Series 2 C34 Alternator

[DaveB]

Hi all,

Are the brushes on the stageas alternator replaceable? Don't mind if they're part of the voltage regulator, just so long as the brushes are removable without dismantling the entire alternator.

Mine are just about worn out; every now and then I have to tap the alternator with a small hammer to get the charge light to go out.

Alternator gave up again tonight. Brushes don't look to be accessible without disassembling the alternator somewhat.

Has anybody tried other alternator options - M35's have higher-rated alternators, and they look similar. V35 possibly higher again. Or even good old R33/R34?

Dave I am pretty sure there are plenty of Bosch off the shelf items that will fit for not much money.

New ones are not much more than recond

Thanks guys,

The only thing which concerns me about non-stagea-specific parts is the fittment of the body/distance from the belt and the size and grooving of the pulley - it must be pretty critical that these are the same (M35 is different)?

Bob I contacted Russman about his '33 one (the grooves are the same, and the body *looks* the same, so it's a $75+p/h chance...) Thanks for spotting that

i ended up with one listed for old rb30 skyline through jas oceania and it fitted straight in

same as for the starter, rb30 starter has less teeth with different size cog which in the end works same as rb26 starter

Cool thanks for the details - is the RB26 different re. Flywheel ring gear / alternator?

im pretty sure the alternators are the same. I remember researching it ages ago and that apparently over the life of the rb25/26 Nissan has used like 6 different models of alternators from different suppliers. all have same dimensions/pulleys/amps. and that's when I found the rb 20 and rb30 also have the same just older. however note that the commodore rb30 alternator is different to the skyline rb30. as for the starter I just googled around on the day that it conked out and found people using the rb30 starter on various rb25/26 engine and gearbox setups
