depends what is wrong, im going throug this atm in my 32 gtr.

if gas is gone then there is obviostly a leak, could be any o ring from very easy to fix, to more difficult to o rings in the compressor. Even the evaporator inside the cabin could be leaking.

Best thing to do is get it gasses up and check that it works, make sure they put in heaps of die. This is so you know everything is in working order or not, and if it leaks the dye will shop up where it is.

If it leaks again then they will use a UV light to find the leak, then you can go from there.

Thanks for your advice...I'm basically buying the car at a reduced price because of the air con problem and I'm hoping its not going to cost me more then the $1k 'saving'...

Are there any new parts required or can any old yellow pages air con guy fix this problem?

Gas and dye is generic obviostly, if seals are gone they are pretty standard. There is a thing called reciver dryer, its like a filter for the gas, dont replace this straight away because if it leaks again, you will have to replace it again, as it should be replaced when ever gas has been lost (there for air and moisture is inside the system)

so regas should be around 100, reciver dryer is about 80 (there are different styles but in 99% sure you dont have to use genuine nissan) then rebuilding compressor i dont know i havent come to that yet, but i would imagine you should come well under $1000.

As you may have read im currently rebuilding my GTR at the moment ground up and one of the things i recently replaced was the receiver dryer. I found that an aftermarket nippon receiver dryer was only $25 and fitted up fine. i will most likely look at servicing/rebuilding the compressor at some stage i've been told new ones are worth around 900-1000 but a rebuild/service may only be 300

Forgot to add that it could be the TX valve. They are $50 to replace with an aftermarket item (i also did this). So just to guid you to how much these items cost. The Nissan genuine item was $146+ for the TX valve

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
