It's Summer, It's Hot, And I Have No Air Con

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 :)

    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
    • I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium
    • It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:
