Fixing Aircon For R33

[Mayuri Krab]

Hey guys

Was wondering which air con shops you recommend to take a skyline to get its air con fixed. Preferably NOR.

Yes, I know there is a workshop thread but all the shops listed there are for performance related things & there is no air con shop listed.

Its not a simple re-gas, as the 1st guy I called did that already & didn't fix the problem, he then tried to replace the 2 valve things (he called them TX valves) & that didn't work neither & then his pretty much ran out of ideas.

I tried another shop & ask them for possible problems & the resulting costs, & they couldn't really tell me neither & simply just resulted to the 'replace everything' solution & quoted me about $1.2k for the job. Also I didn't really want to leave my car in that shop as there were a couple of bogan dudes working there who started making stupid BOV sounds with their mouth when they saw my car.

So what shops have you used to fix your air cons that you had good experience with?

Thanks.

some bullshit coil thing died and they diagnosed it pretty quick

cost was around 500 including regas and new coil thingy

With R33's it's quite common for the compressor bearings to fail, which means a new compressor, as they're not rebuildable. Hopefully someone can diagnose the problem without it costing a fortune.

heh. i'm SotR, got mine fixed at Schultz. probably too far for you

i had to get a new compressor. got it from KYP and Schultz put it in for me. i don't think they are the cheapest, but very good.
