Hi all,

Has anyone been able to source a replacement AC compressor for an R33 gtst? I'm not looking to gamble on a 2nd hand item. 

All I can seem to find is the R32 GTR compressor on RHD and when speaking to my air con guy, he didn't have the part listed. 

 

Cheers!

Is this something you've personally done or know anyone that has?

I'd be worried that the rebuilt compressor will fail in a few years time =/ 

Any ideas on who could rebuild it and costs involved?

Who did the rebuilds for you? 

Can't remember.  Some place on South Rd near Hindmarsh (Adelaide) from what vague memories are left.  The latest of these rebuilds was like, 15 years ago.  There are specialist automotive air-con places (not the dodgy cheap-arse "who can fix me 'air?") chains, but proper specialists, in every major city.  It's not exactly rocket surgery to do it.  They just get stripped down and fitted with new seals, wobble plates, bearings, etc etc, according to how f**ked it is.  Just need to have the knowledge and the parts.  And possibly the ability to do any machining that might be needed to account for wear on the casings etc.

No worries, I hadn't had any luck finding a place that could rebuild it but at least I have hope now. I'll keep digging. 

Also thanks for the Amayama back up plan, not keen to spend $1,600 however will if that's my only option

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
