Electrical issues

When i got the Z, a lot of electrical stuff wasn't working at all, in cause, the original fuse box in a very bad shape as you can see in the pictures

And so i designed a new fuse box based on a PCB made from JLCPCB with more common fuses and a new 3D printed enclosure.

Do not copy this design, it has an issue, i based my design of the electrical schematic found on internet but it's incorrect.

Also i've retrofitted a newer alternator, with integrated regulator and so, i had to modify a plug to bypass the old regulator

Regulator bypass plug (Temporary)
New alternator and regulator bypass plug

Unfortunately, i was scammed by the seller of the alternator (A infamous guy in France specialized in Datsuns) he selled me this alternator with integrated regulator but it happend that was a non-regulated one, i replaced it with the correct one from a 280ZX.
