The compreesor in my Cefiro recently gave out. I've been unable to find one the same so i'm using one from a R32. The only problem is the wiring. The Cefiro compressor has two plugs, both with just one wire. One of them is only connected on the compressor and seems to be an earth. The other acutally goes to the car. Nice and and simple. The R32 compressor has two plugs, one with one wire and the other with two. I have no idea what this second plug with two wires is for.

Any ideas?

I've found out what the second plug is. Its the overheat protection for the compressor. On the Ceffie compressor it was wired before the connector. The R32 it is wired in off the compresor. I just need the R32 wiring diagram and its sorted.

I've had a look at the wiring diagram for the R32's and I would actually suggest the 2 wire plug is for the "Active Full Auto AC" and there is no reference to any form of overheat protection. The AC system in the R32s has an auto amplifier which from what I can determine performs some very basic logic functions thanks to monitoring of a number of sensors like intake air temp sensor, fresh air sensor, engine temperature sensor (not the same as the ECU temp sensor) etc. It appears to control the compressor via the additional 2 wires (1 wire is a feed from the amplifier and the other is an earth).

From what I have read the cefiros don't have a digital AC system in which case you shouldn't need to connect the other 2 wires. I disconnected the 2 wire plug on the compressor in my R32 and the compressor kicked in fine when I operated the AC in manual mode.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
