370Z Air Con

Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

My 2010 370Z convertible has developed an air con issue.

 

Had it checked by air con specialist and the condenser has cracked.

 

Appears that I need new radiator & condensor as these are connected together. Also require new pipe.

 

Rad etc comes in at £650 plus plus. Pipes at £380 plus. Estimate to fix including parts circa £1,600.

 

Anyone got any ideas or know where best to look for non-dealer parts better than these prices.

 

My wife said i don't need the air con - just put the roof down! I like everything to work and just in case we get ONE of those proper summer days when the sun is beating down on you stuck in traffic!!

 

Many thanks.

Hi Alex

you are probably fed up with me by now - I really do appreciate your help in solving this riddle. The following is a picture of the kit I bought when I purchased the Mishimoto condenser. You will see that there are 4 pipes/hoses in the kit and what I need is not these. Hopefully you can see the problem I am having. Nissan say there are only 3 - my garage saying I need one over and above the 4 I already have. I can’t get to the bottom of it!!!

 

I have also attached the pipe I purchased from Nissan last week, that they told my garage I needed but my garage have said that I already had this in the original kit.  That’s as far as I got with Nissan. They couldn’t tell me any more.

 

I am sending this from my wife’s iPad/email as for some reason I couldn’t add photos.
 
Regards
Paul

Hi Alex

 

My garage has removed the damaged pipe. I have attached the pictures of it. You will see from the pictures that it is bolted on to the compressor and the other end is push fit and links to the pipe coloured blue in the diagram schematic you sent me.

 

The push fit end represents the upper "tail" in the diagram.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Regards
