Hi All,

Finally got around to getting my aircon converted to R134a. Good news is the conversion went A-OK, the compressor is fine, and the system isn't leaking. Bad news is that its not automatically switching on.

The guy who did the conversion said he could manually force it on (hence he knows it works), but for whatever reason the car wasn't doing it automatically -- he said it was a "high side electrical problem".

What is it with these cars? You fix one thing, and then something else breaks?! :)

So, does anyone know a good sparkie they can recommend, preferably in the inner west (but I am guessing that is unlikely: have car, will travel)?

Edit: I am tempted to dump it at the local auto-elec and give them a copy of relevant section from the workshop manual, but I guess I would rather someone with some experience with Skylines.

Cheers,

Lucien.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
