go to the wreckers and look on some delux mods not dattos nower sigmas hav 55s i think look around u can buy big ones new off ashdowns in syd

i heard the 720 ute have altonater that fit the 1200s

i am pretyy sure you can increase your amps in the ALT

ya can fit in a vk commadore one or a xe falcon one without to many mod's. You can even get a 125amp vk model but it costs bout $350

VK, are you sure thats what you meant to write, im doubting it, it would be good though, you could get one at the wreckers for $30

you must have meant VT or VX surely, vk isnt even injection

EA falcons have 75-85amp, i put a mounting diagram in my gallery a while ago for one of these, thats what i currently use

I've change my ute alternator too. I got it from a store that sells imported used engine and engine parts for US$30. It have a nissan logo and I suspect that it could have come from any of these nissan bluebird, cefiro or altima.

It is a rated 90amp alternator....my life have never been better since - quick charging of my batteries, no more problems with all (lights on high beam, wiper on fast mode, aircon on - a typical drive during a rainy night).

Best of all, it fits right in without any modifications. I brought my old unit along so I could check if the mountings are the same.

One more thing, there was no need for the bulky voltage regulator of the old alternator because the new models comes with an internal "IC" voltage regulator.

The electrical shop charged me about US$3 to place it but I think you can DIY it.

hey rally car, is your set up legal, or to make it roadworthy would you need a proper bracket made up???

not sure, what makes you think that???

nothing really, just from the pic u drew it looked a litttle unstable, but if I saw it first hand, of how you got it in, then I would prolly understand that it's all fine

If its in 'it fits in' it cant b iligal? no one could defect u 4 a dodgy alt as long as it works! vk does come with efi too.
