Guest Pegasus76 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Is it possible to switch a GM alternator at 66amps off a corvette with a 85 Nissan 300ZX Non Turbo stock Alternator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bang847 Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 why go to a low amprage GM alternator? get a cop one that is rated at 100+ amps... if you dont want to spend alot then why not replace it with a OEM? I think all the nissan alternators are rated higher than 66amps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Not sure about the 300Zx alternators, but I put a 90 amp maxima alternator on my 280ZX. It mounts the same, I had to fab up a connector to connect it up since the plugs are different. If you have a friendly parts house in your area, they should be able to tell you what alternators have what rating and you should be able to match up something with yours. You may have to swap pulleys, but it can be done. I got mine at advance. Most of the stuff has 60 amp ratings until about 87, and then they went up. That is the maxima year I am using. 87 and I think the pulley I used is off an 84 Maxima, but not sure. I just swapped pulleys with the local alternator shop. Which ever route you go, you will like having a stronger output alternator. My headlights are much brighter. There is another pretty long post out there from a few weeks back you could look at if you did a search. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
