Not sure, but I know if they were 4 lug, I'd rock em

Only if you used an L series or A series reman

I will be. I'll also be finding which company re manufactures them and I'll be contacting them demanding they refund my alternator or provide me with one that isn't going to kill my car

For the time being, I will HIGHLY suggest that you guys DO NOT buy any re manufactured Datsun/Hitachi alternators through Autozone! The vendor that provides us has a serious problem with their remans. In particular, part numbers 14303 and 14385. 14303 is an L series 60 amp. I've been through 4 of them. Last one had an internal short and smoked up. 14385 is an A series. This is the real problem alternator. I JUST installed one today on my A15 210, drove for about 4 miles, and MonkeyGirl turned to me, asked me what smelled funky. I stuck my head out the window, took a sniff, looked at my volt gauge that read 12V (read 14.8V leaving the driveway) and pulled into a parking lot. Jumped out, pupped the hood and the alternator was quite hotter then young Japanese hookers, and was producing a small cloud of smoke. I had someone bring me my end wrenches and original alt, swapped it on and drove home with no issues. Again, I would highly suggest you do NOT buy AZ re-manned Hitachi's. I know, I work for the company, but I still don't want Ratsun'ers rides catching fire I am beyond pissed off. Also, this is not to say don't buy any for your Maxima, Titan or other daily driver. The two I/R alts above are the only problems I have seen so far

Friends got one locally. I'll see if he wants it gone.

damn! sweet deal. Hope you got them when I can afford them.

Guess it's time we just post boobs till it dies/gets locked.

This threads still goin?

ollz I was just testing you Skib I can ID you, Kami, Noob, Atom, and a few others. Cereal though, I would be up there with all the other Datsuns already if I could I could use a hand assembling this LZ. I've never built an OHC, So the thing is confusing

You're supposed to leave them a little loose the the wheel can turn right? :rofl:

I coulda sworn that was my high school auto tech teacher

Don't laugh Skib, You and Kami stick out like Datsuns at a Honda party :rofl:

The teasing needs to stop Just show us already!

Right side just above the cab of the blue truck. What do I win?

Where did you pick up the collars at? Local or online?

Make sure to take LOTS of pics during dissasembly. It really does help if you get in a bind during reassembly.

Very small displacement V8. Bet it's a blast to drive.

Are the Z and early KA 5 speeds the same length?

You'll want to get it jetted, but I'm sure it will be just fine.

I saw one on CL a few months back. Alsmost wanted to sell my car and buy it, but it didn't look healthy.

Always wanted one of those. Good on ya for picking one up!
