If you insist on a rebuilt, don't go for the lowest price. Rebuilt alternators and starters are a crap shoot. Cheap replacement components and poor reassembly are common even when an OEM core is used. Be ready to swap out a few rejects before getting a good one that lasts more than a month. Is it worth your time and effort? And those lifetime warranties they come with are bogus indicators of quality.

Unless Nissan or an authorized reseller offers a "certified" rebuilt at lower cost you should reconsider the new alternator. Don't forget to get the charging circuit checked.
