I AM HAVING A DRAMA WITH VOLTAGE DROP WHEN DRIVING, I RECENTLY REPLACED MY ALT. BELT AND HAVE SINCE ADJUSTED AND APPLIED BELT GRIP TO ENSURE NO SLIPPAGE. MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT I AM RECIEVING CHARGE AT IDLE (VERY CONFUSED). THE CAR IS SEEING AN AUTO ELECCY NEXT WEEK BUT THOUGHT SOMEONE MAY BE ABLE TO NARROW PROBLEM DOWN FOR ME!!!!. VOLTAGE STARTS AT AROUND 12.6 AND DROPS TO 11ISH VOLTS AFTER AROUND 25KMS OF DRIVING WITH NO ACCESSORIES ON. THANKYOU FOR ANY INFO YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE

Yep - I agree about the brushes. I did
mine in the bush. Can be a bit tricky pulling the tails back to get the commutator back in place. Another pair of hands and thin wire or fishing line is handy.
Should be about an hour's work fopr an auto-sparky.
If you can't get Nissan brushes you can use Toyota ones but you 'll have to shorten 'em by about 4 mm. My old GQ is still running with Toyota brushes in it. Good as gold.
