected. The alternator is a Mitsubishi AQ2250? 50 or 60A IC. Can see from the pic I just took that it is wired correctly to S and L.

Yep that's what I've done, per the first pic of two plugs inc a diode. The issue is around the extra relays etc in the same circuit. For late model Z it is a seat belt warning / fuel pump, for me it appears to be ignition accessories and auto choke. I know changing the wires linked by diode may solve the lamp issue but potentially not the rest (triggering relays when car off causing draw on battery.)

Have a 1977 Nissan Laurel KHC230 and the wiring has me a bit stumped. I know there are some OS experts in this field. I don't want my car to catch on fire / melt wires but I don't want to have to disconnect the battery every time it is off too! Must be some of the last cars to have external regulators. I have replaced my alternator with an IR one. I have tried following Nissan / Datsun instructions online which are a little conflicting but the wiring colours seem to match. It all seems to depend on whether other relays are in the same circuit. 1. Alternator S (signal) (Y) 2. 12v from fusable link (W) 3. 12v acc? (WR) 4. Ground (not needed) (B) 5. Alternator L (lamp) (WB) 6. +12v but shares same colour wire to a lot of other relays etc? (WL) This is what I used; After following those above instructions I can confirm - Alternator appears to be working / charging, however there are some issues - 1. warning lamp for charging stays on 2. There is draw on the battery when the car is off, relay(s) can be heard click on when positive connected. It appears that the ignition accessory relay / intermittent wiper box are powered up. Will I fix it by following these instructions instead? This shows 5 white with black stripe + 3 white with red stripe connected instead of 5 + 6 connected. Out of shot of the wiring diagram for my car it would appear that the white/red (WR) ends at the actual charge lamp on the dash? Wiring diagram for my car; Any ideas? Is changing the wiring as indicated going to stop power being fed to other devices when car is off? Or am I going to have to do something more drastic with regard to sourcing power from somewhere else?

Thanks. I have since found someone bringing in 225/40/14s but only in real limited numbers.

How good! So stoked for you it's getting closer to being fully complete. Cheers for the hoons. Wish I could afford the bags, ride comfort was unreal and unexpected (never been in a car with modern bags and its awesome.) All the: Comfort of standard height with no body roll Ride height of cut springs without the spine jarring over bumps. Shout out to Ace Auto Wreckers for hooking us up that alternator. Legends.

No luck chief?
