i had this issue as well... mainly happend after i installed my stereo... i found it was because the hose was closed behind the console where the stereo is. Theres a little sensor type vent thing in the console/dash surround which looks like about 3 slits... at the back of these slits is a hose... i uncrimped this and it worked fine again... altho now it takes AGES to get cold... i think it just needs regasing.

Hey there

I just got my AC fixed 2 weeks ago, my compressor died - Compressors tend to go anywhere up to 250 for a 2nd hand one from a wrecker, but can be picked up as cheap as 150..

If you need it checked out, go to a place called "Norms Auto Air" (03) 9876 8611 @ 5/401 Maroondah Hwy Ringwood

He's a genuine bloke and will look after you, there are so many sharks out there in the Automotive AC industry!!!!!

BTW Tell him chicane with the red R33 who's compressor died sent you :cheers:

hey all just readin this thread and thought i would post a reply seens i am an air conditioner fitter and repair as well as a auto elec

well my r33 just did a compressor last week new ones i found are ex japan thats through my nissan dealer and well he said they are bout 1000 dollas delivered which isnt taht dear cos most on various aussie cars are bout 500 to 800 bucks

just for the comp

now if it is the comp you will need a regas and if want it to last as long as possible you should replace the reciever drier 'the little cylinder on the left hand side nex to the air box' as well

now i dont know how much one ( still waiting on call back)is but you should only get a new one so it all works good

if you can get hold of both of them they really arent that hard to fit just time consuming but its a good money saver for you cos the air con bloke only has to vac it down and regas it

all you need is a new orings for the hose fittings and some sealant for them or oil them up

its as easy as that

pm me if you want some ideas on what could be wrong

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
