I have found a place that can supply a brand new zexel compressor to fit r33 sreies 1

they are not cheap, but if you have gone throught the hassle of buying shit ones form

the wreckers buy/fit/regass only to find they last several months at best

then its worthwhile considering a newbie. :D

Im waiting for mine to be delivered, just to make sure everything is perfect

before i suggest to this place to everyone else

You would be looking about $750+25 delivery

which is equivalent to buying 2 crap ones from the wreckers & having them regassed!!

the original compressor lasted for over 10years, so another new one should last for the life of the car

Im sure they would be able to get one for your car too. They will require all the numbers & possibly photos

of the compressor to make sure it matches up.

You can get them rebuilt too. Just another option ;)

I have been told no one will rebuild these...have you had one rebuilt?

Where could you get them rebuilt? how much does it cost to rebuild?

and would it come with a warranty?

im assuming that it wouldnt be much less than a replacement unit?

When i looked at getting my 32 compressor rebuilt a few ppl said there's no rebuild kits left for them. Maybe that same has now happened for 33s?

A rebuild should come with a warrantee.

Good points you made. I havent had one rebuilt but if i did i would contact Mr cool here in Brisbane. It would come with a warranty or they would never get any work. I think from memory they are around $300 to rebuild your average compressor. Its mostly just large o-rings, bearings and they probably replace the clutch.

Most compressors can be rebuilt, but no one wants to rebuild these!!

...has anyone actually tried to get one rebuilt??

Hi,

I'm interested in this thread aswell, so anyone had one rebuilt?

I took my r32 gtr to get the aircond checked out, and they said that the compressor needs replacing and the quote was approx $1700 including labour.

So questions are.

Anyone had a R32 GTR Compressor rebuilt?

is the R32 GTR compressor same as R32 GTST or any other cars?

Can anyone give a URL for a new replacement R32 GTR compressor?

cheers,

Michael

When I had my N14 pulsar, the compressor in it went on me. It was a zexel. I tried to get mine rebuilt, I even bought a s/h one for parts to make one out of two. I struck the same sort of thing, no-one could or wanted to rebuild it so I was forced to buy a new one from nissan, cost $640 and a regas. no-one seems to have any parts for the zexel.

they are the same, the GTR just has a small relocation pipe that bolts onto the compressor to move the fitting forward 3 inches or so.

swapped a GTST one for a GTR one on sunday.

+1 for Mr Cool in brisbane, if they can't rebuild it I doubt anyone can. I've got a few contacts for places that will get them in if you provide numbers, they mainly sell business to business but are known for a cash sale :P Pm if you want details

    • Hah, I have no issues with what you are doing whatsoever! You clearly know what you are getting yourself into. It's just funny reading things like this. "What's that noise?" "Oh, that's normal. That's just the engine not getting any oil. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away in a moment"  
    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
    • Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
