Detailed Description
Part number 14592 is a remanufactured alternator from BBB Industries designed for vehicles originally equipped with a Hitachi charging unit. It features a conventional pulley, external fan, and internal regulator layout that aligns with the original electrical system on the Nissan Maxima and Nissan 280ZX applications listed below. The plug clock position is 1, and the unit is configured for clockwise rotation with negative polarity.
This BBB Industries REMAN ALTERNATOR is a direct-fit replacement for 1981-1984 Nissan Maxima and 1981-1983 Nissan 280ZX models that use a 60-amp charging system. This part cross-references Hitachi-style OE numbers such as LR160-82 and LR160-84 for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Low battery charging output
- Dim lights caused by weak alternator performance
- Battery warning light concerns related to charging system faults
- Voltage instability from a failing internal regulator
- Noise or belt-drive issues tied to worn alternator components
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify pulley style, plug clock position, rotation direction, and amperage rating before installation. This alternator uses a V-belt pulley and is not one-wire capable. Confirm the vehicle’s original Hitachi-style electrical connection and belt alignment to ensure proper fitment on the Nissan Maxima or Nissan 280ZX application.
