I had a couple of questions I was hoping someone knowledgeable about Skyline AC systems could answer. I wasn't sure what section was best to post this thread so apologies to the mods if it should be somewhere elas.

1. Will an R33 A/C compressor fit without modification to a different RB26 engine, say one meant for an R34? The reason I ask is because I'm planning on swapping the old tired motor in my R32 for a newer one meant for an R34 and since my car is a 1990 with the old R12 refrigerant that you can't get now I figured now would be a good time to swap the compressor for a newer one meant to run R134a and convert the system over.

2. Did all R33s use R134a? I know late model R32s were supposed to have switched so I assume the R33s had R134 systems but I just wanted to be sure. I've seen some used R33 compressors online and figured it'd be a safer bet to get one of those than get the wrong type of R32 compressor by mistake.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

      Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
