Doesn't anyone have a airconditioning compressor lying around for an R33 skyline that they think works and they don't need?

Or does anyone have a mate that's just done an engine transplant and doesn't need the compressor?

I'm desperate here. I need my aircon. Thanks to Red Devil, they "Serviced" it and now it doesn't work at all.. At least it used to work when you were driving along the freeway.

OR... anyone got any contacts at an airconditioning place taht they could recommend?

hello erin, don't get secondhand compressor as the seals in them been exposed to air would be rooted. it might work for a few wekks , but that's about it. be cheaper to go full aftermarket one from nipondenso for around $700 and it's guaranteed. also u sure it's ur compressor as skylines are at that ages where the condenser will poop themselves as mine did out of the blue and u will need to get custom one about $800 so either way ur going to be lighten to the tune of aroung 700-800. but if u really wanted to fenn from here has one at his house.

it looks like there was 3 different compressors on r31 skylines and one of them looks like it will fit. i think they're about $800 but there might be a bit of work to get it to work properly( hoses may be slightly different). i'll post the part number for that compressor tomorrow.

I have obtained an RB25DETT compressor which looks the same except for a little lug nut that doesn't look like it's been used in it's life, so hopefully this will be the right one and it will get me out of trouble for a while.

I've been told that Zexel compressors are the least reliable and the worst compressor. YAY. Just another lemon thing to add to my car's already long list :(

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
