HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! as a air con shop they don't know this???

you might want to think about the shop your taking this to...

as a general rule you do not put more than 2 cans in if the system is dry...

They are the pro's they should be telling you this...

Just to be clear these are the types of can I'm talking about: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Case-12-cans-DuPont-Suva-w-UV-134a-Auto-MADE-USA-refrigerant-Freon-R134a-/160990685363?_trksid=p3284.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DSI%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BUA%252BFICS%26otn%3D21%26pmod%3D161011745405%26ps%3D54

I'm in the UK, the Cefiro basically doesn't exist here, it's not on any databases.

Apparently they were able to find a figure, but this was relayed to me by the receptionist as "eight hundred and something", I don't even know what unit.

Doesn't matter anyway as the condenser is leaking, and I can't get a new one until Tuesday. Getting one of a 1995-1996 A32 Maxima. Apparently the 1996-1998 A32 has a different one according to my supplier. Not sure what the difference is. I have to supply my own as even A32s are rare here and none of their suppliers can get one.

I'm in the US and they don't exsit here either, I'm the only legal one I know of, the A32 won't fit if you have a A31... just FYI you need one either out of a F31 and the lines like i did or you need to get the actual A31 condensor.

I have mine if all you need is the condensor but I'm not sure how much the shipping would be to the UK from SoCal.

Hmm,

The parts thread on here says the condensor and the dryer from the A32 fit, and I know the A32 dryer does because I did that a couple of years ago.

The diagram of the A32 Maxima condensor on the various parts sites looks about right for what is in my car, something like this:

Maybe the US spec A32 is different? I don't think the F31 exists in this country either.

Well the mounting tabs don't fit, i tried they don't line up. maybe it's the US spec ones... LOL!

Well just trying to help you out since no one else seems to be contributing to this thread... I spent a year trying to find parts for my a/c and trying to get it to work. Finally did a few weeks ago.

Try it out I guess but even that diagram you have doesn't seem right again look at my build thread I have pictures of my install and the condensor is different than that picture. the tabs are on top.

Here is the picture of the mounting tab I'm talking about:

and here is another picture of the 2 condensors , the stock A31 I took out of my car on the bottom and the F31 I put in on the top, you can see the mounting tabs are different from the picture you put up.

Hope this helps.

Hmm, you're right, the A32 one is somewhat different. Looks like it won't physically fit :(

Oddly though, according to this site:

http://www.gamela.com.tw/product/GCN1545.html

An R32 one will fit? Found an R32 one on Australian eBay and it looks about right: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm//261134829805

Those should but you will want to check your lines after to make sure the fittings are the same size, but yes they should fit.

The R32 had 2 types of condensors which were both offered which were the type we have on the A31 and a screw in type that is found along with the S13.

Make sure you get the type shown in the pictures and you should be fine.

Oh and one more thing, you might have to replace the bottom spacers with your orignal ones when doing the swap at the bottom of the condensor to make the mounting tabs line up.

Not hard they just pop off and you replace them with the ones off your stock unit. You'll see when doing the swap.

Good luck.

Still struggling with this one. All the R32 ones I've found have been the wrong type. If anything they look like a wing-mount design.

I'm guessing that the GTR swapped the position of the AC condenser and intercooler, so I need to find a GTS one?

Oh dear. Not many GTSes over here :(

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
