[Intermittent no crank no start]

I have a stock 92 with TD27T engine and had the same behavior. There is an intermittent hard starting in the morning. Checked the battery voltage and it is at 12VDC. I noticed that whenever I turn on the AC, the voltage drops to 11VDC and sadly to 9VDC at night. I had a suspicion that it is the alternator that is not correctly charging the battery but it gives a charge of 12V. I had it checked by a friend who is an automotive technician. He disassembled everything. Checked the IC regulator, the winding and armature and it is all good. He noticed that there a burned bolt for the alternator ground. The technician replaced the bolt with an ordinary one lying on the shop. Re-assembled the alternator and did a bench test and was able to generate a 13.6VDC. Returned the alternator to the engine and started the engine. It started to generate the 13.6VDC~14.5VDC. That fixed the problem.

Hi. Mabuhay to all from Gen. Trias Cavite, Philippines.Owning a Nissan Terrano Diesel is just a dream for me when it was first launch in Japan. Did not expect to have one after. I hope I can see alot of DIYs for this truck.
