Y60 TD42 Hitachi 70A Alternator Brush p/n

Post by spannercrab »

Just in case anyone ever needs to do a set of brushes on their standard 70A Hitachi / Nissan alternator (as I just did a few minutes ago - 205,000km is all I got out of the originals)

The P/N for the brushes is 22-71501
12 volt Hitachi
5 x 7 x 21.5mm brush size ...

Definately less than $10 ... and about 2 hours work ...

Was thinking about upgrading to the 110A Hitachi ... but compare $350ex. to $4.80 ... and the new brushes won the battle ...

The choice was:

Upgrade to Hitachi 110A for $350

or

Replace the brushes in my original 70A for $4.80


The $4.80 won the battle

Although $350 for a brand new 110A is a pretty good price ...

205k is not much but better than some get I understand, curious how did you treat it? winching? spotlights, mud?

My GQ with the same alt is at 205k also, thanks for the p/n, is it the genuine Nissan number or Hitachi.

cheers fnq

hi fnq,
Not much rough work ... apparently used to be a farm truck - very little offroad use at all. 2 x Hella 4000's are all the really high drain electricals on it ... some charging of the camper ...

no winching, no mud, being a diesel there is no ign. system to deal with either. 205k ain't great, but it's not too bad ...

That P/N is the genuine Hitachi P/N - not sure if Nissan stock them - I got them from Ashdowns (repco would be able to get them seeing as how the two are closely related).
If it's worth doing - it's worth doing to excess ...
