Hey all

I own a '90 R32 gts-t Type M and I'm hoping someone could help me out.

The AC recently shat itself and no longer blows cold air anymore (which is a ***** in season) so I got a mechanic to check it out and he said that the AC Compressor was shot and it would cost $1K+ to get a brand new one.

What do you think? How much should it cost to get a new AC Compressor and what model/type of AC Compressor should I be looking at to suit my car if I go hunting for a 2nd hand one? If anyone has one or any contacts, it would be much appreciated.

Anyway, sorry for botehring everyone. Thanks guys. :)

Also, do you know any good jap wrecker in sydney?

there are 2 types of compressors for the R32.

Which makes things hard if you are looking for a second hand one.

I picked up a 2nd hand compressor off SAU for $40 and luckily it was the correct make for my r32.

Refer to my previous post;

I think you will need a calsonic brand compressor.

I got mine done for $500 for ac compressor swap + convert system to the new gas

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
