Just wondering...

Had a new compressor installed.... rest of system checked out all good.... still cost $2000!!!

Anyhow.... I have connected a second electric fan on a remote switch and still the AC is only average whilst driving and only 'coolish' at traffic lights.

Is this normal or should they spit ice ???

i would take it back. should be 5 degrees give or take at the vents. if its average whilst driving where the condensor is getting good airflow across it then maybe the gas level is over or undercharged. get them to put some gauges on it and put a good thermometer down the vent.

should be in general maintenance btw

Depends on where you took your car for the A/C repair, my A/C repair came up around $1.5k for replacement of compressor & receiver dryer + degas & regas.

holy crap im gonna start up an air con business.

Could be one of your air diverter valves. It could be stuck or busted and is letting the air go through the heater core?

They tend to give some trouble, just an idea considering you just had the AC system serviced and it should be ice cold..

Yeah, got bum raped by labour costs & the shop used brand new OEM parts *cough* massive over price *cough*.

EDIT: on a side note, I seem to have a problem with my bottom air vents (the ones that blowi air on your feet), they will open when I turn the whole system off?

thought that was normal? just to keep little bit of fresh air coming in...if not we have the same problem haha

Check the actuator arm behind the climate control (I'm assuming the car has this) actually moves when changing the temperature, it could be stuck in between (dry solder joins deteriorate and crack on R32s, R33s could be the same problem)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
