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....

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.
