I've found Ragazza's (spelling) South Road St Mary's is well priced. He used to own a line himself so he's an 'enthusiast' so to speak.

No point taking the car to someone who dislikes the cars and has no idea where to get parts from.

I've had quite a few places tell me... I get the parts and they will do the job otherwise they won't touch it as it will cost to much for me to pay them to ring around. Load of crap really.

I received a few quotes around the 600-700mark, Ragazza's was the cheapest being $400. My A/C has issues though, a small leak.

Chances are if yours is beginning to be not so cold yours too has a small leak some where.

did you get your aircon sorted in the end?

as for leak, it seems the area to check the aircon "bubble" is stained with oily firm. it still quite cold at the moment in temperature like 33 and below,any temperature above that the aircon have no effect.

my goodness, that is gotta be an expensive servicing/repair.

Nope not sorted yet... :P

Its on the back burner for the moment due to priorities.

My leak is the hose that runs from the compressor to the condensor. Its the only big fat hose there is, put the a/c on and I can see moisture bubbling slowly out the top of the insulation.

Bit of a bugger. Nissan want $330 or something for a new hose, ragazza or whom ever they are said they can repair it for $100 or so.

is all your after is regassing

Unless there's a leak you don't usually need re gassing, just the usual 3yr receiver dryer service that in turn requires a re-gas. :)

I've had mine re-gassed, it lasted through summer and following year with a visible leak. All depends how bad the leak is as to how long it lasts.

Well it may.. I'm not 100%.. Its what I've been told by a mate who was originally going to do the work on my car but then decided to get out of the mechanics trade.

He said if it stops being as cold due the lack of gas then there's a leak that needs to be fixed. orings, hoses etc.

Hi All,

The update on my airconditioning is that my condenser is now on the way to melbourne to be refurbished with seals. There service to me has been very good as far and they are quite involved in the hi performance car industry. They have owed a skyline, XR6 Turbo and currently own a subaru Liberty. They have called me every step of the way and have even ruturned my car to me until the condenser is fixed and then i will take it back in to be put back into the car. Approx. costs to do this work is $800 - $1200.

My car is a 2001 GTT 4 door.

Thanks

Shaun

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
