For some reason I cannot make a thread in the DIY section.

Intended Audience: R33 GTST users and maybe R32 GTST Technical Level: Medium Duration: 30mins - 2hrs Effort: Easy !!!Caution/Achtung/Attenzione!!! Follow this guide at your own risk. You have been warned. We are not responsible for any actions you take. The instructions contained herein are only a guide and should be done with caution, If you doubt see your local mechanic. If you are unsure or are not confident don't do it. This is a guide to remove an alterntor off a R33 GTST. Not sure if it's the same for r32 gtst or not. But I know for the GTR's you'll need to remove the plenum. Step 1 Take battery off the car Step 2 Take intercooler piping off. (Assuming it's a aftermarket one which is in the way of the alternator. See pic (alternator circled in yellow) (This is taken from the drivers side view of the engine bay) Remember once intercooler pipes are off to block them with some cloth or something to stop things flying into them. Pic of the alternator from front of car looking down after intercooler pipes are taken off: Step 3 Unplug the wires/plugs at the rear of the alternator: 1. This is the plug for the steering 2. Plug for ground 3. Use a 12 socket to remove the bolt off this to get it off. It is the wire that connects to the + of the battery. There are also two more bolts at the back of the alternator. These are two smaller ones. The larger circle is easier to get to, however there is one on the otherside, opposite side. This you'll have to somehow put a spanner in there and get it out. or you can tilt the alternator to the side once you have taken it off the bracket. Step 4 Undo the (1) bolt, but dont unscrew it all the way. Undo the (2) bolt, but dont unscrew it all the way. Step 5 Undo the bottom bolt slightly. Not all the way yet. Just enough so that the alternator can be pushed up so that the belt can be removed. Use a 14mm socket for this. You might need to jack up the car for leverage, as it's easier to undo it from the bottom. Step 6 Now you can undo the bolt (1) in Step 4. When it is undone you can easily push the alternator up so that the alternator belt can be easily slipped off. You can now remove the bolt (2) in Step 4 all off. Step 7 Push the alternator down slight so it reveals the huge screw and washer thingy. Basically you can remove the bolt shown in Step 5 now. When you remove it it is very long. Just pull it out. To remove the alternator it self you'll need to remove the huge thick copper sleeve thingy, first. Then wedge it out. It is like a C clamp style clamping and mechanism. Step 8 Dont forget the smaller bolts in Step 3 picture 2. They need to be removed as well. Since the alternator has more room, you can slide a spanner in there to get the rear ones easier. Step 9 And there we have it, alternator is on the ground. It's easier to take the alternator out by the bottom. There done easy! Took me ~2hrs the first time with lunch etc.. But 2nd time around it took me 30mins (Yea had two alternators die I think)

Which ones? The T1R's or the semi slick R888's? Check the group buy thread for the semi-slicks.

Get off the roads please. Thank you.

wooha! I dont take much room.. A bench and some newspapers will do me fine Lets hope I can get car fixed before the date.. Otherwise I might take the rolla

Sorry I'll send the form in for next year. If I remember..

Skyline model = R33 GTST Wheel type = No idea got with car Fronts: Wheel diameter = 17 Inch Wheel width = 8.5 Inch Wheel offset = +38mm Tyre size = 235/45/17 Modifications to fit = None, that I know of. Rears: Wheel diameter = 17 Inch Wheel width = 9.5 Inch Wheel offset = +38mm Tyre size = 255/40/17 Modifications to fit = None, that I know of.

CLICK ME!! HOWTO: RB25DET High Boost mode with standard solenoid CLICK ME!!

Just do the Always on 7PSI mod? Groudning the wire thingy on the stock boost solnoid. Costs like $0 Electric is cooler you can change it on tap. Kinda like in fast and furious!

Sorry I dont know. But just out of curiousity what size are your rims? 17x?? and offsets? and what tyres sizes do you have that makes the guard scrubb? Want to know so I can see if I would get same thing when I get my new rims without tyres on.

Wow awesome writeup! Nice work! Pictures tell a thousand words.. Referenced for future. Move and put in DIY thread?

of course....! Bee's Pee is yummy! I remember when we were removing your engine I went to caltex and put in ~10L coz I ran out. and the car was pining off it's tits..

Uhh that sux Picture would be good.

Yea I noticed that Sorry! Beats up camera...

Then you'll see the thread with "My Supra has a broken engine, because it was pinging off it's tits". But wow Damm is that $400 of petrol vouchers! I had 100 $10 caltex vouchers at work before. Too bad wasnt mine.

Hi mate, just wondering re pedders telling you that you need a new steering rack. Do you notice anything wrong with your car? Such as heavy steering compared to other skylines?

ahah Finally it's goneeeeee! Comming back bigger and better I guess!

Can I have them please? I have sent you a PM.

Tricyles FTW!

Yea nothing will happen. Well besides your head unit losing your radio stations and clock resetting.. I dont even have a battery connected in the car at the moment. (Took it off to work on Alternator) Had old battery die on me many times PFC is fine.

Did you read? Oh yea forgot to tell you I got a re-spray to red Last week..

From the same incident... I believe..

Agreed
