Yeah, rightio......

Got my new receiver dryer from nissan today and took it down to mac rad to get regassed with r134a (enviro junkies happy now???).

Anyway, aircon still didn't work cos the magnetic clutch was open circuit! damn it.

Got home and hammered a couple of washers into the compressor clutch, started her up and what do you know, the air con was working after 3 years or so of doing nothing.

It's going full time though cos of the washers. Just a stopgap until i work out how to get da clutch unit off and put a new one on.

Any ideas??

Cos paying $1200 or whatever the cost is for a new compressor don't go down too well for me.

The good news....... The Electro-magnetic clutch change will set you back a measely $110.00 :)

The bad news....... You'll have to get the gas back out of the system, pull the A/C compressor off and drive to Milperra :)

( There may be someone more local to you but this guy's the best I've found )

Call Jack on 9792-8265 or 0416-204-806 to make sure he'll be at the shop ( VERY busy man ) and then drive to 12/9 Ladbroke St. Milperra and in a couple of days it'll be all fixed.

F.Y.I. he can also overhaul your compressor AND change the clutch for $400 total ( from memory ) which is a whole lot better than $1,200 new from nissan.

Hope that helps :(

Cheers for the info.  It only got a bit of gas to check the system first anyway.  Just gotta pull the bastard out now!

Where is Milperra?  I'm in richmond.

Milperra is near Bankstown. Also, your A/C usually won't work unless you have full pressure in your system. So the compressor MIGHT not be your problem.

If you can afford to do it, get the compressor out, get it overhauled ( including the clutch ) and chuck it back in with a full re-gas and your A/C will be awesome. You might not think it's worth it now but summer is just around the corner :O

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
