hey all, i have installed an rb25/30 into a hg holden and have conflicting information on which wires on the alternator are wat, i have two thin wires from the brown plug on the alt itself, now from wat i've been researching there are a few different plugs and wires coming from/too the alt itself as some people claim they have a fat and thin wire, but usually one is constant with wat people are saying which is the red/white wire (thin).

i am lead to believe that the white wire with red trace( or vice versa) is a charge indicator lamp wire and the light green (also thin) is 12v positive, now where i am confused is that do i wire the green wire straight onto the battery itself as in can i loop it round and wire it to the positive on the alt itself? or does it have to be a 12v ignition source (key on will provide the power),

any info at all will be muchly appreciated , just want to know which way is the best way to go about it

cheers dave

Can't help with colours but the excitation wire should be ignition fed or it will drain the battery when the key is off.

I have seen numerous topics where it's been shown which is which but can't remember so have a search til someone responds.

cheers mate , i have searched for hours for the same coloured wires but they usually different colours and have a fat and thin wire, you say the excite wire needs to be switched whereas other threads suggest to constant battery power, this is what i'm trying to sort but it does make sense to switch it

    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
    • Brand was ard.   I also threw a brand new battery at it and beefed up the wire from the alternator to battery and added an extra earthing point from the battery
