OEM Alternator 2310M-0L706R Burnt
Back in 2003 I got the remanufactured 2310M-0L706R alternator installed for free during the recall. The 'R' at the end of the OEM # verifies it's not new but a remanufactured part. Nissan installed new diode kits on the recalled alternators.
Ten days ago I smelt something burning while heading to work. Due to the high voltaged 24F battery it started easily that evening but the Battery and Brake lights appeared. I knew immediately what the signal was.
When I made it home I measured the voltage while running the engine and it gave a mere 12.4V. I checked the 2 signal wires and they had continuity to their fuses. The charging wire measured fine to the POS battery terminal while the casing had zero resistance to the NEG battery terminal.
Even though it lasted over 100,000 miles I decided to throw in a new Duralast Gold alternator DLG13284.
The Autozone DLG13284 alternator has several advantages. It is new, less than half the price ($133), lifetime warranty, and it spits out 125amps.
Buying it online I got a 20% discount ($167 normal) and tax free that weekend (~$10).
The OEM 2310M-0L706R is remanufactured, costs $297, limited Nissan warranty, and only gives 110amps.
I installed it 9 days ago and it has held fine measuring 14.4V while idling. The only drawback was the metal mounting sleeve for the long mounting bolt was inserted backwards. After trying to reach the square headed nut for 10 minutes I pulled it out and realized the sleeve was reversed.

The rear reman calipers (C9188 & C9189) from autozone are a hit or miss. Over the last 5 years I've had to swap these lifetime warrantied calipers every 4 to 10 months. It's mostly due to the poor design of those 23 part calipers. Nissan no longer sells neither new nor reman calipers for the 4th GEN. The only other vendor that made new calipers for us was Dorman. They stopped manufacturing them 8 years ago. There are only a few new Dorman front calipers left on the market by their distributors. The rears have been gone for years.
I installed a reman alternator (PN 13402) from autozone on a 97 SE 2 years ago and we had to swap it 6 months later. The 2nd one has lasted ~18 months so far.

The best luck I've had with remanufactured parts is the Worldwide 11 tooth starter (PN 17232) I got at advanceauto 3 years ago. Others are the front reman calipers (C8170 & C8171) I got at autozone 4 years ago.

Really? I just asked the dealer two weeks ago about the cost of a rear one and said it was $3 and change but I would pay $2 and change. I was considering it due to the fact that everyone is saying here...these things seize very quickly and a re practically one time use from aftermarket rebuilds.

Nissan no longer sells our rear calipers 44001-31U13 (right) and 44011-31U13 (left). Only reman rear calipers can be installed. IDK what reman calipers they're offering you but they are not new. You're better off purchasing them from an autoparts store that offers unlimited lifetime warranty and DIY.
EDIT: If you are still driving with the OEM rear calipers then I recommend keeping those and repairing them with a caliper repair kit. Try the Carlson 10 piece repair kit (PN 15162) you can purchase at www.rockauto.com for $3.25 + S/H. You'll also need to purchase caliper grease and dot 3 brake fluid.
