Default What happened?!?!

Hey guys I have a 2003 Nissan 350z and I had to send all the gauges to cali to get some custom faceplates and leds put in and i was driving without the speedometer and the three gauge pods with oil and volt meter connected and I gassed it off from a red light and the car shut off. I pulled over and tried to crank it and it didnt crank due to no battery power. Did the car drain the battery because the volt gauge was not plugged in or was it some freak thing, cause I jumped it off and put the gauges back in and it works fine. I was just wondering if the car died because maybe the volt gauge was not monitoring the volts used or maybe the altenator wasnt working because of the gauge not being in. WHAT HAPPENED?

I think he miiigght be referring to the fact that you posted in the 370z area. One free pass, then we flame you mercilessly.
