Question Regarding My A/c Compressor

Hey guys and girls,

Quick rundown, about 12 months ago my car suddenly started making this horrid sound. Went and saw a local mechanic who quickly found it was coming from the

a/c compressor. Just to shut the noise up for the time being we cut the belt off and i havent worried about it since.

With warmer weather around the corner i want to get my a/c working again so today i put a new belt back on hoping it had miraculously fixed itself.

Obviously this hadnt happened and the noise is still there. But the a/c is still blowing ice cold air also.

I have taken a video of the noise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfSuzUaJI14.

Is this something that can be repaired cheaply or am i going to have to replace the compressor and get the system regased??

Hoping someone can answer this for me.

Cheers all-

Pete

      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

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.

      Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
