Hey fellow Skyline friends.

Was using my aircon the other night when it died.

got it checked out and found it was the compressor.

Does any1 have a compressor to suit an Rb25DET R33 skyline..

Need it pretty quick as its getting to over 40degrees here in rockhampton.

Cheers.

Michael

My aircon shat itself about a year ago because i never used it, which causes the seals to dry out. Now it's summer i really want it going again, particularly since my car is black. An aircon place here in Cairns told me that sending mine off to be rebuilt (in Brisbane) and back on my car will take about a week and $1500. I asked if i should buy a 2nd hand one off ebay and hope it was in working order and he warned me that any aircon that has been off the car for a while (as unused) is likely to seize up anyway because of the seals, and will therefore require a rebuild in most cases anyway. As my car is simply my weekend warrior i have no problem losing it for as long as it takes but if you need your car day to day perhaps buy one and have it freshened up first, then book the car in to have the work done when convenient. I have watched compressors go off on ebay for $30.

oh rightio. I see...

I cannot get a compressor from anywhere here in rocky.

700 bucks fitted and all that jazz if i can find a compressor..

Is turbo model engine the same compressor as the RB25DE??

Because repco can get 1 of them but not for a turbo. Just curious.

The weather here in rocky is TOOO hot not to have the lovely skyline climate control.

Cheeeers, Michael

I dunno if they are interchangeable. Stick to what you have would be the safest bet. I have a series 1 and wanted to buy a series 2 compressor because it had much lower k's when removed from the car but the seller told me that the pipes were different sizes so i decided against it. you have an r33gtst s1 correct? next time i find a cheapie on ebay i'll post you a link. there are plenty of skyline wreckers in the brisbane area that would have a better idea than i do

I can confirm that S1 and S2 compressors are different sizes, i have a S1 but i managed to fit a S2 compressor on by using bigger O'rings..

i wouldnt advice this but i had no idea what series compressor i bought..

hope this helps. :P

I have a turbo R33 A/C compressor sitting here unsure if it is series one or two. I got it for free from a wrecker down here when chasing one for a R32 because he wasn't sure if it would work or not and just so you know the inlets on of the pipes is a think 1-2mm bigger on the R33 for then the R32. The biggest problem for a compressor would be postage as it is heavy as hell.

I know of Mark Gibbs Panel House which is just off Moss Street near me (Logan City). I can't remember how much it cost me to get my R32 compressor sent up from Nisswreck in melb as I had alot of trouble finding a working R32 one.

    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
