I'm an auto electrician and it took me 10 minutes to find the battery in an A class mercedes, it was under the drivers carpet mat!! Mind you it then took me fifteen minutes to fit the tracking system so i had a win there. My boss gave up after 5 min and said "that's what i pay you for".

nice, havent seen those kits, but 0 guage is what i had to replace the wire in my 33 from the batery!! hard to find plus esxpensive to get connectors but if it is a kit it's all good!!!

I also notice that when the car is idling it seems to oscillate the revs till it finds a nice idle ie round 700rpm. Mostly the first time you stop at lights for eg.

the 'oscillating' is cause by the car nearly stalling, then the 'anti-stall' kicking in and injecting more petrol to prevent it! It takes the ECU a second or two to get it's head around the situation and even out the revs!

I had the same problem and my car would occassionally stall!

All I did was turn up the idle a bit and it works fine now... nothing outrages, just enough to stop it 'hunting' up and down the rev range!

    • Speaking of diverting threads, my second ever NISMO purchase…. I think they look pretty classy and just wanted to share 😅   PS: 1st was the oil drain plug 😂  
    • R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.
    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
