reman is reman? Yup, would never use aftermarket reman on my car.
Ever notice how a Honda can last 200K miles until people start throwing aftermarket parts on it and within a year they think the car is a pile of crap because they need to keep replacing CV joints, alternators, starters, etc? If they'd maintain their Honda with Honda parts they'd get 300K+ with very infrequent repairs needed. "Lifetime warranty" is a sham that just means you'll be spending a lifetime under your car with their parts.
My 300ZX (many years ago) nearly burned to the ground due to a reman alternator. The reman sandblasted the piss out of the big +12 stud isolator ring, causing it to fail and allowed the +12V stud with a 6AWG cable to short to chassis ground setting my engine bay harness on fire. 2 big wires that aren't fused in most vehicles: starter and alternator.
I don't know if Nissan still offers them, but you could get Nissan reman alternators and starters. Way better than aftermarket and not full of sandblast media.
As I recall, the real pisser of the 300ZX story....the Nissan reman alternator was CHEAPER than the aftermarket reman. Of course the wiring harness was $$$$$, AutoZone did pay for the harness.
