Aircon Removal

[bnr#@]

Is there any tricks in removing the aircon from an r 32 GTR or is it just a matter of getting the gas drained and the removing the pump, cooler etc

nope....like you said just get gas drained (of course you would never just let it out....) pull all the bits off and off you go.

If you want to pull the unit from under the dash that is a bit harder, the fan mounts to the aircon unit so you would have to make a braket to hold it in place afterwards.

Pretty straight forward, but a bit fiddly if you want to keep the lines in one piece to sell/use later. When I helped my mate remove it from his DR30 we suspected it to be empy as it didn't work... Wrong. It promtly pissed all over him and the engine bay lol.

How many kg's can be had from the unit under the dash?

[Duncan]

I didn't weigh it but 3-5kgs.....a lot of stuffing around to get it out unless you happen to have the dash out to put a cage it

Cool, cheers guys. don't plan on taking anything out of the dash, just want to remove all the bits and pieces in the engine bay for obvious weight benefit and less cluster
