Hi all, I am working on an R32 GTR and have run into an issue with the AC.  When I got the car, it had most of the AC components, but not functional.  I had a new clutch put on the compressor and checked the diagnostics on the dash and all seem good.  When I charged the system, it's not pumping.  Clutch is engaged and compressor spins fine, but not pumping at all.  At the rear of the compressor, there is a plug with a red wire and green wire.  Neither have power.  I think this is a high pressure bypass valve, but currently is not receiving power.  I want to know which wire is the power input and what voltage?  If someone can unplug their's and check, it would be appreciated!  Thanks!

I have looked at the diagrams and they show the wires, but not the continuity.  I just need to know which has the power going in.  It's important that I know which is proper as if I run power the wrong way, I may or may not fry the switch.  

Help me out with that, as it's certainly not clear.  In most wiring diagrams, the continuity will have an arrow on the circuit showing flow of power.  There is nothing on the standard Nissan diagrams that I can see.  It shows ground, but it's a shared ground and not clear.

The wires literally START at the 12v rail and run to the earth rail. I have NEVER seen arrows on an automotive wiring diagram. This isn't kindergarten.

Just follow each wire back from the plug (on the diagram). One will go earthwise and the other will go to a power source.

LOL, thanks for the help.  I'll just figure it out myself.  You sure you aren't in South Florida with that attitude?

    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen. 
    • Front seats now in, fixing a little rust then front doors sealed up again finished. had to install a fire extinguisher within arms distance of drivers seat for hill climb regulations. little bit of good old silo diff action lol IMG_9146.mov
