Im about to bury my alternator in the garden (type & year unknown)...
I'd like to go to my local wreckers, but I'd like a few options as to what other alternators from different cars will fit an L -series, Im looking for at least 70-80amps.
Can we start a list perhaps & maybe make this a sticky ?  (Im expecting at least a handfull from Dimitri  8))

Love the title Chris!
I'll be removing my engine from my 240Z very soon so then I will be able to have a good close look at my alternator. It is from a 280ZX and apparently they came with a couple of different models. The one I have is the smaller or later model but what I have to have a close look at is the part or model number. With my voltmeter and all the powered things running off my zed (ECU, 2 fuel pumps, injectors list goes on etc) the volts never go below 13.8V. I'll post as soon as I know and take a close up pic.

Hi Chris,

I found this source here to be very good:

I bought an LR170 300zx 70amp model new for about $250 (trade price), same as this one here (   http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nissan-300ZX-Navara-Pathfinder-Pulsar-N13-Alternator-/280531590493?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4150fc5d5d   ) and I just need to get a wiring connector from a wrecked 300zx to make it neat cause I don't want dodgy connections. The alternator came with a performance test sheet and allegedly puts out 85amps from 5000rpm upwards, 15-20 amps idle and 24amps at 1800rpm when the regulator kicks in. It will hopefully be much better than the crappy 50amp I have that wont keep a battery charged between race events!

I heard that the Holden VL alternator was an option too (and the starter motor)...
