Hey guys installing a second battery in my car have got a Battery isolator for the batteries but got no idea where to find the alternator wire is going to the main battery.

Need to find that disconnect it and connect it to the isolator then connect the to battery + to the 1 and 2 posts of the isolat...

So can someone please tell me where the alternator wire is.

Its got to run to the battery somehow doesnt it?

Ok... I did some really heavy and deep searching on the net about this..... all i could find was a really small mention about an aqua (light green) wire.....

so i had a look at the fuses in the boot next to where the battery is and pulled plasic surround out looked to see what wire was running to the 10a fuse for alt s (guessing alternator) to find that it is an aqua (light green) wire but this wire is about as thick as the wires coming out of your computers power supply.....

so is this the wire that charges the battery? i was expecting to find a much thicker wire for this?

Can anyone shed some light on this as im still not 100% sure about this.

it'll be burried with some other cables in a plastic tube wrapped in elec. tape. this is what it looks like on my R32 gtr. notice the 'stray' wires, it is/was burried amongst these in a plastic tube.

    • Seems to be the case mate , still an OK price for a grey import.
    • I’m interested in the carbon diffuser fins and Toshiba MFD screen replacement if they’re still available.
    • @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂 
    • Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.
    • They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
