Is Nissans coil in the alternator?

The answer is: no

Explanation:

An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. It consists of a rotating magnetic field which induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a stationary conductor. An ignition coil is a type of electrical transformer used to induce a high-energy electrical current from a low-energy electrical current. Ignition coils are used in internal combustion engines to create an electrical spark that ignites the fuel mixture in the engine's cylinders. Therefore, ignition coils are not located inside alternators.
