November 9, 201411 yr Could you post a picture of a "Custom Bracket extension" please? Sam You can actually see it in the first pic. He just added a piece to be able to adjust the belt by the looks of it.
November 9, 201411 yr Is there any chance that someone cost post up a picture of what one of these Maximas looks like? We didn't get the "Maxima" in Aus until the next model, but this isn't to say that we didn't get it just under a different name.

November 10, 201411 yr Down underneath the car and it sucks. I bought a reman instead for about $80.00 but mine is only 90 amps I think. Edited November 10, 201411 yr by Crazyeights
November 10, 201411 yr Just Google 1996 Nissan Maxima ok. did that & getting 2 lots of pics, some of which include the model we got here, and some which look different. Maybe it would be better to ask which engine, because the body type is irrelevant
November 11, 201411 yr Author From the 1996 it was easy it is on top/front, from a 95-pre it is on bottom, but the early years mount up easier to our ea82.
November 18, 201411 yr NIce work and thanks for posting the photos. Yes nice and clean engine - very nice! Did you do that because the stock alternators are no longer available, price, or to have better AMPS for offroad lights, winch, etc? Thanks
November 18, 201411 yr All can be explained here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/97208-bolt-in-ea-series-alternator-upgrade-nissan-maxima-alt-installation-guide/. Super easy and well worth it swap. NIce work and thanks for posting the photos. Yes nice and clean engine - very nice! Did you do that because the stock alternators are no longer available, price, or to have better AMPS for offroad lights, winch, etc? Thanks Stock alts are still available, but close enough in price to be worth just swapping one on, and yes more amps to run stereo, lights, and winches. With normal use it makes it so the lights don't dim when using turn signals or have your stereo on since you have a few extra amps to handle it. Why is there a need to swap the pulley? What comes stock? Because the stock pulley is setup for a regular v-belt while a maxima's is iirr a 5 rib belt.
