Posted: Mon Aug 19, 2013 8:08 pm Post subject: I feel a bit of knob writing what I did - I only had to do some proper investigations.. and I found the diode rectifier was faulty. Getting a new one proved tricky because they are not available anymore (for the UZZ32). However a 90-92 alternator for a MR2 happens to have near identical parts from its Nippon Denso alternator. Whilst the alternator itself isn't a fit, the diode rectifier, the brushes and the regulator are. I canibalised a MR2 alternator and rebuilt my one. Result! Works fine now. Done 1200 miles and all well. _________________ Jake Purches 'The Prof'

Ok, that number was wrong, it was the part for the 31. I had to send it back.
I have sourced the right parts for the 32 alternator from someone here.
The parts are as follow:
Brush holder 39-8203 Regulator 15-8351 (same as for the 31). Rectifier Transpo CN-INR736-0073 (this is 32 specific with right angle rear external connection, not straight out as with the 31, which has the big wire on the side).
My alternator is now up and running perfectly.
Note: When you undo your lower engine mounts make sure you undo the transmission mount too, so as to allow the motor to tilt without straining your mounts.
