started my car just a few min ago to realise i didnt have any more cold air feeding into my car, which might be because ive ran out of the A/C gas. i cant remember to well but there was a thred about this real cold A/C gas somewhere in VIC.

and how much would we be lookn at?

No A/C re-gassing is going to be any colder than another guys gas... thats just silly!

It must be installed by a A/C dude however.

Should be around $70-$100 for a regas, doesnt really matter where you go.

I think what he means is... the normal or the stock gas everyone is ment to put in or regass it with shouldnt vary in temperature it should have the same chemicals and what not. AC Gas should not vary. Well thats my opinion.

Ehrmmmm yeh, if u just get it regassed with the normal stuff (?!?!) it'll be alot colder, they die after a while, check that your vents are opening fully to, my motor was getting caught up and i was only getting half of the a/c air into the car

haha sounds like the blend door servo motor dead. I have this same problem, manually set the flap onto full cold and dont touch the temp controls :ermm:

Someday ill buy a working motor..someday...

the only gas in australia allowed for a/c in cars is r134a which is ozone freindly

no its quiet possible that you car had r12 in it which actually has a lower chill point.

so yes in theory there are colder a/c gasses. but no one is allowed to use r12 because it damages the ozone.

newer cars from around 1992 are r134 type systems. also you cant pop r12 into a r134 system as if there is resident r134 the two gases mix and cause major corrosion internally.i would take it to a auto elec who has experienced knowledge of a/c .ie knows the difference between out of gas and fooked a/c system parts.

you may well have a blend door motor issue . as they dont have a heater tap to turn off water to the heater core.

go and get it checked by a professional

my two cents.

      I'm confirming the "2 way" Nismos can be converted to 1.5's very easily as you already described. It's well detailed in the manual. I can scan mine if you need, I think I still have it laying around somewhere.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Well, its worth noting that 450+ is probably enough to get you to church on time each Sunday already..... You mentioned cams, did you upgrade the valve springs as well? Factory ones will be well past their use case by now. And yes, the hydraulic lifters are likely to limit your usable rpms and AFAIK you need a (now rare and expensive) head swap to rb26 or even better rb25neo for that (to retain VCT) I don't think 4"/3.5" should be a restriction. What about the intake, do you have an upsized intercooler and what is the throttle body?

      Something like this -  You can buy the arms in different lengths too. The suction cup goes to the windscreen.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I do have an adjustable exhaust cam gear but I always presumed these only lead to minor changes. I'll play around with it next week and report back. Also wouldn't advancing, not retarding shift that power down lower?  We played around with VCT last year and it made more power with it on until redline. I had read somewhere that this is often the case with short runner intakes like I'm running but I'll revisit this after adjusting my exhaust cam.  I have a 4" downpipe and 3.5" line with two open dumps. I'm thinking back pressure would only start to be an issue at 35+ psi. I often hear people state things like "oh my turbo really only wakes up past 30psi" which goes against everything I know about centrifugal compressors. Is there any actual logic to this?  Thanks for the help dose.
