  1. Hey everyone my first post on here. I'm in the process of swapping out the alternator in my 88 GL with one from an 88 Maxima got the tip off from this site actually as posted by GeneralDisorder. I have a question I couldn't find the answer to in the original thread from 2009 so I figured I'd post this. If this is better left in the comments of the other thread I can delete this, but I wasn't sure where to post exactly...anyway the long awaited question. The GL alternator has this (I think it's some sort of relay?) thing on the back and I'm wondering if I need to move it over to the Maxima alternator because it doesn't have that part. not sure if it's necessary and it doesn't look like the Maxima alternator has bolts that are long enough to accommodate it, but I figured I would ask. I've attached pictures of the back of both alternators for reference. < OLD ALT with thing < NEW ALT no thing
  2. I scored a 95 amp alternator from a friend for -=FREE=-. It's off of a 96 Ford Ranger. (Why couldn't he own an Altima?) Fabbing up some brackets to mount it will be a cinch. However, I don't have the slightest clue how to wire it up. I searched and found plenty of info on Altima and GM swaps. Most are so old though, the pictures (link) are dead... But nothing on what wire is for what. And yes. Google returned some images that confused me even more. (But that's for a different forum.) The first thing I noticed, the Subi's alternator has a bolted on wire and a plug for 2 wires. Also a separate ground wire. The new alternator off the Ranger has a plug for three wires, another plug for 1 wire and big bolt on wire. I can guess that the bolt on connections & ground are the same. But what colored (old) wires go to, what connection? And it appears I'll be a few wires short... Can somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks! -Tim
