hows it going skyliners.

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.

would anyone know where to get this stuff from?

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.

    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol. 
    • ok. Yea, then I would need to remove the turbo and weld an adapter on to it instead, if I fuc* this one up.  
    • No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
