The Hitachi LR series of internally-regulated Alternator was first fitted to North American B210 for the 1978 Model year. It weighs about 2-1/2 pounds more than a stock Datsun 1200 35A model and about 1 pound more than an externally regulated 50A Hitachi. The LR160 60 amp model is physically identical, and was first used around 1983.

Physical Specifications
The LR150/LR160 came on newer A-series engines.
- LR160 - 60A, second from left
- Engine-mounting side is 80 mm (~3-3/16") in between ears, same as stock Datsun 1200
- 10.5mm diameter mount holes
- front flange (bolt ears) 13mm thick
- Adjuster ear 175mm (~6-7/8") across. The stock 1200 unit is smaller at 156mm (~6-1/8") from the mount ear.
- So you may need a late A12 adjuster and fan belt
- threaded for M8x1.25 bolt
- About 129mm diameter.
- Fan belt center: 29mm from front bolt face
- Pulley diameter: 69mm
Wiring
If you install an LR alternator with internal-regulator on a 1200:
- disconnect the voltage regulator
- On the B110 regulator harness that goes down to the engine, connect WB wire of connector to WR wire of connector:
- WR <--> WB
-
wiring jumper
- Logically, you are connecting the "L" (Lamp) of new alternator to "L" (Lamp) of the wiring harness which is connected to the IGN switch. Be sure to use the original Datsun 1200 wiring harnesses as the "L" wire color WR is a switched source in the harness. Only one jumper wire is needed.
Some prefer two wires:
- Jump W to Y wires
- Jump WR to WB wires
wiring diagram:
Store-bought version ($30) of jumper wire
You can buy one mail-order from Bprojects. Endo will take care of you, send an email to Bprojects.
Price: 5,250yen (about $52 USD)
Automatic Choke
NOTE: If your Datsun was factory-equipped with Automatic Choke, a second jumper is needed.
With LR alternator: On the carburetor, unplug the electric choke. Make a new jumper wire from the choke to the ballast resistor (12V side).
With the original LT-series alternator, this was connected to the Nuetral wire. See Alternator_Wiring#Automatic_Choke_Relay.
The choke relay is wired differently on LT-series and LR-series applications. So the easiest way is to bypass the relay.
Troubleshooting
1. Check the Voltage at the alternator. Between the BAT terminal and the E terminal (earth/ground) there should be the same V as at the battery. If not, you got a wiring problem.
2. The S terminal should be 12V hot when key is turned to IGN
NOTE: on the B310 with this, S is hot all the time either way will work
3. The L terminal (Lamp) should be:
- 0V when key is turned OFF
- 12V (more or less) when key is turnd ON
Because the L terminal is the exciter, if your CHG lamp is burned out, the Hitachi LR won't charge.
