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

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
