Aircon Gassing + Conversion: Where/How much??

[lwells]

Hi Guys,

I tried this in the General Maintenance forum but am not getting many recommendations.

Anyway, its time to get the aircon checked out on my car and get it converted if need be, or simply regassed (if already converted).

Surely some of you guys most have gone through this process with your imports. Do you have any recommendations for auto sparkies and roughly how much were you charged?

At the moment I am being told ~$300 for the conversion, but nowhere I have rung has dealth with Skylines so aren't sure exactly which bits they have to order (so just take a guess at the price I expect).

Cheers,

Lucien.

I wen't to get regassed mine on the weekend and I was told it needs to be converted.

$220 for conversion and new gas but they need to order the parts in.

Does anyone know of anyone who can regas with old gas?

If so PM me.

[lwells]

$220 is cheaper than I am being quoted: where did you get that price from?

What's this converted bullshite?

CFC to non CFC?

I got two people in the Homebush area that can do regas and Skyline conversions.

The $220 was in Blacktown.

I'll probably go to him unless something better pops up.

Today had the car regassed with R12 (edit:: It wasn't actually R12 - they now use SP34e, which is essentially R134a with an additive to make it compatible with R12 systems - doesn't seem as cold ) for $85 + GST. It was done in Sale, VIC, so that won't help you LW, but it's out there.

the gas bottle they need is from the pajero for r32 i tihnk its the 1990 one, they will also need to modify the switch. guy i took it to (in melb) it was 160 the lot regassed. now it gets nice and cold

i have a question!!!!

since it needed a regas obviously it lost the gas from somewhere, so you pay you $150+ and who knows how long it will last before it leaks again.

isnt the correct way when the test the bottle with some sort of ink to see if there is any leaks?

[Dahtone Racing]

our regas is usually about $130

because we regas, put oil for the compressor, and put in the dye to see any leaks.

that inclusive of any changes if old gas is being used?

[Dahtone Racing]

thats for either old or new gas

[Jordan]

What about just for a gas? No dye. I have had work done to my A/C which has already been converted. I already know my problem (I have had my faulty pump replaced with a GTR pump and found out the hard way that it dosent quite fit the rest of the system, requires a proper GTSt pump, still waiting on it) but yeah, only need a cheap gas-up.

[Dahtone Racing]

just gas is i think $90
