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

      That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.

      I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.

      Shifting questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.
