Hi,

My ac compressor is leaking all over the place and was wondering if anyone knows of a place in Sydney where I could get it repaired?

I live in the eastern suburbs and everyone I have taken the compressor to has told me that they are unable to obtain parts to recondition it.

The altenative is for me to buy a new one on RHD for over $1100 but am really hoping for a cheaper alternative.

If anyone has any recommendation or advice it would be greaty appreciated.

Thanks

No guarantees but the only guy I know who may be able to help you is Terry Bebbington who owns Bebco Automotive at Auburn. I know it's not close but at least you may have a chance. This guy knows his stuff and is extremely respected within the Holden fraternity.

Ring him on 02 9644 2888...... Tell him that "Bob F" With the R32 GTR's told you to ring him. He may even be able to rebuild yours if another is not available.

Let me know how you get on. Cheers..... Bob.

Hi Bob,

I called Terry and he was unable to help me out so I ended up buying it from RHD, I ended up costing me about $1250 with delivery.

Here is the link if any one is after a brand new compressor for their GTR R32.

http://www.rhdjapan.com/nissan-oem-ac-compressor-05u14-bnr32-skyline-gt-r-60748

It will save you about $800 from going through the local dealership.

Also when you get your compressor don't forget to take it to your air con guy to change the oil because my one came with oil for R12 gas??

You want them to change it to R134a compatible oil.

It will save you the nightmare I had after already put it on the car only to take it off again.

Cheers

Hi All,

Just an update on the brand new AC compressor I bought over 2 years ago from RHD.

I had it professionally fitted and after running it for just over a year in the car it has failed internally.

I am getting it checked this week to see exactly what had failed but I can tell you it has seized!

It was a genuine OEM replacement Valeo brand. Looks like Nissan dont supply Zexel any longer.

If anyone has an alternative reliable compressor which can be fitted to the Nissan GTR R32 please let me know.

I have heared that some Infinity, GTR 33 & GTR 34 compressors may be adaptable but I have not seen any fitted.

Thanks!

update?

Also, what type of oil and how much did they use?

Can greatly affect the life of the compressor.

Hey all, can someone help me out with this please?

My air con in my R32 GTR runs cold for 2-3 seconds and then just blows normal air. The ac unit that sits near the passenger side is very loud when i turn it on.

Is this normal? (First time owner of early model cars)

OR do i also need a rebuild/replacement of the compressor?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
