my alternator died on the way home. My battery level is at 8.5V and won't click over, even with a jump start.

My mate has a RB30 alternator and I'm wondering if this will fit a RB20DET?

I understand that many Nissan parts are interchangable with each other, I'm just hoping they're the same.

Thanks.

i feel your pain, this happened to me a couple of weeks ago

bolting up wise it should fit, but electrically an R32 probably has a higher current draw than a commy or aus-spec r31. also the probably would have slightly different pulley sizes due to different rpm range of two motors. I ended up putting a RB26 (some differences) one on mine.

comparing the 2 would be the best way to check fitment

sycorb on the forums had one for sale last week from a RB20. he's located out in campbelltown but it could be a better option.

n15 pulsar will fit but you need to mod the tensioner bracket i run a 120 amp n15 pulsar on my gtr its bloody beautiful and around the same price brand new with warranty as second hand jobs i have seen!!!

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
