Hey everyone.

I was driving my rb20det r32 when it was raining today with the aircon on and my car started making a hising noise then the engine turned off.

I pulled over and turned the aircon off then started the car and it ran normally. I drove for a while then turned the aircon on and it started making the hising noise again and threatened to turn off.

What could be the problem? Im sure its only related to the air-conditioning because it boosts, sounds and idles normal.

Thanks in advance.

If its doing it only when your AC is on, i would think its AC related.

Check the belt for the compressor isn't frayed or worn. If the compressor is on the way out, it will put unnecessary drag on the motor; the idle valve isn't enough to stop the motor from dieing?

Yeh, the motor still dies. What do i check for in the airflow meter? what could be wrong?

did you convert your ac system to r134a?

the different gas makes the compressor work harder causing it to steal a lot of power from the engine.

When i turn on my ac when driving, i have to neutral + rev it a bit so it doesnt stall as i come to a stop. After doind that once, the revs stay up around the 700rpm. Just the first time i need to give it a bit of help.

anyone know why? would it relate to the ecu learning to keep the rev's up at the next stops etc?

Sweet, nice work.

So is the AC comp seized? hard to rotate?

yes its seized, needs replacing. i found a compressor on the sau for $50, do u think its worth buying it if i dont know wether it works? I thought they were worth above 250??

thanks

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
