Hey guys,
My alternator **** itself last weekend, so I'm considering my options at the moment.

It's currently running the standard internally regulated fj20 60A alternator.

My options are;

- Get it rebuilt
- Fit another alternator
- Fit another higher new amp'ed alternator off another car.

I'm interested to hear from anyone that has fitted a 80A or 100A alternator off another model car without to much effort?

I did a search on here and found people have used L series bosch ones and some RB30e alternators. I understand they are a cheap alternator, but I think I'd rather do an upgrade and would like to buy some new or close to (low km import).

Does anyone have any idea on a good bang for buck upgrade would be? and where I can source one?

cheers

Martin

nissan pulsar GA15de alternator is easy to adapt. You just need to swap pulley's over. I think it is 80amp

i use a vl rb30 alternator never had an issue with it in the past 5 years

Thanks for the replies guys, are the ga15de's readily available in australia?

I know the ga16de's came in pulsars from memory, so i'd hazard a guess and say they'd be the same.
