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. :D

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

Thanks.

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

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.

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
