Hey Y'all,

My alternator is toast and I need a new one.

I am having trouble finding contacts to get me a new one.

I have had a few people tell me a VL one will work but the braket is slightly different.

I have my old one still but it's overcharging so I can get it reco'd but would prefer a new one. The VL bosch new one is $240 which is a pretty good price. I've tried Repco and Binks nissan and neither could help.

If you have any contacts or know of of an exact model that fits please let me know

The part no is 23100 0V10Y

Nissan said it would be over $1000 for a new one, har har.

Repco couldn't help at all. MonstaS4 on calais turbo (he uses sau too) said the rb25 alternator fits the VL fine, wonder if it fits the Rb25 the other way

he didn't say and wasn't too keen on chatting for very long about it either. can u get me a bosch one. i may end up putting the old one back on as i need the car on the weekend. how quick can u get me a vl bosch one?

spoke to another place, can give me a new one and match it to suit for $375. he said the nissan jap ones are 70a, but on my plate is says 80A and he reckons the aus ones are 80A, so thats wierd. although i do have a reco one, but it has the stock nissan part and badge no

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
