so i had my alternator go on me last week, never had to fix one myself before so i figured it would be a good time to learn, that and i wasn`t about to pay nissan $440+instal to do it. so i went to parts source and picked one up for $270. i cannot believe how difficult that bloody things was to remove and put back in. i had to remove my cold air intake, upper and lower rad hose and the battery. so ya just my little rant and if anybody has ?`s about doing it if they have the same problem just feel free to ask. :drinkers:

I had to replace mine, and yet it was a BITCH. After that I didnt tighten the belt properly, so I went through about 3 belts too.
