What is the Genuine OEM factory alternator brand that Nissan shipped on their 2007 Nissan Maxima SE? I bought this car used, and the alternator recently went kaput, so I don't know if it is an aftermarket or factory alternator. This one I removed is a "VALEO" branded alternator.

Yes, it's Valeo. I was told it is exactly the same alt as Denso used on V6 Hondas, but was not yet able to verify that. If that is true, then a reman Denso from Amazon is a very cheap and quality alternative.

Last I saw Spider Marine had them cheap. Real thing.

I have experience with GM, Ford, and VW, but I fell in love with this Max and the body type. That is why Valeo is so new to me. Only problem is the previous owner neglected it. I rebuilt the calipers, replaced brakes, replaced power steering hose, bought new tires, replaced battery, and used a few cans of degreaser to get rid of a ton of power steering fluid buildup. The previous owner would use stop leak and just fill it back up until it ran out every month. It was caked on the alternator, and it's the reason why it bit the dust. I was planning on taking the genny to a shop if it's genuine because I'd rather have a used real deal part than 2-3 aftermarket generators. I want to get it right the first time so I don't have to remove the fan and radiator again! LOL I appreciate you guys for responding!

I checked out Spider Marine's website, but it's dead.
