How much do you guys pay for an aircon regas and from where?

Also, I've noticed a VERY bad thing on my two front tyres (haven't checked the back yet) and that on the inner side (closest to the car) you can actually see the steel threads pretty much around the entire tyre. Obviously this is a terrible thing.

I've read the previous threads about tyres, but with Toyo's costing an arm and a leg (which I can't afford right now), what are the next best (and cheaper) tyres?

I can get Kuhmo's pretty cheaply, but I'm not sure if they are any good.

Advice please.

Regards,

Jason.

$13 a kilo for 134a and your average car takes less then that  ... :mad:  

Try and get it cheaper ....

shop around for sure

but just because you believe u can buy the gas for said amount

doesnt mean u gonna find much cheaper

the companies charge 12 months rent on every bottle of r134a - so $13 is a little off - the gas isnt the cost anyways - its the labour and evac etc

      R32 only blows hot air

      By Duncan · Posted

      Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)

      Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.

      Wires cut underneath shifter cover

      You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple

      Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By SeanR32GtSt · Posted

      Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
