Replacement AC condenser - R32 GTR

[Predator1]

Hi guys,

Looking at my old AC condenser, it looks rather sad. Will get my AC all sorted again soon but was thinking to replace it with a new item. I cant find any new AC condensers. From what I know, all R32 ac condensers are the same.

Anyone replace theirs with a new aftermarket one perhaps? 

Thanks.

But can be had new, maybe try Vega Motorsports, see if he can do cheaper.

they were decently expensive before the GT-R tax came into effect, now, just need to sell a bunch of drugs to afford one.

Glad I bought mine when I did and even then I thought it was a rip off

Yeah I saw Vega has them for around 1100. Anyone used a custom condenser before? Not sure if I want to fork that much for a condenser.

If change to a different condensor will need new lines & depending if drier is part of condensor like say a hilux. Be easier to just buy the factory replacement as depends where you go AC/Auto elecs can charge decent money for custom lines depending on what style/type are used.
$1100 thats a straight swap is worth it, add new orings, compressor oil, drier & gas will be a decent outlay if not doing the replacement yourself but worth it.

Well I need to get custom lines anyway, as my manifold didnt clear properly(Even though advised I wanted to run ac). So I had to remove the hardlines by the rail.

You cant use the oem drier anyway as they use a different gas.

Same, I paid under $1k and at the time thought that was a rip off but now... Wow.

AU $292.18 plus $155.44 shipping $447.62 total

The current cheapest "new" I can find is $1848.20 without shipping, I just have very little trust for ebay and aliexpress sellers.

These guys have been talking about condenser cores not compressors. Either way new for either is a $2K proposition or you rake what you can find used.

Yeah i purchased a chinese ac compressor for my 33 and was thoroughly impressed with the quality and fitment. Not sure on the longevity but i figure i can get it rebuilt for a fraction of the price.

You could take advantage of the current yen drop. 1 AUD = 91.4c JPY.
