Alternator rebuild cost

[Riceburner]

I need a new voltage regulator and bearings in my 60amp 280zx Alternator, anyone had this done and know how much it'll cost.. Roughly?  I'm pretty sure it's a 280zx it has one way diode fitted.

Last time i had it done was $150.

Thanks mate, just weighing up weather I do it myself or not... For that sort of money I may have a crack at it

I've changed doides in an alternator myself once... just need a large ~100W soldering iron to do it properly.. Give it a go, its the only way you learn!

When my alternator carked it, It had a centripital fault, which apparently means it was spun @ too many RPM's

 

I bought a bosch 120amp unit and had an auto elec fit it correctly etc.

 

Not my twin tyhermos, stereo and the meagre draw the restr of the car has wont/cant kill the alternator.

 

more expensive than repairin, but you do get twice as powerful/brand new alternator.
