Air con guy recommended in on this site cant find any suppliers with rebuild parts for these compressors, and he's been told that there's only two new ones left in Australia and they're $1450 each. He's been told after they're gone there wont be any more.

Does anyone have other options? Are they available in Japan (my mate has a Japanese wife, so i should be able to bring one in). Has anyone substituted an alternative compressor?

Cheers,

Kot

fixed mine myself. The coil usually comes loose and breaks the copper wire that is riveted to the case. Soldering iron out plus some high temp silicone to reglue dounut coil to metal mount, aircon regassed and good as new.

The coil seems to pull itself away from mount over time(years) when it tries to marry the metal clutch 1000's of cycles. The heat and movement gradually breaks the adhesive that holds the coil and that in turn breaks the wire.

There is a thread on rebuilding the magnetic clutch coil, more info in that if you want it.

My compressor is dead in my r32 gtst and went to a few ac workshops. Some quoted $400~ to rebuild the dead compressor, or you can search the forum/wreckers for 2nd hand compressors. Contact some import wreckers if they have any in stock :O

See them floating around the forum for around $150~

Hope this helps

Sorry - i should have put more info in my first post. The current compressor works (so the coil/solenoid is ok) its just not producing enough pressure, so it doesnt get that cold. Also, i didnt really want to go second hand, but i might take the chance with a second hander if they're only 10% the price of a new one....

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
