Hi Fellas,

Finally got my aircon regassed today and thought id drive home in a nice car to find that the connectors on the air con compressor thing thats connected to the fan belts is not connected.

Now the history of the car was it went from an rb25det to an rb26dett and i had the engine and chassic wiring loom changed to suit the rb26dett so that it wasnt a hack job with the rb25 wiring loom.

Now my question is where do i start looking for these connectors. Ive looked around and cant find anything. I dont have any wiring diagram either.

Can anyone help with this please. Also the car is an r33

Cheers

Ray

The gas is in the system, it has nothing to do with the re-gassing. It has to do with the connectors on the air con compressor. I cant find it. I presume it will connect to the engine loom somewhere and im looking for info on where to find those connectors

To be a bit more clearer, heres a pic circled in red for which i would like to know where the connector is.

Also after i was looking for the connectors and moving the wiring loom, now once i turn the ignition on the thermo fan turns on which it never used to. Cold or hot dont matter???

Help....

Something sounds fishy.

Like already said, to regas the system, it *must* be running to get it right otherwise its a complete guess job. No reputable workshop would say they regassed it without testing it, unless you stubbornly insisted they do.

The only way to test it is to run it. You cannot get the correct amount of gas in without running the system and measuring low and high side pressures. If you underfill it, the evaporator will ice up on one side. If you overfill it, you could destroy the compressor. Likewise, you cannot verify if the AC thermostat, wiring (oh snap), TX valve, low/high pressure switch and a myriad of other things are working without testing the AC runs.

Also, the AC runs from the climate control, through the engine computer. You say the chassis loom was replaced, was it all from the same year model GTR? This means you had the dash out and replaced the loom that runs from the battery, through the driver side firewall above the accelerator, into the SMJ, behind the dash (including the climate control), all the way to the passenger side where the ECU is. If that's the case, it should all just work. The plug for the AC compressor should be part of the engine loom.

Hi Bozz,

Thanks for that, yup im just suspecting that the plug on the compressor didnt get connected. Do you know where roughly from the chassic loom, this connector would start out also if needed what colour codes are the wires???

Damn no one wants to look under their bonnet i suppose. Well if some one can point me in the right direction on where this connector ought to be that would be good or worst case just the colour codes, please.....

Need to get this sorted

Hey dude, I replied to your pm just a second ago, but figured that if anyone else came across this issue then it might be handy to paste it here too:

So my mechanic friend had a look at the colour codes for you, and he says that there are two plugs going to the compressor. The closest plug to the front of the engine is a single wire and it goes to the magnetic clutch. The plug furtherest away is blue with an orange stripe.

As for the loom plugs, he said that they come out from under the air box (I’ve got a fairly fixed cold air box so we didn’t take it off and have a thorough look, but they should come out under where the high side of the air con pipe is).

I hope that helps!

Not sure if that's exactly what you were after, but fingers crossed it helps in some way.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
