Looking to get my A/C running again in my R32 GTR but are having some issues and was hoping if people could point me in the right direction :)

I think my Compressor is on its way out as currently with the 10Amp fuse, the compressor won't engage when I turn on the A/C and the 10Amp fuse blows instantly. However if I run a larger fuse, say 15Amp or 20Amp, the compressor will run and the fuse doesn't blow, however I am not too keen on using this solution as I feel its sorta asking for trouble.

Do people generally just look to replacing their compressors in R32 GTRs or get them overhauled? is my problem common, if so how have people gone about resolving?

I have the same problem on my car. Gassed up, fans engage but compressor keeps blowing fuses (compressor shorting out internally?).

I have a spare compressor from my GTS-t wreck, still haven't put it in yet (no time, looks like a big effort to replace).

Disconnect plug at compressor and see if it still blows fuses.

Replacing the compressor isn't a 5 minute job

I've tried this and the fuse still blows :(

10Amp is the standard fuse, it's been awhile since ive tried, but I think the only fuse it wasn't blowing was the 20Amp and thats why I wasn't too keen to keep running it with the 20Amp fuse in there.

Could be the magnetic clutch solenoid insulation crapping out. Use a multimeter to check its resistance. The spec is 3.5 ohms If its much less than that it will pull too much current and blow the fuse.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
