Opening this thread again because i'm having another issue.

First things first. S13 with a KA24DE.
Quest alternator, full speedhut gauges. (Been running this set up for a few years so nothing new).

The white/red wire has power from the cluster sub harness to the alternator. Never had an issue until recently. Charges around 11.5-12 volts which is the normal for the shitty Nissan design when the exciter wire tells it not to up the voltage.

The 75A fuse in the fuse box is good as well.

Alternator has the stock engine ground connected as well as another 8G ground to chassis

Can anybody confirm or deny there is some relay by the driver side kick panel that may have gone bad? Or should I just wire the red/white wire to switch ignition power?
