R32 Alternator

[filthy]

hey ppl i was just wondering if any of use knew where i could pick up a cheap secondhand alternator for my 32. it stopped working a couple of months ago. im pretty sure its the alternator b'cos when the battery goes flat the car doesnt run and it dies when i turn the aircon or headlights on. would be good if somone could tell me where to get one from. cheers pplz.

The for sale section will be your best friend, but if you urgently need one, your local wrecker will be your best friend.

Hey mate, I have one. Reco'd about 2 months ago... $100 plus post?

should pick a vl/r31 alternator from the wreckers for $50.

you will need the plug as well, if its different style, cut that off the loom at wreckers, otherwise the alternator bolts straight up.

they are only 70amp as against r32 80amp, but will make bugger all difference, especially if your on a budget.

otherwise the above sounds like a good deal.

hey mate! see this http://wiki.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?title=Alternator. There are three kinds of alternator on the R31, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, and Bosch. There may also be two flavours of Bosch. This page has photos of the all alloy cased Bosch (as opposed to the partially plastic cased Bosch - which auto sparkies hate because it's hard to rebuild).
