Its not realy .You have a good AC technik who is flushing and driing sustem properly and fill system with right amount of gas ,change dryer and using a quality oil .

And You have a AC "technik " - tradesman who just put gas in system with cheap gas without proper flashing /specialy after old gas and oil / wich is not working with 134 gas oils.Its cooling but not enough and later starts problem with compresor.

So its not always cheaper is a beter.Price somwhere in between as Daniel say but ask what is he doing before he start.

I jusr came back from a place who quoted me 260 for a conversion (car was only just imported and still running Japan setup)

I want the original jap gas - ive been told its illegal ( doesnt bother me) and due to this its (apparently) impossible to get.

There must be a cheaper option than $260 ???

Does anyone know of anyone who has done this to a GTR???

.......im melting :D

We do the conversion for $200 at my work for an R32 GTR.

The problem with R12 is that you won't be able to find it anymore. It's not illegal up here, dunno about NSW. But the only people who still have it are either getting rid of their old stock, or getting old degases from wreckers to illegally stock up on it. If you want to still run R12 then you will have to find an old A/C outlet where they may have some old stock left.

to give you and idea i paid 99 for a regas from a mobile service he came to my house and did it, as well as checking the whole system for leaks.

just look at yellow pages and you will see heaps of mobile services just ring one and see how they sound.

Im guessing your in QLD??

Do you know of anyone who can do the conversion in NSW ??

Id prefer to have a name and number instead of hitting the yellow pages and speaking to people who pretend to know what theyre doing with it rather than actually knowing what they're doing with it

Thanks

Tell him Andrew that had a black beema sent you.

If you pay cash should it be $90 and he does a really good job. Just got mine done last week and its %$# freezing...

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
