Well worth getting a leak test on your system, otherwise the refrigerant will leak out again. Large leaks can cause a loss of charge in no time at all! some smaller leaks could be as little as a fue ounces per year. Most leaks occur on the high side of the system including condenser coil and o ring fittings. Compressor discharge and suction hoses are also another major leak point. Laws on control of ozone depleting Refrigerant gas including HCFC R134a prohibit a leaking system to simply be recharged hence it is against the law to re gas refrigeration systems including car A/C without leak repairs.

yeah I got my a/c fixed at Protek a year or 2 ago.. still needs to be fixed.

Thank god my head gasket went just before last Summer so I was driving another car during the 30deg+ heat.

Graham at Albert St Automotive in Preston is really honest and does cheap general mechanical work (wheel bearings, servicing, RWs etc) but I think they get contractors to do their electrical stuff.. still cheap though.

Regent Electrical... or something like that.. it's on High St in Preston on the hill.. they do a/c repairs (alot) and didn't charge me to test my a/c and offer some solutions, they seem pretty honest.. (though I haven't had any work done there)

the place kaz was talking about is regal auto electrics: 793 high st reservoir 94703811

they do regas there but from past experiences of getting elec type stuff done, they were pretty pricey.

you leave it there...to regas it took something like an hour and a half....i went for a walk, got something to eat, and came back, and it was done :)

edit: the place is called KSR Air conditioning - 9762 1011 (the guy's name is Keith)

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
