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.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
