    Ok, so... I don't get it lol. Back in May I was trying to get my 280Z running well enough to be the DD right... didn't work. It kept dying from electrical problems I couldn't figure out (post the direct ground to header short that blew a batt terminal apart). I changed out all new primary wiring (alternator/grounds/starter), checked clearances away from the headers ect.... double and triple checked the wiring... everything seems ok. I also changed out the altenator for a referb (granted it could still be an issue but I'm going under the assumption it's not atm).

    I'd get from my house to the rock querry on 347 (approx what, about 10mi perhaps). Since then I recharged the optima redtop again (new after the short), and have been driving it around the block at least 1-4 times a week. I've increased to driving around the division (4+ mile square). Tonight I even did the loop twice with lights on (as it's dark obvious they're on lol).

    Needless to say, I've way, way over exceeded my previous cut out points over the past 3+ months, granted in shorter increments each trip. No cranking issues, no sign of the battery weakening or anything. I haven't found any smoking guns to say the issue is resolved... and I can't really trust the car to go much further which sucks cause, I wanna drive it lol.

    Anyone have any thoughts on anything else to look at, or any similar experiences?

    Do keep in mind... this is a hybrid car (small block chevy in a datsun 280z) so... it is a tangled home made mess but... when I first picked it up and prior to the shorting issue I never had a starting issue (that is until the started got a heat soak issue and I replaced it... which I ran the cable incorrectly and it melted to the header thus shorting out the system).

    I am curious if there is anyone interested in maybe helping me with a project during my winter break in December? The project is changing out my belt driven fan to an electric fan..
