Good morning,

i need some advice, i recently got the system vacuumed and gassed (with the new gas as i was told they no longer make the one that originally came with the car). i have not used it that much as i had an issue with the idle on the car, that has since been sorted out. the other day i was using it and found that it was not blowing cold, did some checks and saw that the fuse was gone, changed it and as soon as i switched it on the fuse was blown again. changed it and disconnected the current to the compressor and used a tester the light remained on and the fuse was good. so i plugged back the current to the compressor and the fuse blew. So i know it is the compressor is the cause. so i have a few questions. ps. the compressor wheel spins freely

1. could the use of this "new gas" caused this

2. is it that the electrical components in the compressor need replacing (is this possible like an alternator) or do i need to buy a complete compressor and replace.

some other information. it is a complete R32 gts swap that was done on the cefiro, the fuse being used is 10amp

thanks

Roger

Before you go replacing stuff check your wiring, usually when fuses are blowing it is becasue you are grounding out somewhere.

Check the wiring from the compressor back to inside the cabin

Remember these cars are 20+ years old and have seen alot of miles and conditions so the wiring, no matter how go the condition you might think they are in, might have a crack or 2 in them so check everything!

Good Luck!

quick question, the ac compressor on the det has two jacks, i noticed that the electrician only used one and basically he just jacked back in the one for the original harness (rb20 single cam) could it be possible that both jacks needed to be hooked up? is it necessary, when i asked he said no. could this have caused the compressor to go bad and keep blowing the fuse?

Thanks

      Which injectors are you using? It's likely the fuelling is off also, so as above.

      R34 Series 1 And 2 Front Reo Difference?

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Awesome to know. I have a Series 1, and When pulling my front bumper off for the first time i realised my reo/crash bar was a bit worse for wear, and was going to try pick up a better one soon just so i can replace it. Someone is selling a full series 2 front bar and brackets for a decent price, so was going to probably reuse my brackets and install the new second hand reo/crash bar. I also have a genuine Altia body kit to do up, spray and put on, and not sure if that will use the series 1 or series 2 brackets for the front bumper, so having both will be handy, and knowing i can drill holes out to make stuff fit between series is also handy to know!

      R34 Series 1 And 2 Front Reo Difference?

      I should also say that the while they are different the only parts that matter are the center headlight supports and center bar from S1 to S2. The center bar will work, but the S1 has holes that clips go through into the S1 bumper. So if you were super cheap you could simply drill the S2 bar. Same thing with the side/wings. They have slightly different 'clips' but can be made to work. The center headlight brackets however, cannot. This is also where the GTR differs, which has a different center bar, and different headlight supports (to either GTT system), it also has different 'wing' headlight supports which is what I am calling under the headlight. However those CAN be made to work with the GTT Reo for a GTR front bar by a small spacer and a drill/tapping a thread into the reo because the bolt positions are slightly different. So people only really need the center brackets to go between GTT S1, GTT S2, and GTR if you are happy to do some tinkering.

      If this, then this You can't really get away without it. There are hacks that you can do in Nistune, but things are much easier with the sensor than without it. If you're not planning to Nistune the ECU, then stop right now and add it to your plan anyway, because the ECU is going to shit the bed over the missing ABS and TC computers that it expects to see, and you need Nistune to stop it chucking all its toys over the side of the crib.
