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.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
