Air Con Woes

I have a RB25DET swap in my A31.

Depending on speed and time of day the cabin temperature can be pretty uncomfortable.

At idle, the compressor comes on with the switch however it can be heard coming on and off around approx 2k rpm, I'm not sure if it comes back on higher up in the power band as my exhaust is pretty loud.

I am using the air con compressor that came with the RB25 and not the RB20 one if that makes a diff.

Does anyone have a clue as to what the problem may be? I appreciate any help that anyone may offer.

change back to the rb20 compressor if you can? sounds like wiring issues though? i'm assuming it was fine with the rb20 in?

Lines are already changed to accommodate the RB25 compressor and the RB20 was sold yesterday. :P

ok well you need wiring diagrams of each then to make sure all the wires are in correct places , being nissan they would be very similar? , if it isn't in the wiring then the only places left to look are the compressor itself or the a/c controls (which tie in with the wiring really) . 'sounds' (by the description) like the clutches are stuffed in the pulley though

*you might get better replies in the maintainence forum?*

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
