The Best Guide to Diagnose/ Replace an Alternator on a Nissan 300zx in 15 minutes!

[@JLRivs23]

Yo I literally got this as a recommended video yesterday, watched it, and today my Z started doing exactly what yours was. What a coincidence...

[@ZBruhzchannel]

I hope it helps!

[@TheSydguy30]

Thanks for the great video mate, with videos like this It actually makes working on our own cars possible lol

[@ZBruhzchannel]

That's the goal!!

[@cristianduran4724]

U got the best videos on the 300zx thank you 🙏🔥

[@tahuyaguy]

Thanks for the video. It has been a long time (2007) since I last had the alternator out of my Z and well now (2021) I have to change it. I think I'll be pulling my radiator to get at mine, I have a hard pipe installed on my lower radiator so i think it will just be easier. I'm not being critical, but I was sure it was not called a peacock, it is a petcock (I thought it was called a pepcock). Anyway, I don't know if you noticed but @13:54 you can see the plugs silicon rubber weather packing is stuck in the old alternator. If it were my car I would be bummed, but I would be putting my car back on the ramps and placing that rubber seal back in the plug.

Yoooo now way I need to change my alternator rn lol Thanks for the video bro

[@ZBruhzchannel]

Anytime!

[@derrtystunt101]

Excellent video!!! I had the same symptoms I ignored them completely and i believe the bearings are busted in my alternator it wont even crank now the fuel pump just primes when I turn the key, also what is the red light that illuminates next to the abs at the top? Mines stays on a majority of the time while driving.

[@sailingblacklotus]

For me I pulled the clutch fan off and fan shrouds and pulled the alternator up through the top.

[@DannyDVeteranO5]

Thanks for this video! I also will have to replace the alternator on my twin turbo Z32.

[@937wigger]

Always coming through with the A-1 content bruh. Great vid.

[@jaescorner2466]

Have a 1990 and my acceleration is tripping out. my car doesn’t accelerate well at lights and stop signs. It’s very sluggish. got battery and alternator tested at orielys today. Told me I had a bad alternator. My thermostat and headlights dim when I hit the breaks or when car is idle until get some gas. but do you think the alternator can affect the acceleration

[@ZBruhzchannel]

The car runs on the alternator when driving. I would def swap out and see if it fixes your issue

[@SouthEastStanger]

When i use to work on my car i made ramps out of 12x2 with 18" long step ups to your desired height. Just drive on up and you have all kinds of room to work.

[@bigglohemi]

Yeah that would be nice if my emergency brakes actually worked 🙃

[@yasuke2445]

You from mass bro?

[@Morm1175]

I have a 93zx NA. Every time I start the car it will start and turn off but on the second time it will start normal. Does anyone else have the same issues or any suggestions to fix it?

[@mikeytorres5414]

I have questions for my z32 1990

[@jazminsanchez8046]

Did you have to replace the stock alternator? How ling did it last you til u had to replace it?

[@juans-life]

@6:44 lookin for a bracket on my ZX right now that isn’t there just like half the other crap on this car 😂

[@tigwelding123]

It's a little weird I never had to drop the sway bar to get my alternator out of my 300zx

[@ZBruhzchannel]

I've always had trouble trying to shimmy it through, so I found out if you take one bolt out makes it so easy

[@tigwelding123]

@@ZBruhzchannel when I had to do my alternator people were saying take the sway bar off I could get the old alternator through without doing that it is a tight squeeze though

[@tigwelding123]

👍💪💯

[@ThatNewYorker]

I think I have that same exact power steering leak. I’m going on my 3rd alternator in a year 😭

[@JasonLee-lv7tm]

Stop buying from Autozone

[@DreamPursuits]

The top bolt in the back is a pain

[@bernabecruzjr]

how did u get it done? i’m struggling

[@DreamPursuits]

@@bernabecruzjr 5 trips to harbor freight lol but a ratcheting wrench did the trick after a good soar neck

[@Baabyvon]

Nice wheel

[@ZBruhzchannel]

Thank you!!

[@Nato_543]

I’m mad you didn’t show the connection for the ground and plugs

[@ZBruhzchannel]

Sorrrrryyyy!

[@tubbz2335]

Literally the most difficult part of the whole process, got the alternator disconnected in 30mins and the plugs alone took another hour

[@yasuke2445]

I have a z31 I need help with

[@ZBruhzchannel]

Unfortunately I have never worked on a z31 so I wouldn't be that much of a help. Best bet is to do some research online!

[@yasuke2445]

Should def link get the Z’s together once I get her back good

[@yasuke2445]
