R33 Rb25det Comparison Check

Hi all, I'm after a quick confirmation on an alternator comparison. I have an RB25DET series 1 engine in my 180SX, and it has a Mitsubishi alternator on it. I'm not sure if this is what usually is meant to come with it, or if it's meant to be a Hitachi or Bosch one instead.

My current reco'd alternator has had it so i want a new one. I rang Ashdown who is an alternator wholesaler here in Brisbane. They said they have 2 alternator types as a replacement, for the serial number i provided that was written on my current alternator. But they are listed as a replacement for the RB20DET.

This is what my tag on the alternator says;

23100 70T13

A2T37791B <--- They said this is the number to search by.

12V 80A 55091 MITSUBISHI

And this is what the guy at Ashdown faxed me as a replacement; advising the Mitsubishi style replacement is $289 and the hitachi replacement is $400

Can someone with a R33 GTS-T RB25DET post up the numbers on the tag of there alternator?

Should I go for the $400 hitachi one instead? would there be some type of plug difference between the hitachi and the mitsubishi? Thanks!

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
