Hi all
just jumped forums from vic to nsw
i was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a good mechanic around cronulla area.
for me as im flyin up to sydney at the end of feb to collect my sisters car and drive it back down south .
but it needs a decent service before i attempt nine hours of driving. so any mechanics that you use would
be greatly appreciated not performance work shops just regular mechanics
cheers

why does it need a rewire what is its fault?
is it just a burnt wire or things not working???

the only gas in australia allowed for a/c in cars is r134a which is ozone freindly
no its quiet possible that you car had r12 in it which actually has a lower chill point.
so yes in theory there are colder a/c gasses. but no one is allowed to use r12 because it damages the ozone.
newer cars from around 1992 are r134 type systems. also you cant pop r12 into a r134 system as if there is resident r134 the two gases mix and cause major corrosion internally.i would take it to a auto elec who has experienced knowledge of a/c .ie knows the difference between out of gas and fooked a/c system parts.
you may well have a blend door motor issue . as they dont have a heater tap to turn off water to the heater core.
go and get it checked by a professional
my two cents.

Location
and whats the reason for sale??
-
head out to noojee from mt dandenong through yarra junction and powel town great road good corners and good speeds then for heavy steep cornering go up to mt baw baw the last 5 k is nuts near on vertical!!!
-
isnt mainly to do with the calirbrations of the dyno being relativly similar to the conditions and every thing else that determines the accuracy
-
take car to auto elec get them to quote rebuid and replacement and bosch unit wich is different make to your hitachi unit
rebuilds arent always the way to go now days
-
pretty sure the thermo fan will be triggered via a pressure switch may only work when pressure reachs certain range
it may just be low on gas and need regassing
most nissan fans dont run straght away they need to have elevated hi side pressures for the fan to cut in to get some air flow
i would get you air con checked out before you got replacing relays
-
been working there for the last 5 years in the dyno cells
not finalised if im goin this year may though

-
why does the tacho drop 1500 rpm at the 35 second mark??
now it can be a number of things doing but id rather see out the window to guage this speed better
-
well thats where i would be asking
specifcally what part has failed due to leak or just age
-
ok what is the actual fault?
ceized compressor?
leaking evapourator?
leaking tx?
drier gets replaced when compressor is done to have warranty but usually when you replcae the drier we recommend you replace the condensor which is infront of the radiator (removal of bumper which is about 1.5 to 2 hours ) to replace the evapourator you need to remove the entire dash board, center console and heater box which takes between 4 - 7 hours depending on how mucn of a PITA it is being!
have the done any checks of any sort ie with a/c guages? temporary regas with leak detectant dye to locate any leaks?
ef & el falcons are prone to leaking condensors along poor welds on let end tanks when we replace the replace the compressor & Drier as well, because of the change in a/c perfromance which if you don not replace the compressor you risk compressor failure which brings you back to square one because of debris being pumped around the system at my
work we charger about
1200 i think i cannot remember but thats aroundish
for a condensor and compressor replacement.
evappourator and compressor will be around the 1500- 1600 because we would also replace the condensor to avoid any comebacks. it is strange they want to replace the tx valve. we generally clean and re fit them. unless they have been working incorectly or look shabby we then only replace it.
to have the system flushed should really only be done if compressor has failed and there is deffinent evidence of deris.
i find it strange that they havent mentioned replacing the condensor as they cannot be flushed due to the fact they are parrallel flow ie have end tanks. debris will sit any where in them and if you cannot pass flush through them they will not ever be clean and eventually will cause failure of the compressor
any ways this is my opinion only but i believe you are being taken for a ride because they do not seem to have a idea of the type of a/c system
cheers!

where are you located ??

eddy must have found himself a new tuner
last time in the vh the engine was still on the original anthony roderigeous tune from two years ago ( of course with some tweaking but nothing major changed for two hole years) and still goin strong
the last time i saw eddy run his vh was probably the last time it made good horse power! - it was spewing water out every where and did its final two runs with the radiator cap loose
im sure that alternator tucked down there would be decent sucker 100amp or something
fuel pumps would cause a draw but the car only gets run flat piss for 30 seconds MAX at a time so the load would beable to be kept up with for that short while
any ways
will be very interesting to see him again at summernats should be a good show down with craig munros vx

i found with my tps when it played up the warning light would show
so usually i would get out unplug and replug it in
i found the problem to be the loom being on to tight a turn from the tps and causing bad connections in the plug so i moved the loom slightly tighten the pins in the tps and it hasnt played up since so it might be worth trying that first
-

Put in your street name and postcode and it will tell you the names and numbers of everyone in your street.
Or you can type in a phone number and it will tell you who the number belongs too.
may be usefull or just quicker to use than white pages
