1968 L60 Starter Motor

Post by Slackd »

Looking for some guidance on starter motor replacement…

A month or so ago my Hitachi starter motor went out (busted drive). I took it to a Tallahassee starter/alternator shop and they could not find any parts and/or replacement.

On 60patrol I read a post with this Amazon link for replacement:
https://www.amazon.com/DB-Electrical-SH ... B00AWMRLGM

I ordered and received but does not fit and is quite a bit smaller than my original unit.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Dave

Sorry that you're having starter issues. I know there are a few different links for starters, I'm not sure about this Amazon one.

Accordig to the link in Amazon, it should work. I still have one on my spare parts with the markings S114-184. I brought mine from overseas, from a ‘74 model I totalled. I have swapped both.

Don’t worry about the size. It’s deceiving but actually is a more powerful one: 1.2kW of the newer model vs 1 kW of the old one.

Nissan fitted the newer model in 1973.
