Hey guys,

I have recently replaced my AC compressor. I got it leaked tested. Vacuumed and it passed. I had it re-gased but it wasnt quit as cold as i expected it to be. I used 2 cans of R12 (was really hard to find). It blew cool air for about 3 days. I used it up to the night before. When i woke up in the morning it was blowing ambient air. Ran diagnostics and all of the sensors passed. Compressor clutch kicks in everytime i cut on the AC. But still does not cool. Checked the door mixer flap to see if the motor was sticking but its working 100% so it cant be that. What i did notice was that on the sight glass of the dryer unit the gas wasnt flowing as fast as it was when i first got it gassed up. DO you think i need to add more refrigerant? Has the gas that i used broken down? Did I use enough cans of refrigerant. The system was completley empty before i re-gased. Also I took down the glove box and ran the AC i can hear the refrigerant run across the evaporator coil but when i put my hand on there it isnt cold at all. TX Valve clogged maybe? I must say it does blow hot hair. In diagnostic mode #5 my readings are kinda high. all in the mid to high thirties. Cant remember them off the top of my head. Help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
