I don't know about what's best for your 3.0L, but I've always used a180 for my stock 2.4L

same here:classic:

My 1972 240Z (mfg 11/71) has the non-reclining seats.

The Male Brain Revealed. give it a few extra seconds to download if on a dial up.

It could be that the eBay ID is one of Vic's. Many people have multiple ID's on eBay. Isn't the sellers location listed as in Florida?

The eBay ones were going for $25.00 when auctioned.

Most of the VR's that you will find out there for sale are aftermarket "solid state" units that do not have the adjustments that the OEM VR's had. Many folks complain that these newer sytled VR's fail frequesntly and do not regulate the voltage well. I've never used one of the newer VR's myself, so this should be considered as 2nd hand information. Every once in a while someone on eBay lists a few NOS older style adjustable VR's for auction. F.D. (brand); P/N# HBA12-2 Get 'em while you can

I can IMAGINE that conversation! (having experienced one similar conversation, it wasn't a pretty sight)

SO how many race cars are you going to have. Aren't you building one? Now your getting the one in your avatar. Are you becoming the Chip Ganassi of Central CA?

There was a point to it?:stupid:

Yeah, I know the feeling. I always have to explain the whole deal when I go to Wal-Mart to get syringes (prescribed by the vet) under the name "MamaCat Stahlnecker"

Well, actually I'm one of those "cat people" myself. I have three, including a feral cat that I converted to a house cat. After 3 years in the house, she became a diabetic, and I now have to give her insulin injections twice daily, and test her blood weekly. Yeah, I'm a "cat person". But I like Dogs just as much also.

Because our friends won't sit still for the 5 trial fittings so the "helmet" will fit right? :stupid:

There is an area of ambiguity in the article on ZHome (also on our site as well) regarding where and how to install the diode. The installation that I have seen used the connector from the old Voltage regulator to install the diode. The diode was placed between pins on the former V Reg connector that corresponded to the WHT w/ BLK and BLK w/ WHT wires on the Car Harness. this avioded chopping into the OEM harness to make the connections. IOW, the car could easily be converted back to External Reg Alternator. Now, I haven't done the conversion, I'm just reporting what I saw on a friends car, so confirm for yourself the locations of the described wires at the V Reg connector and wire the plug accordingly.

Hi Dwight: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Getting a good deal on the DIRECTV/TIVO combination box. They're offering it for $100 (with free installation and upgrade of the dish to Dual LNB) if you subscribe to the Platinum level for a year (I already do). When I called to order, they told me it was back ordered and offered $25 off! So for $75 I can't go wrong! The only kick is that it only works with DIRECTV service. Not that I'd EVER go back to cable, anyway. That would be :stupid:

Great Thread! Please continue to keep us updated.

Hi Mark: On my 1972 240Z, when standing in front of the car and looking at the engine compartment, the sticker is just to the LEFT of the radiator. It was stamped (like with a rubber stamp & ink) with the paint code number. Carl PS I don't remember for sure whether the numbers were readable from this view ( I *think* they were) or were upside down from this view.

I just hope it doesn't say "Manufactured on Friday at 4PM" EDIT: Hmm, Smilies don't work on this thread.

There is an article on converting to an Internally Regulated Z/ZX alternator in the Tech Articles section. The principals should be the same, even if the connectors are different (I don't know if they are or are not different). Have you read that article, and/or found it to not be useful for the Maxima Alt.?

No wonder I never heard of the POS channel, they can't even get their braodcast schedule synchronized with the broadcast listings that they publish. If anyone got it on TIVO and is willing to dub a VHS tape, please let me know. Thanks. I wish my TIVO/Receiver from DIRECTV would get off back order!

That's a different show, Steve. This one was only 30 minutes long.

...............those two summers would have been better spent on the beach doing nothing!

I liked the story on the first link better thatn the picture on the second link.:stupid:

Arrrghh! I just got home and discovered that I'm taping a show about Bimmers! WTF?? Right channel, right show, wrong subject! I'm pissed!
