this happened to my little bro in his 93 SE 5spd. took it to the shop, they said oh it'll be about $100. then they looked again and said "oh wait... no. sorry $350." maximas use a nonstandard alternator, produces more power than most. i'm looking at remanufactured ones online right now and they're like $200 - $280, and that's not counting labor

It's not hard to install at all. All you gotta do is first, disconnect battery terminal, then disconnect all the wires that attach to the alternator, loosen the alternator tensioner so you can take the belt off of it(just have to take it off the alternator pulley). Then, just take the bolts out of the alternator to take it off( I believe there is one long one in the top of the alternator and then the piece that loosens and tightens the alternator belt on the bottom). Put your new one back on and you're set.
