I have a set of S7 EL gauge faces installed in my cluster, and I need to patch them into the power system in my '05 ZR. I'm coming back to Nissan from a '95 Honda, and the more sophisticated and solid-state nature of the Z looks daunting. I've checked here by search and in the Nissan Repair Manual, but thought somone here'd have practical experience. Any suggestions on where to hook up so I don't burn anything out?

And just to diffuse potential flames- yeah, I know, it's ricey. I'm building a Star Wars art car for charity appearances, so it fits for now.

Thanks!

 

that explains everything

 

Yup- though laughable to you, the Honda was a durable car- and it did get me onto "Top Gear", displayed in the Petersen Auto Museum, and on a ton of tv shows and magazine spreads like Wired, Playboy, Stuff, GQ, Life and more over the past 10 years. I'm excited to do the same with the Z, as I grew up with Datsuns and Nissans and Zs in particular. If things go as they did with the Honda, can't wait until I get the Z on a NASCAR track pre-race for a parade lap.

It's all second-place to the charity work that we do, though- 160 events a year.

Most of you guys are gonna hate my designs. The Honda guys did, until we became the world's most well-known del Sol; but the millions of dollars raised for kids and the hundreds of charities supported, from the soldiers deploying/returning from the middle east to Terminal-cancer kids, make it worth the grief I expect to get here. I'll definitely be the eccentric one...

 

all nonsense aside, tap into something like your 12v source through your cigarette lighter plug. something constant.

 

Sounds like an awesome project for a good cause to me ...Come check us out!
