I got confused. My son's S13 was emptied in Japan and refilled here with R134a' My S1 has a Japanese R134a sticker and after going through the comp. papers there is no mention of regassing. So S1 and S2 should not need regassing here. Sorry for confusing you

As before, some countries dont use R134A gas (the good gas), so i guess as a measure to protect the enviroment here the EPA has a deal with DOTARS not to let in ANY imported (there are many more countries that sell cars to Aus that japan) cars with ANY gas in their A/C.

Then, everyone will have R134A here.

And yes, regassing is about $100

Mike the answer to your question

Do Stagea need to be de-gassed?

No Stagea's do not need to be re-gassed as they have R134A gas already

Only cars coming in with the old R12 gas need to be de-gassed and re-gassed with R134a.

Are you certain, ive heard of many R33's being degassed....my celsior which came factory R134A was degassed too...

Yes

That is because some idot in Japan de-gassed it.

Does not mean it had to be de-gassed

The old R12 gas is not legal in Oz anymore, hence the re-gass requirement.

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
