i am looking to install a mini type alternator in a 280z race car. It should be NO MORE than 35 amps................. does anyone know what alternator may bolt up to the z?

i understand that aftermarket companies supply upgraded alternators - however they are all way to large. i do NOT need 90 amps or anything even close.

it should be a small one like this;

mini alternator

If it's the weight your concerned with quit racing for food and buy an aircraft gel battery.

I installed an alternator from a Kawasaki Ninja on our Z. There is a thread about at HybridZ: Alternator Swap - S30 Series - 240z, 260z, 280z - HybridZ

This alternator is typically available on Ebay (used) for $150 to $200. If you keep your eyes open you find them for under $100 now and then.
