theres a place on the corner of princes hwy and canal rd in st peters near the airport. they have always had them on the shelf when i needed one. starters too

I know that place (I used to work on Canal road). Thanks.

When you say reconditioned would that be rebuilt or just freshened up because $110 is hell cheap I got quoted $150 for rebuilding.

Now if only anyone knew where to get the ac compressor rebuilt I'd be set.

I was quoted $280 to $380 for full rebuild (bearings (which are noisy on mine), rewind, regulator, brushes). They said the regulator part was $120 on its own.... I know with some of the bosch alterators the regulator is mounted externally and contains the diode pack and brushes - no idea if the nissan ones are integrated like that since they're internal, but for you guys getting $110-150 quotes i'd like to know what that covers.

WRT to air con rebuild, there's no rebuild kits left for R32 GTR so the only choice is new from Nissan. I dont know if 33 GTST is in the same boat but there was a group buy for re-gas a while ago - Frosty Auto Air, Bass Hill, 0418 608 680 - he rebuilds and he was the one that told me the 32 rebuild kits are all gone. He does good work.

    • Oh ok that makes so much sense. Thanks for clearing it up!
    • And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!
    • Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...
    • That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.
    • Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)
