Hi,

my a/c used to be cold but with a loud noise coming from the front when turned on. Now it isn't cold at all and I'm guessing the compressor's kaput.

Is it difficult to swap the a/c compressor myself and does anyone know how to do this as I'd like to attempt it.

Cheers.

compressor wouldn't be too hard to change, it just bolts to the side of the block. little bit tricky to get to because of the exhaust/ intake pipes over the top of it.

just make sure it's your compressor that is dead, because as soon as you disconnect the pipes going to/ from it (or any other aircon pipes) the gas will escape which i illegal to release i believe. plus you will have to get it filled properly and have leaks checked when you bolt on a new compressor.

most R33 and R34 came with the R134A gas which is the newer type and a lot easier to work with (and cheaper). not too sure about R32s.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
