Hey, Looking to replace the alternator in my '96 r33.

Ive removed the existing one and uncovered part numbers on it

NISSAN: 23100-70T14

MITSU: A2T37791C

Cant locate these part numbers anywhere online.

After lots of looking i found the bosch BXN1231 which it looks like people have used before? Is this a suitable option?

Ive been quoted $361.90 New from local dealer.

CONCERN: Its only 70amp the one thats shat itself was rated at 80amp will this make a great deal of difference?

Anyone recomend any other more suitable alternatives that will bolt straight up :banana: hopefully with no need to change electrical plugs.

THANKS:)

Get it rebuilt, should cost half that.

I personally wouldnt use an alternator that couldnt supply as much current as the original, especially if the car has been modified with bigger stereo's and/or full of old/dirty connectors & grounds etc.

What do people think a typical rebuild would cost? the reason i was looking at new was from everything i had seen online i would be up for $250-300 for a rebuild so i figured i may as well go new.

Theres nothing much to them, a rebuilt one is almost 100% brand new anyway apart from the housing and thats usually repainted also.

So its cheaper, direct fit, almost 100% brand new, and has a higher/correct output rating (less power supply issues down the track)

A non standard one is more expensive, possibly not a direct fit, 100% brand new, lower/incorrect output rating (with possible problems in future)

Weigh the benefits and make your decision. I paid approx. $130 to get an RB30 alt recond about 4-5yrs ago

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
