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

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
