First jack up car then look on the passenger side of the car to find the alternator. there is a bracket right next to the crank pully going to the alternator. it is only one bolt. undo it. there is i believe a 15 mill bolt on top of the alternator with a lock nut on the back almost out of reach from the bottom. undo the bolt and the alternator will drop down into your hands. there is the tensioner bolt to tighten the belt on the bottom of the alternator you can loosen it up to make things easier on you. when the alternator is loose pull out gently as there is one clip connection and two ground bolts on the back of the unit itslef. undo all of these and slide your alt out the front. it may be easier to remove the clutch fan on the water pump pully first. (4 nuts)

SOURCE: Where can I find a steering rack for a 1988 Nissan

You should be able to find those parts at the local auto parts store such as autozone or rs strauss. If you can't find the parts there go to your dealers parts department.

Nissan 300zx transmission replacement

No, that is not true, you can only use one from another 300ZX, 1990-91 for a manual transmission, 1990-93 for an automatic. Also you have to get the one for if you have twin turbo, or one if you don't.

My 300zx's engine power drops...

You may be having an over heating issue. If it has a rattle noise coming from the engine then it may be overheating. It may also be a timing issue. Check into both of these and see if you cant find the problem. Hope this helps. Good luck.

91 Nissan 300zx weak grinding start.

Text from Nissan service manual troubleshooting section:
Step 1: Check to insure battery is 100% check voltage output. Should be up there at least 10 volts.

Step 2: Check starter

The guide continues, but one of these is your problem if your engine and system run fine after engine start.
