I got it off a friend... Unfortunatly theres not a 1200 one that i know of.

I used those for my internal reg and SR conversion and Im pretty sure the colours used on the 1600 (510) were the same.

Quote:uh, not actually. There is an important distinction to make.

The alternator main output wire (large White wire) needs to go directly to the Battery +, through a main fuse. A branch of this circuit goes through the firewall to the fusebox (white) and ignition switch (white).

SIMPLIFIED WIRING DIAGRAM
Less confusing? Sure, I have never seen a diagram like that, it is simple and clear. No repair manual has one that nice. Where did you get that? Is there one for the 1200?

The white wire from alternator goes through firewall and then splits in two. One goes off to the key and the other feeds the fuse box.

Not sure about other questions you raise. Bit confused.

However under the dash there are two plugs and sockets which are the same. Check they are not mixed up.

Your main power lead from batt should go straight to starter motor. The other lead on the original batt loom under bonnet goes from batt pos to the regulator. It is a white/red. You could take this wire from regulator down to starter and put it on terminal with batt lead.

Try and get diagram from manual and enlarge it to at least A3. Makes it so much easier to follow. Not sure on original alternator, regulator etc as I removed all this with my CA conversion and re-wired.

wow thats clear as
thanks for that
heeps better.

any idea where the white wire to alternator comes from

i cant seem to find it

done some testing and
the original negative colour wire gets 12v when i kick it

and so does another plain black wire

all the rest seem good

except

when i turn reds on the parkers go on

and still no blinkers

no dash light

no low beam

do you have a diagram of the fuse box.

i plugged in anywhere and now i dont no what needs what fuse

so i need
colour wires=position=fuse type

and also
would alternater be bridged to main power lead to starter

where does the main alternator lead go
as i have battery in back now and alternator on other side of starter motor


diagram below is different to wiki 1
but makes more sence

oops wrong diagram... try this one:




The one above is good if you are converting to an internal regulated alt!

This may help I know it is for a 1600... but the wires in my 1971 1200 are exactly the same:

Well, yes, it would be best Demo if you had bought a $10 manual off eBay. I have purchased many for less than $10 USD shipped, including one for $3.

But anyways we're family...here's the answer:

* what colour the small wire to starter motor is
Answer: Black with yellow stripe. It is in the harness that goes along the right side of the engine.

* what colour the main negative wire is
Answer: Black with yellow stripe. It is the biggest wire on the car. It goes from the battery post to the right-most bolt of the timing cover.

* also what colour washer bottle wires are.
Answer: Kangaroo bag wires are BL and LR and located on far left front corner of engine compartment.

Did the 1973 wiring diagram in the club Album help? Don't be put off by USA vs AU model, they are almost identical. That makes me wonder ...which manuals -- other than the Nissan manual -- have wiring diagrams? My Gregory's does not. Intereurope (published in Britain) has the typical Export diagram, labled USA & Canada...

i reckon, how do you expect aid when you go off like that, tyrie has had a hell of a lot more useful inpuit than you mate who just expects everyone to get up and sort out your wiring prob. seriously, get a manual they have a comprehensive wiring diagram in the back. its a bit hard for us to make head or tail of the rats nest wiring you have without actually sitting there in front of it.
take it to an auto elec if you cant figure it out.

yeah good onya mate, I wish you luck. With an attitude like that you may need it.

thought so
but says it also go 2 starter on the wiki thing

that helps as i can actualy conect battery to do some testing now if it works

also

whats the colour of the small wire to starter motor

if u dont no its cool ill buy a battery 2morrow and try find out

not in melbourne

but u can email if u want

the last 1 i got was complicated and wasnt clear at all
if it was u that sent it.

thanks for the help anyway
