Doesn't anyone have a airconditioning compressor lying around for an R33 skyline that they think works and they don't need?

Or does anyone have a mate that's just done an engine transplant and doesn't need the compressor?

I'm desperate here. I need my aircon. Thanks to Red Devil, they "Serviced" it and now it doesn't work at all.. At least it used to work when you were driving along the freeway.

OR... anyone got any contacts at an airconditioning place taht they could recommend?

hello erin, don't get secondhand compressor as the seals in them been exposed to air would be rooted. it might work for a few wekks , but that's about it. be cheaper to go full aftermarket one from nipondenso for around $700 and it's guaranteed. also u sure it's ur compressor as skylines are at that ages where the condenser will poop themselves as mine did out of the blue and u will need to get custom one about $800 so either way ur going to be lighten to the tune of aroung 700-800. but if u really wanted to fenn from here has one at his house.

it looks like there was 3 different compressors on r31 skylines and one of them looks like it will fit. i think they're about $800 but there might be a bit of work to get it to work properly( hoses may be slightly different). i'll post the part number for that compressor tomorrow.

I have obtained an RB25DETT compressor which looks the same except for a little lug nut that doesn't look like it's been used in it's life, so hopefully this will be the right one and it will get me out of trouble for a while.

I've been told that Zexel compressors are the least reliable and the worst compressor. YAY. Just another lemon thing to add to my car's already long list :(

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.

      Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.

      Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
