Hey fellow Skyline friends.

Was using my aircon the other night when it died.

got it checked out and found it was the compressor.

Does any1 have a compressor to suit an Rb25DET R33 skyline..

Need it pretty quick as its getting to over 40degrees here in rockhampton.

Cheers.

Michael

My aircon shat itself about a year ago because i never used it, which causes the seals to dry out. Now it's summer i really want it going again, particularly since my car is black. An aircon place here in Cairns told me that sending mine off to be rebuilt (in Brisbane) and back on my car will take about a week and $1500. I asked if i should buy a 2nd hand one off ebay and hope it was in working order and he warned me that any aircon that has been off the car for a while (as unused) is likely to seize up anyway because of the seals, and will therefore require a rebuild in most cases anyway. As my car is simply my weekend warrior i have no problem losing it for as long as it takes but if you need your car day to day perhaps buy one and have it freshened up first, then book the car in to have the work done when convenient. I have watched compressors go off on ebay for $30.

oh rightio. I see...

I cannot get a compressor from anywhere here in rocky.

700 bucks fitted and all that jazz if i can find a compressor..

Is turbo model engine the same compressor as the RB25DE??

Because repco can get 1 of them but not for a turbo. Just curious.

The weather here in rocky is TOOO hot not to have the lovely skyline climate control.

Cheeeers, Michael

I dunno if they are interchangeable. Stick to what you have would be the safest bet. I have a series 1 and wanted to buy a series 2 compressor because it had much lower k's when removed from the car but the seller told me that the pipes were different sizes so i decided against it. you have an r33gtst s1 correct? next time i find a cheapie on ebay i'll post you a link. there are plenty of skyline wreckers in the brisbane area that would have a better idea than i do

I can confirm that S1 and S2 compressors are different sizes, i have a S1 but i managed to fit a S2 compressor on by using bigger O'rings..

i wouldnt advice this but i had no idea what series compressor i bought..

hope this helps. :P

I have a turbo R33 A/C compressor sitting here unsure if it is series one or two. I got it for free from a wrecker down here when chasing one for a R32 because he wasn't sure if it would work or not and just so you know the inlets on of the pipes is a think 1-2mm bigger on the R33 for then the R32. The biggest problem for a compressor would be postage as it is heavy as hell.

I know of Mark Gibbs Panel House which is just off Moss Street near me (Logan City). I can't remember how much it cost me to get my R32 compressor sent up from Nisswreck in melb as I had alot of trouble finding a working R32 one.

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
