hi guys,

can someone recommend an air con specialist in the Sydney area?

having issues with my car's aircon that is currently playing up.

It will go cold, then hot then cold (when moving) and then stay hot for awhile (even when moving).

If i try again later, it might get cold for a brief period and then start blowing hot air again when i come to a stop.

it is hit and miss and sometimes will not get cold for a long period (20-30mins) and with sydneys heat wave this week, i was dying in the car.

had the aircon checked at local mechanics and there is definitely gas left and is not leaking.

so after recommendations for a air con specialist to have a look and determine what the exact root of the problem is, as it is very frustrating.

Thanks in advance...

There used to be a group buy for Frosty Auto Air in Bass Hill. He does good work. I've also used Hahn Automotive in Alexandria, but that was just a re-gas after i changed the condensor. Also seemed good.

Also dont forget the auxilliary fan diode mod in the DIY section. It should help with the going hot when stationary issue.

Hey guys,

Call Pete from Pulse Auto Electrics. His shop is located in castle hill and has heaps if experience with aircon and also imports.

He should be able to mate, just give him a call and have a chat to him

Pulse regassed my aircon, after finding a leak in one of the lines and after pulling half the car apart to get to it.

Excellent service and a good price for the amount of mucking around to get the pipe out which needed to be welded.

BE AWARE WHEN BUILDING DUMP PIPES TO ALLOW ROOM TO GET AIRCON REGASSING FITTING ON.

On this topic is there any info for a recommended aircon place near lower north shore? I think mine needs re-gassing, but would good to get hychill if anyone can recommend a place? I have done a bit of searching online but can't tell who has it without calling each joint.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
