I got my aircon topped up the other day (R33).

The guy stuck a thermometer into the vent and left it there while he gassed it up.

Before top-up it was showing 12 deg at the vent. After he'd finished it was showing 4 deg.

Obviously this is an improvement. I'm just wondering what temps others get at the vents.

as if there's bikini babes :no:

now gimme answers.

i guess if it's blowing cold air, but not cold enough, you probably need a regass.

if it's not blowing any cold, then maybe something else is wrong.

whoever you take it to should be able to tell you.

mine was just a top up, and it seems fine now.

Air con will lose a little gas each year and should only need to be topped up every 5-7 years from memory. If you are losing alot of gas and need to top up frequently then there is a leak there somewhere!

Its blowing cold air, but could be colder I guess, my brothers Toyota is really really cold!

How much is a regas? should try to squeeze it in before the start of summer.

cost me $70 for the top up.

Anyone know a good places in the bankstown/st george area for a re-gas?

yeah, the guy i went to is pretty good. he doesnt stuff around.

he's on canterbury rd, at hurlstone park. auto electrician, just a bit down the road from hurlstone park rsl, opposite a service station.

tell him tony with the black skyline sent you.

Sounds good mate thats not too far away. You wouldnt happen to know the exact address or a phone number would you? I might have to get mine topped up, if today is anything to go by this summer is going to be HOT.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
