Hi everyone

I have a R33 and it's all black interior gets damn hot in summer, I swear I lost 5kg's just driving from Bunno to Perth the other week.

Anyway, I want to fix it or replace it, but I need to know the following.

1 - Any good places (where ever) that can service and/or repair my existing unit. (I don't know why it isn't working)

2 - If anyone has a working unit on a wreck that they want to sell.

3 - Or if anyone knows of anywhere that sells second hand, after market or genuine units and can point me in that direction.

I am willing to buy brand new from Japan if need be as it seems like every 33 has problems with the air con and you can't find one that works anywhere.

Anyway, let me know.

Cheers Blinky

My aircon works great on 18 degrees... then you bump it up to 19 degrees and it's like maximum heat lol. So I'm left with the option of either freezing cold or boiling hot :D

Sounds like the temperature sensors are screwed or something...

I prefer freezing cold to boiling hot, with coldness at least you can always counter it by wearing more cloth. With heat, not much more can be done besides driving around naked I guess... :P

yeah usually around $140.

autobahn will do it.

Correction, authbahn are $165.

Also, if your aircon is an older system using the older gas (R12), they won't charge it for you. You will either have to get a replacement system or there's the possibility of a conversion to the R134A system. For mine, I was quoted $320 for conversion, whereby they change the valves and a few other bits and pieces, flush the system, oil it and gas it, then check for leaks. Though with an R33 you SHOULD be on the new gas

Good luck dude :)

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
