Hey guys,

just drove my 32 home on the freeway (hot day 37C) and the ac stopped working

with a funny noise, i checked it when i got home and the belts gone cooked off

so i checked all the pulleys and there all free including the compressor and clutch

but the clutch wont seem to engage when you press the switch. Just had it gassed

a week ago. Whats goin on?

Two common reasons the clutch wont throw;

- fuse is blown

- gas has leaked out again

So check the fuse first, and if that's ok, get the gas checked again. If you cant be bothered checking the gas properly, there'll be a valve (at bit like to tyre valve) under a red cap on one of the air con lines, you could press it to see if there's any gas left.

got gas, fuse is good but wheres the belt? it was brand new belt and i can see

melted rubber on the pulleys like something seized.

sounds like the air compressor itself has seized(or the tensioner bearing), cant think of anything else that would cause the belt to do that

must have seized then come loose again?!? can you get parts for the compressors or even new units

is anything compatible?

you could probably get new parts and it MAY be even possible for you to fit them if your handy with a spanner, ive always handballed these sort of problems straight to an auto electrician as you might have more than one issue on your hands

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
