Looks like I need a new A/C compressor. It is making a bit more noise than is normal.

Any one know how much work replacing it would be? Also any one got one or know a good place I can get a new or re-conditioned one?

Ta.

Easy for me to replace...... (Degas, unplug wire, remove a/c lines 2x10mm bolts, remove stone guard, remove 4 bolts holding the compressor, remove compressor).

No idea where a good place to get one. I think the cheapest option would be to find someone with a front cut, cos the usually throw that stuff out.

If you want to goto a shop, my guess would be Trojan. They might be the same as a different car that is Australian delivered, this would be a cheaper option.

NatRad in Phillip have done stuff for my cars. Not the cheapest but I do like their work.

You really should replace the receiver drier too if the system is opened for more than 10 mins, also as Eiji said, you will need to put oil in the system too. I think its roughly 30ml for every part you replace. If you can, measure the oil that comes out of the old compressor and try and put that amount in the new one.

I can regas it for you and should be able to inject oil too if needed.

PM me if you need anymore help.

EDIT: i can get prices on parts too if you like, as i can get them trade price :)

You cant check the oil level as far as i know, the oil is vacuumed out and replaced in the regassing process. Im not 100% sure how other machines work but im sure with our one you can only inject oil when doing a regas. And even then youll have to try and find out how much oil usually goes into the system in R33s, as all cars are different.

I have a compressor hanging off an old rb25 block, yours for nothing if you come get it.

I noticed in the other thread you are in banks. I'm a northie, any chance you come any more north, else i will head out your way. I will wait to hear back from others also, maybe it just needs the oil from a regas?

Any ideas where I can find this info out anybody?

ALSO Wal32r how much would a regas cost me? I'd like to let you hear and assess the issue sometime, you may get some ideas or have suggestions and recommendations.

I don't use the A/C heaps, but I like it to work when need it...

I can probably do a regas for $100 - $110, providing the car is on R134A gas.

If your compressor is noisy, id say its probably too far gone, unless the noise is the clutch on the front which is rare. With most compressors you can change the clutch on the front, but if its anything other than that youre better off getting another compressor.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
