I beleive that my alternator is starting to die. My mechanic has stated that due to it being a "Mitsubishi" alternator, they can not be reco'ed and Bosch has not yet released and "aftermarket" replacement for the R33.

Has anyone replaced a r33 s1 alternator?

Where did you find a replacement?

How much did it cost?

Was it a direct (no modification required) fitment?

Or has anyone actually managed to reco the std alternator?

ANY HELP ADVISE WILL BE APPRECIATED :)

Thanks

Alan

PS: I do not wish to buy a 2nd hand unit as these are now over 10yrs old. Nissan unfortunately sell these for about $1300 :).

If you can pull it apart you might find the brushes are worn down. New brushes are only about $20. Could also be the voltage regulator but more likely the brushes.

If it spins fine with no noise the bearings are ok.

Mechanics and auto electricians often don't like pulling things apart. Happened with a toyota I had. Wanted $350 for a new one. I pulled the old one apart put new brushes in - worked till I sold the car (a couple of years)

You could get a cheap 2nd hand one. Wack it in - then try and refresh your old one. Put that back in and sell the 2nd hand one for what you paid.

Or talk to an auto electrician that is willing to rebuild your one approx 100-300 I would think

If i'm reading correctly, an aussie R31 with an RB30's Bosch 110a (close enough) is a direct fit, can someone confim that please? I have searched, and the above link is the closest I got. Any help appreciated. :banana:

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
