Hi.
My 93 Maxima GXE with 90A alternator when for 110,000 miles 13 years and diode dies. Rebuilt alternator for ebay (place in Los Angeles) when 30,000 miles in 6 years and is giving up the ghost.

Got a CarPartsWholesale ebay new (not rebuilt) that a 95A (similar to LR195-701) for the Bose Nissan that has two larger front lugs (12.5mm thicker) --called before ordering and gave VIN but that didn't seem to help. The new alternator would need at least 2 longer M8(1.25 pitch?x45mm) bolts, but can I use an OEM tensioning bracket from courtsey nissan parts 11715-J30002 ($20) to offset the 12 mm extra thickness of the new alternator? Or can I stick a 12mm shim/block under the current bracket and use a longer bolt(M8x1.25x25mm)? Any premade, drilled shims?

Local parts stores said their lifetime warranty is free replacement during the first 3 years. Expect 4 years before the rebuilt alternator dies. I want to use a new alternator. There's also new TYC alternators for $150. Any good?

After looking the mounts and alternator lugs over, it can be done except for grinding each of the alternator's 2 lug down a half inch. Moving over the adjustment bracket will get in the way of the AC belt. Too much modification and voiding the warranty. I found a new direct replacement (TYC brand) on Amazon for $110 including shipping. The wrong part one (for SE instead of GXE) is being returned gratis.

If the fit chart doesn't distinguish between the SE and GXE alternator watch out.
