Starter motor I.D

[haikii]

Ok it seems my one needs replacing.. . but after reading around it appears theres many different types.. and now I'm just ocnfused

and with my net failing ive just given up searching and figured id ask.

I need help identifying in which i need to get. perhaps a partnumber aswell could help?

I have a 4AGE 16V with a t50.

I have a forsales ad in the NSW section if theres any other info needed of I.D


Thanks alot.

edit: i've just called around just saying i got a 4age rwd. and i found place in stock. I've been quoted 95 plus trade in of my shonky one. i feel like I'm being ripped a little.. Do these go cheaper? although this one is reco'ed...

If thats a reco'ed starter for $95 its pretty cheap, especially if its got a new solenoid.

I replaced my starter solenoid for $80, which is 95% of what fails in the starter motors. To actually burn out the motor itself is pretty rare.

Second hand starters go from $40 - $100, but again the condition of the contacts in the solenoid would be unknown.

Oh ok. cool thanks man. The guy acutally said our one was different to the one he had when we brought it in but he'd recondition it for 110. .. figured might aswell..

Ok all sorted. thanks alot oly.

Jonny's article is good.

When mine died I went to the wreckers & bought a replacement - alledgedly an ae82 twincam starter. At least, thats what I asked for.

Was $40 with a 3 month warranty, otherwise they had reco'd ones for $90 (sounded too cheap though, I didn't believe it).

Anyhow it fit fine, the only difference was the location of the solenoid (is rotated around further on the starter housing than the "jdm" one I had) which made it harder to get in (had to remove oil filter, but still cleared extractors fine).

It didn't have the heat shield like some do (probably bad for longevity in the long run - but for $40 who cares?).
