Product Details
This Remy starter is built for 1979-1981 Nissan 310 models and is listed for N/A position fitment. The design details matter for starter replacement: voltage, rotation direction, nose cone style, and pinion tooth count all need to match the vehicle’s original configuration. Part number 16579 is also cross-referenced to Mitsubishi-style starter numbers such as M2T10071 and S114-161 for the same application.
Remy Premium Remanufactured focuses on remanufactured electrical components, and this starter follows that product line approach with OE-based specifications for charging and starting system service. Use 16579 when you need a replacement starter for a Nissan 310 starter motor application that matches the listed Mitsubishi OE reference.
Common Starting Issues This Starter May Address
- Engine cranks slowly or inconsistently
- Starter motor clicks without turning the engine
- No-crank condition caused by starter wear
- Intermittent starting from worn internal starter components
- Replacement need after electrical starter failure
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the original starter’s voltage, rotation, nose cone type, and pinion tooth count before installation. Confirm fitment for 1979, 1980, and 1981 Nissan 310 models, and compare the OE reference numbers to the removed unit before mounting. Because this application is listed with N/A position, match the starter to the vehicle’s original configuration rather than a side-specific location.
