Z31 alternator not charging battery
Ok my little brother just bought a turbo Z31 and for some reason the alternator wont charge the battery. When we bought the car the owner said that he changed the alternator and battery and it still wont hold a charge to be able to run the car for long periods of time. Any suggestions on what it might be? Would it be a hard job for us to do? Where should i look and what should i look for? Any advice on this would really help! Thanx!

Like AZ said it is very common to buy a bad alternator i just had to put one in my 87 300ZX. It is a pretty easy installation if you have a lift, if not its just a pain to do it on the ground. Also i noticed it my connector there was a little bit of corrosion, if you run into that clean out the corrosion and make sure the connector snaps into place correctly, and when u tighten the tension on the belt its always better to have less slack then to tight u can just go back and make adjustments

There's sections in both about charging systems. Read read read.

Have you made any large eletrical changes? (Stereo, amp, subs, iPhone charger, etc.) There's an easy mod. To. Larger Maxima Alternator. Check ZBUMs site.. I think he has the bracket and year of alternator to purchase.
