I own a 1994 j30 the engine is the same one for the 1994 nissan maxima the only difference I can see in the alternators for both vehicles is about 70$ after core. Will the maxima alternator fit in my j30 ?

I can't say with certainty both share the same alternator (maybe someone else can chime in?). I would however advise to stick with a Nissan OEM remanufactured or new alternator. Aftermarket ones are known to cause problems on the J.

i am currently running an alternator out of a 96 maxima...however i had to buy a different plug and splice it into the original one as well as make a mounting bracket for it...
