i want to convert my air con to R134A as it was imported as R12. Does anyone know where i can get a conversion kit with new reciever dryer and pipe fittings to do the conversion, i'm sure someone has had to do this before, i don't want to know where i can get it done as i'll do it myself just where to buy the parts. thanks in advance for any help

You are not allowed to do it yourself. You have to be a certified A/C repairer to do it. The old gas has to be stored in a container and disposed of properly because it is ozone depleting. The R134A gas is toxic to humans. Cost is $200 if you live in brisbane, PM me for details if you wish.

well to give you the facts i work in a dealership thus all parts are genuine so i didn't know that jayair supply them thus why i asked. next time just answer the question without being a smartarse.

Well I'm sorry that you thought I was being a smart arse but that was not how I intended it to read. There's the information - would you like part numbers also?

I have a full list of them at work (won't be til Monday now though)

No worries, I will find out on Monday. I just spoke to my boss then and he hasn't got anything listed as specific for the R32 GTST but he said that we will definately be able to match it up so I'll take mine off on Monday and get the number for the correct parts and prices. Shouldn't be any more than around $40 for everything.

OK, here are some pics of my RECEIVER/DRYER which is to suit an R32 GTST

If these match yours, then the part number is RD5010

The dimensions are 200mm HIGH x 60mm DIAMETER. M20 Thread on inlet and M16 thread on outlet. It has two male switch points perpendicular to the in/out. Only one should have the sensor in it.

so what exactly has to be changed? my whole system is out at the moment, so i might as well buy the parts and change everything over, then get it refilled proffesionally.

The only things that require changing are the RECEIVER/DRYER (pictured) and the fittings to the High and Low side of the system - Red and blue caps.

Red is high, Blue is low.

And dont treat R134A with contempt either. Whilst it may not harm the ozone, it still contributes to global warming. It too will be phased out of use and replaced with Carbon Dioxide

R134a still harms the ozone layer... just about 1000 times less than R12

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
