hot week next week, unfortunatly my aircon compressor bearing is siezed, any ideas on cost for repairs?

My aircon compressor clutch is fecked, been like it ever since I bought it. Got quoted roughly $450 for a s/h compressor, fitting and gassing from Jaustec.

ITS ALIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally good to see Mitch...i am guessing that you haven't hooked up the stock boost gauge line either?? and as far as i know there should be a connection for the oil pressure....ahh well just get aftermarket gauge that will prob be more accurate

took my R31 to a place in lonsdale on o sulleys rd near the old ASV building who fixed the leak , new condenser and swapped out the compressor for about 300 all up including regas,top work for cheapest I could find around the south.

gotta love the ole UFC Damo......NOT for the faint hearted though (I know Carl - Bezender would agree with me)

I'd love to go toe to toe with a couple of the serial pests on these boards....may even teach them a little respect for the old fellas, lol :)

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
