Hi guys , great site u have here, but just need help with a few things, have done a search but cant seem to find any info

ok im sure u have heard this all before but i am looking at buying a 92mod R32 GTS-T, have found 1 i like and at a good price , but just have a few concerns

- few squeeks coming from the front end , is this normal wear and tear ? Im not stupid and know what to look for just want to hear your thaughts, as u guys have owned these types of cars before.

-My biggest concern is the Air Con isnt working propally seems like it is a common problem with the skylines. Once again i have tried a search but cant find the problem that this car is having, the problem that the seller is telling me is that the Air Con comes and goes , he says somedays it will work and other days it wont , i have driven the car and tried the Air Con and it didnt work all the lights come up on the screan but no air comes out of the vents ! any thaughts of what this might be? and a rough cost of what it would be to repair ?

- one more thing it does is , when you are going down a hill it POPS a bit from the exaust and more often when the car is hot, could this be due to running rich ? the owner of the car said when he baught it it was running like 15 pound boost but turned it straight down to 7 or 8 pound, do they richen these things up when they are under more boost ? could this be causing it to "POP" when backing off the throtle ?

ANY help would be great guys , thanks heaps in advance

Just look at another car man,

Might worth spending a bit extra and get a better condition. Exhaust pop is normal, air con not working is NOT normal though we tend not to use aircon too much as you loose PERFORMANCE .

if your realy worried get an nrma inspection done on the car, best option if your not realy sure. the pop is prob cause its boosted on a standard ecu and the squek isnt normal but might be nothing major, jst geta nrma inspection done, its worth it to save headache's

hey bud, firstly can you give a lil more description as to the squeek? if he has an aftermarket FMIC it could be squeeks coming from the cooler pipes onto the wheel arches. i know my car had squeeky problems from this. so i just recut/extended the hole and whala.

air con might need a new compressor, can be costly if you dont do it yourself.

and lastly sounds like the car needs a tune to test the air fuel ratio's. or a new o2 sensor.

Don't buy an R32 with non-working aircon. Chances are it has the early model compressor which is impossible to find in working order and $1200 new from Nissan (if they even sell it anymore since it's R12 equipment I don't know if they can).

Changing the compressor itself is not expensive it's finding the parts. I tried everyone in the country once with no luck and finally ended up importing a used one from Japan at great expense (very heavy).

If however you can look down at the aircon compressor (or up from underneath) and see a sticker marked "Calsonic" on the compressor then it's not too bad. Calsonic compressors are far more common to find second hand.
