Hey guys

did a search but didnt come up with anything (unless i did it wrong)

where can i get a cheap air-con re-gas just in time for the late summer? I was quoted at $120 from a mechanic which shall remain unnamed, there's gotta be a place cheaper than that... right?

You can get one for around 3000yen (almost $AU40) in Japan (Rezz can you confirm me on that or am i wrong?)

Thanks in advance.

Y@$

My car had already been converted to 134A apparently, but went to regas, left it there and was told at the end of the day that my condensor (?), what looks like a mini radiator, had a hole in one of the top tubes and cannot be welded due to the metal used and needed to be replaced. Does this sound right to anyone? If so.. does anyone have a spare they can sell me?

I have condensors for 32 n 33 damono ..

if car was on r12 it will need change over Josh ...

I know f**k all about air con gas.. Is that what most of them come like from japan?

spose I can have a look and see if its written anywhere on there... :P

ayah auto.

These guys are top blokes. regassed my a/c for $50.

apparently u dont need to get them retrofitted if uve got an old one neither. Its all a BS scam. all a "retrofit" is, is replacing broken/ worn out components. These guys will suck out all the old gas and pressure test ur a/c + regas it. I had it on a 89 silvia for 13 months no issues.

Retrofitting is the biggest scam and it pisses me off that ppl rip off unsuspecting hard workin folk by chargin them $300+ for nothing.

These guys are in malaga and although the name might sound weird, they are top blokes, even drive hsv's.

Cheers

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
