I've been looking @ getting my air conditioning regassed, the car is s1 r33 gtst

the air cond. currently works, just takes a little longer than it should to get cold.

I've heard that it may just need a top up? or regas which apparently should be done

every two years?? They also recommend changing the filter too.

I don't know whats involved, but if it already works, i was told to allow $250 for regas

This sounds over the top?? :no:

Has anyone has a basic regas and would be able to advise on price

and maybe recommend a place in Adelaide to get this done.... Cheers :)

I got my air re gassed not long ago, they had to change the fittings which was baisically screwing an adaptor on the original fitting which they charged an extra $60 for (saw me coming) and the total bill was 150, this was in tas tho.

i had mine done 2 weeks ago (trying to avoid the summer rush) :) cost me $150, however i opted for a coloured dye (cost that little extra) which is handy for future to find a leak.

on my drive home barefoot, my clutch foot went numb! like seriously cold - put a digital thermometer in the footwell and it was 9ºC!!!!

so if my aircon is fairly cool, but not freeezing cold, will a re-gas correct this?

and what's the deal with the filter? i'm not familiar it.

Yeah id try topping it up first, thats what i plan to do with my aircon.

And the filter, i know in quite a few airbox's they put an airfilter inside to trap dust and leaves and all that crap, could be something like that. Or it could be a filter somewhere in the lines or condenser or evaporator.... not sure where though, and what it would do since the ac is really a sealed system.

what did u get done? just a re-gas (with dye)? or filter etc aswell?

no - just a regas.

however i do have to go see him within the next few weeks so he can check if its leaking - said that if its leaking he'll change over the entire canister with fittings for free, if not just leave it.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
