i had 6 lightforce spotties, 2 worklights on the back running while idling and it died. so not that good. i replaced it with patrol 90amp havent had a problem since.

It's called Nissan Testing not Nissan Abusing

it only gets called abuse cause they cant handle the testing.

I have alot of gear in my car. Always running, including a 1000w amp..... I have a volt meter and it never drops under 13 volts with everything going flat out..... Never had a problem while running.

Just that one time i left the fridge going for a couple of days

do you have a dual battery system in yours?

Lil_Menace · Jul 24, 2009

No mate, but will be looking into it soon just to run a fridge for a longer time without charge.

joshy · Jul 25, 2009

The patrol alternator is a straight swap over. Picked it up off ebay. Id still prefer more amps when all the lights, fridge, inverter and everything else is going but ill see if a 2nd/3rd battery help.

what is the right technique to release pressure off the fan belt and idler pully to change alt or belt etc
thanks

Laith · Jul 26, 2009

A socket and breaker bar. Put it on the belt tensioner from underneath and push against the tension to loosen the belt. It's a bit of a PITA.

joshy · Jul 26, 2009

yea belts a mad pita to get the tension loose. i cant remember how i did it now
