Hey guys,

I have recently replaced my AC compressor. I got it leaked tested. Vacuumed and it passed. I had it re-gased but it wasnt quit as cold as i expected it to be. I used 2 cans of R12 (was really hard to find). It blew cool air for about 3 days. I used it up to the night before. When i woke up in the morning it was blowing ambient air. Ran diagnostics and all of the sensors passed. Compressor clutch kicks in everytime i cut on the AC. But still does not cool. Checked the door mixer flap to see if the motor was sticking but its working 100% so it cant be that. What i did notice was that on the sight glass of the dryer unit the gas wasnt flowing as fast as it was when i first got it gassed up. DO you think i need to add more refrigerant? Has the gas that i used broken down? Did I use enough cans of refrigerant. The system was completley empty before i re-gased. Also I took down the glove box and ran the AC i can hear the refrigerant run across the evaporator coil but when i put my hand on there it isnt cold at all. TX Valve clogged maybe? I must say it does blow hot hair. In diagnostic mode #5 my readings are kinda high. all in the mid to high thirties. Cant remember them off the top of my head. Help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
