Ok so I went to get a new alt the one I had tested bad so they gave me a new one that tested good before I put it on. Now I've put it on and its still doing the same thing..... not charging till revd to 3-4k...maybe its not the alt at all??

its a little annoying contstantly takin it out but i may have to do it

F@#$% i took it out and got it tested and its perfectly fine.... I really have no idea whats causing this!
Sep 24, 2012, 7:59 pm · #56
silly question but have you checked your gauge? test the volts from under the hood? seems simple but maybe worth a look
Sep 24, 2012, 8:08 pm · #57
They should be able to test it in the car too
Sep 24, 2012, 9:12 pm · #58
not the gauge its been tested in the car...thanks though
Sep 25, 2012, 3:44 pm · #59
So when tested in the car does it show no output till high revs? Think only thing that would do that is the voltage regulator which is part of the alternater. Hear any belt slipping?
Sep 25, 2012, 5:47 pm · #60
no belts slippin but ya it fails in the car unless i rev it then it passes....then take it out and it passes also...but when tested in car it says bad volt reg

Well not much to update picked up a full turbo lip kit in awesome shape and took the 12 to work and put the r200 in.....
Got it all bolted up and the r180 driveline doesn't bolt up...
Post Merge
Btw I used a z31 r200 s12 r200 diff mount z31 axles(same as s12 r200 axles) and for the driveline I think an SE is needed.
Jun 27, 2013, 2:14 am · #89
Turbo or SE rear driveshaft should do the trick :)
Jun 27, 2013, 3:29 pm · #90
Turbo drive shaft is the same as my r180 ca20 driveshaft I already tried it.
Jun 27, 2013, 4:50 pm · #91
Turbo driveshaft is r200, that one will work. You must have gotten another driveshaft then
Jun 27, 2013, 7:38 pm · #92
No it wont work with a z31 r200 I personally pulled the driveline from a turbo s12 not a match.
Post Merge
Im having a custom one piece driveline made anyway im sick of quessing what will work and delaying this anymore.
Jun 29, 2013, 12:26 am · #93
Well picked up the driveline today and went to put it in and the assholes made it too long...so now I have to wait till monday to get it fixed
Jun 29, 2013, 12:30 am · #94

Jul 1, 2013, 3:07 pm · #98
Well pickin up the driveline today hopefully it fits this time
Jul 6, 2013, 7:55 pm · #99
How'd it go?
Jul 6, 2013, 8:18 pm · #100
Terrible driveline fits but now ive found out the pinion bearings bad and whines the whole time I drive it...but thats what happens when you buy used. Were just gunna put the old r180 back in for now.... and either just do the bearing or lsd it and do the bearing all at the same time
