If worse comes to worse man you can get one sent up from Nisswreck in Melbourne. That was the path I ended up having to take after checking out a few local ones but they were seized. Problem is I think it cost me around $200 in total for the compressor and postage.

yeh id like to avoid getting a 2nd hand one posted up to me if i can.

Id like to actually go and have alook at what ever im going to buy to make sure it seems alright 1st cause half the 1s i have seen so far dont look 2 good.

PS: if your selling one or take a compressor out of your car make sure you cover the holes to it with tape ect to stop air and crap getting in to it :P

Wish I had a spare R32 one sitting around but only have a R33 one that a wrecker gave to me to see if it would work but the inlets/outlets are a few mm to big. It's a pain finding a non seized R32 compressor which is why I took the Nisswreck path, They are rather good from my dealings with them and the compressor works well and all inlets/outlets were covered and the compressor was wrapped in bubble wrap. Sadly I still dont have my AC up and running just need to fix my PBR error and all will be good.

Actually I did just remember something, Try a few workshops like Powerplay Imports (not recommanding them just first shop to pop in my head), Most people get the AC removed when building a car for drift/track work.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
