James, The are a couple of Aussie Datsuns that have starter that are very similar to the FJ, a couple that I know of are the L24E (Skyline R30) and L28E out of a ZX. I'm not sure if they are identical to the FJ (DR30 version) but they've got to be close as they both will fit on a L series as does a FJ starter. Naps(Z) starters are no good for L or FJ as the solenoid fitting wont clear the block.
Can't say that I've ever checked the voltages on a FJ starter, never needed to as I've never seen one that doesn't work and they work real well - you can drive a 1600 in 2nd gear up a kerb with one as the FJ starter is one of the best out there and they're nearly burst proof. Eccentric starters from my experience with them only ever develop one small problem over time and that is the they wear out the two small copper tags that get thumped by the solenoid pin when you hit the Starter switch. These little tags complete the circuit to the starter but the constant violent contact doesn't do them any good over time. Denso (Toy) starters are the same as are H*ndahs, we put the H*ndah tags in Denso starters as they last twice as long as the Toy Denso ones and a good auto spark will know what goes in a Nissan starter. Gibbs Auto at Belco in the Carco centre are good guys and know there stuff. regards, Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Swann, James Sent: Wednesday, 24 July 2002 9:38 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: FJT Starter Issues **************************************************************** IMPORTANT The information transmitted is for the use of the intended recipient only and may contain confidential and/or legally privileged material.

I've got 12 volts at the solonoid where the battery cable connects but when I've got the key in the start position the bolt below that transfers power from the solonoid to the main part I can only register around 7 volts. Is this normal???? (I compared to my et turbo and they both register 12 volts). The car sounds like a battery is flat but I know it isn't (cos I've tried more than 1 battery) Do I have anyother options than getting an FJ starter, a sparkie told me that a Series 3 bluebird would be the one to get is this correct????
