I dont do air con "fixing" but whatever parts you need I can get pretty cheap.

If you need to go to someone who does aircon, I would recommend Tuggeranong Auto Electrics, the guys there are really cluey and good with Jap cars... If hes there you should try to speak to Stuart. :D

Oh, I would need to know exactly what the pipe looks like and what side it is on the air con system, then I would need to know what kind of fittings it has on either end (beadlocks, o'ring, pad or flange) then once you had the new pipe on it would need to be regassed anyway, and if its not R134a gas then its R12 gas and will have to be changed so you might need a new reciever drier aswell.... Complicated enough for you?

Heh heh :D Sorry I just like to prove how car smart I am sometimes... If you go to Tuggeraning Auto Elec they'll know exactly what pipe you need, then they'll call me and order it... So ill be getting it that way anyway :(

Well, its been nice being able to log on here all day recently but I wont be able to from tomorrow as the user of this computer will be returning to work and I will be forced to use the other computer again (which has no internet) so I will only be checking in after work... Just thought Id let you know :D

I thought so, I see your car everytime I go round to rinse off my car ( I park under a tree at work)...

I havent seen you do anything stupid yet :)

I work at Ingrams on Townsville street, pretty much straight across from the post office.

If you ever need anything Auto electrical or air con, drop in and see me, ill look ater you cos your a Skyline man :P

Yeah mate i've had this problem. what happens is the button has a hinge that attaches it from the top allowing it to be pressed in. this has broken. oyu just need to either glue it back together, or what i did, was glue a bit of plastic behind it to stop it rotating. if you pull it off you'll see what i mean.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
