I just kept my rb20 compressor connect to its lines but removed it from the rb20 block

this way you dont have to regas your air con

dropped in the 25 and mounted it back up

belt size may be different and your meant to hook up a extra temp sensor or something so I currently have no air con

before you start fitting AC compressors look on the back if its designed for r12 or r134a gas.An R32 I imagine would be for the R12 due to its age ( correct me if I am wrong anybody ). I would be chasing up the compressor that runs R134a as you cannot buy R12 anywhere.R134a compressors run at higher pressures, Ac would still work ok I guess with the older compressor but the newer compressors work better..I am doing the same conversion right now in an AE92 corolla...bought a compressor from the 20 valve blacktop..Just shopping around now for newer condensor...good luck

There are 2 different models of rb20 compressors (wouldnt have a clue how they differ)

They both are R12 gas and you'll need to convert the system to R134a if you want to regass it. (aircon mechs do this for a small price, they replace some seals or something cant remember)

R134a is not as cold as R12, so your rb20 compressor will need more effort to produce same coldness.

R33 compressor would most likely be r134a which would be more efficient than a r32 r12 compressor running on r134a gas

added bonus is that the r33 compressor is smaller and lighter :cheers:

I went with the r32 compressor on mine when i converted as all the lines match up, so it's just a bolt up job. Mine was still working well at the time too so i didn't disconnect it. One less complication in the conversion.

If you go with the r33 compressor then you will need to get some custom lines made up to suit so it adds to the cost. Whether the cost of a regas and lines is less than a conversion you'll have to find out for yourself

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
