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.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
