It appears my alternator has died tonight. Jumped in my car to go and as I turned the key I heard a click sound and then nothing, no reds no interior lights nothing.

Finally got a jump start from a friendly skyline group (after trying about 70 cars/people for over an hour) and the whole way home it was spluttering on load, lights and power steering dipping on and off. Soon as I got home I switched it off and then tried to switch it back on but completely dead again.

Does anyone have a 110% n00b guide on how to remove the alternator from an R32 GTR?

Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Remove the short ajdusting bolt, then the alternator should be able to be moved up and down. Take off the belt and all wires.

Then remove the long bolt on the bottom.

Then pull it out!

The spanner sizes are 12mm and 14mm, I think.

    • It’s definitely an import, the Aussie ones have reflectors in the rear bar, it’s also a turbo which none of the Aussie one were.    I remember back in the day I want a twin turbo z32 so bad and then I saw a 32 gtr and that was the end of that lol 
    • Same can be said for Subarus motors ha ha!   I like the 300ZX, I nearly bought a Z32 before I bought my first Skyline. It was going to be a project. Then I found out there was a bit of a dodgy title with it... As in, someone attempted to commit insurance fraud with it and there was now some dodgy legalities around it. So at 18 I walked away from it.
    • The below is what the readings I had with the fuel pressure gauge which were correct. It seems like the issue is mainly during drive and not idle. I bought the new hanger hoping it could be the issue, perhaps I ruined something while cleaning, but I have not installed it yet since I have to wire up everything with the new plugs.
    • Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.  
    • Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly
