Nissan or Hitachi starter?

[Garey Guzman]

I have the Toyota Corolla starter on my Swift and Zink but it doesn't fit in my March VFF due to the chassis brace under starter.

The starter that was in the car had "240Z" written on the custom nose piece. I've read in old threads that it needs to be the Nissan starter with two-piece nose housing but the Rockauto starter I got didn't have that and had a different solenoid than my current. The solenoid is the problem on my car.

Can anyone confirm the starter Part number or vehicle application for the right starter?

from what I can see of the solenoid on that unit you have a hitachi starter.
my experience is that the motor and gears are ok, but hitachi solenoids are junk at best

Denso much better

Marc Bushman is the guy to get a very good denso unit from

OR, contact Pete @ totalprecisionengines.com---he was selling a unit with an internal solenoid

Yes, it's Hitachi, as stated in the title. But as mentioned, the ND (Toyota type) won't fit. Both my cars with the NDs have room for the big ND solenoid to the bottom of the car. My March doesn't so I need to stay with the Hitachi.

Further research based on the numbers in the nose casting show that the 16584 (Lester #?) is the one I need. I'm not interested in a high dollar starter for a stock-compression engine. I need to be frugal for some of the other high-dollar stuff needed!

Garey:

Buy a Bosch reman part number SR140X starter. You are right to ask for a Lester number of 16584 (industury number) . It was OE back in the day and used on 240X thru 280X Datsuns. Bosh does more than just wash off their re-manufactured parts ...you get a new solenoid and other new parts....not a cheapo "rebuilt" motor. In Lester there are two types of intermediate adapters...it does not matter because you have the parts that you have now. If you need a second starter you might look for the EARLY intermediate adapter and you can still can get front adapters from Tilton 54-4xxxx Series staters (now discontinued).

Remove your flat adapter and also the intermediate adapter on your starter as shown above on your picture.....and use the NEW motor and solenoid and the lever. I suggest you use and drill and tap the 1/4" NC on the long thru case bolts and drill the heads for safety wire. It helps support the starterand the bolts will not un-screw.

Try looking at a Speedwell Starter. Great customer service too!

Is the 11/16 wrench just there because or is it a permanent installation?

That is welded to the motor mount nut so that the nut can't spin off.
Or it's an observation test....
