  • This installment is a compete guide on how to diagnose/ replace an alternator on a 1990-1996 Nissan 300zx. In the video I go over the issues I randomly started having with my z32.
    I tried to make the video as simple as possible for everyone! thanks for all the love recently and we are pushing for that 5K mark!

    For me I pulled the clutch fan off and fan shrouds and pulled the alternator up through the top.

    Excellent video!!! I had the same symptoms I ignored them completely and i believe the bearings are busted in my alternator it wont even crank now the fuel pump just primes when I turn the key, also what is the red light that illuminates next to the abs at the top? Mines stays on a majority of the time while driving.

    Thanks for the video. It has been a long time (2007) since I last had the alternator out of my Z and well now (2021) I have to change it. I think I'll be pulling my radiator to get at mine, I have a hard pipe installed on my lower radiator so i think it will just be easier. I'm not being critical, but I was sure it was not called a peacock, it is a petcock (I thought it was called a pepcock). Anyway, I don't know if you noticed but @13:54 you can see the plugs silicon rubber weather packing is stuck in the old alternator. If it were my car I would be bummed, but I would be putting my car back on the ramps and placing that rubber seal back in the plug.

    When i use to work on my car i made ramps out of 12x2 with 18" long step ups to your desired height. Just drive on up and you have all kinds of room to work.

    Have a 1990 and my acceleration is tripping out. my car doesn’t accelerate well at lights and stop signs. It’s very sluggish. got battery and alternator tested at orielys today. Told me I had a bad alternator. My thermostat and headlights dim when I hit the breaks or when car is idle until get some gas. but do you think the alternator can affect the acceleration

      The car runs on the alternator when driving. I would def swap out and see if it fixes your issue
