The compressor was $100 used and the condenser was $150 but that was with my shop account at Autozone. It will be a bit more regularly

Next video should be on the Z.

Your welcome!! I’m happy to hear that it helped you out

They were good. Only issue with them is they were noisy when it got cold. If this is what you can afford it’s a good choice until you can get something better. I have a set on a different car and those have had no issues for 2yrs so far

Yours might be different but on mine one hose clamp was just positioned in a way that I couldn’t get to it until I got the other two off. Hoses came off fine

@@cichfish7525 if you have a voltmeter I usually check the voltage at the battery when the truck is running. Then I check for battery voltage at the positive terminal on the back of the alternator with the truck off. If I have voltage there but it’s not charging it’s usually just a bad alternator. There’s other tests you can do but this has always worked for me. Way back in the day with older cars you were able to remove the negative battery terminal to test an alternator but you don’t wanna do that with this truck. It worked with older cars since they didn’t have much electronics on them

If it’s not too far I’d go get it

You welcome. I’m really happy to hear that this is helping out

😂

Yes it’s gonna get retuned

I’ve honestly had better luck with Amazon and eBay than I do with Autozone and O’Reillys. If it last the summer I’ll be ok with it lol

I say it does. The owner talked to his tuner and said he didn’t but will be getting it retuned anyways

You can take it to a shop to have it recovered or you can slowly release it to atmosphere. You aren’t suppose to do it that way but if you can’t get to a shop or don’t have the money to spend at the shop it can be down that way.

@@fixitish ok, do i let out pressure from both valves the H and L valves? Thanks

You can do that. When I’ve had to do it that way i would loosen a bolt for a hose that was gonna need to come off but not fully take it off just a little lose and move the hose a bit. It will start leaking pretty quickly

@@fixitish thanks bro big help, once i have the new one on do i have to get it refilled somewhere or can i just buy the freon at walmart and do it myself? Cuz i know you have to ad oil but dont know if those walmart freon bottles with gauges come withoil

You can refill it yourself if you go rent the tools for it you’ll need to use the ac manifold gauges and vacuum pump. If you don’t wanna go through all that a shop can recharge it for not too much. And you’ll also need to make sure you add oil to the compressor. If you get a new one it will usually say it comes prefilled with some but you’ll need the correct amount for this car

It’s possible it’s that switch. It sounds like a low refrigerant condition with it turning on and off

@@fixitish thanks. One thing I noticed is my cabin air temp sensor reading -22 even tho I just bought a brand new one from the dealership. It’s not always -22 but it’s reading wrong temp. I had one place tell me it’s my ac amplifier unit but not sure.

@@rexxor4219 it’s really easy to damage those sensors. It might just be bad even tho it’s new and oem

The new compressor typically comes with a small amount of oil, but you should add the total system oil capacity minus what you drained from the old compressor. For the 2008 Nissan 350Z, the total system capacity is approximately 6.75 to 7 ounces (200 ml) of PAG 46 oil.

@@rexxor4219 Thanks for replaying. I checked some online sources it say Oil type is Pag 100. Are you sure its Pag 46 ?

@@travelheaven6593 Oh my bad, you are correct. Also, I have a method for Infiniti's/Nissans where you can instantly force the compressor on if you need that.

@@rexxor4219 Sorry but Not sure about that. I ordered a brand new compressor and just need to know the correct amount of Oil which it requires adding. Its okay I will try look more and hopefully find it. Thanks for replying

@@travelheaven6593 If the manual specifies a certain amount, follow that. Generally, for a new compressor, add about 2 ounces directly to it.

No you leave it alone. Only unbolt the ac compressor but leave all the lines connected

@@fixitish ok cool, every other video said to. Just wanted to make sure It wasn’t necessary. Thanks!

@@mikesempier if you don’t feel comfortable doing it that way you can drain the ac system and remove the compressor completely but it’s not necessary. Just be careful to not move the lines too much and end up damaging them. You’ll feel how much it can move

@@fixitish you the man, thank you!

Yes 👍🏽

It’s about the same process with a few more steps. Not harder but definitely more work

No special tool needed

Currently stuck on that specific bolt, can’t take it off. Where you able to?

Good luck!!!

Thanks, it’s almost out but the egr in the back keeps getting. Stuck on the firewall, any tip? I noticed you already had yours deleted

@@samogunjumo5539you can lower the subframe a bit to get some more space to get the engine out

@@fixitish didn’t need to I got it off just needed to jack the trans a bit thanks!!!

@@samogunjumo5539hell yeah good job!!

I did 3 pulls in a row, my best guess is that the cylinder got too hot at the piston rings butted up again each other and that’s what took out that piston. The fuel pump was bad as well so going lean contributed in the cylinder getting hot. I’ll probably try and make a video on common 300zx problem someday but that might be about the whole car lol 😆

Yes I added some pag oil to the condenser. I believe the total capacity for the ac system is 4oz so I only added about 1oz maybe less the the condenser

I looked at it and didn’t think it would come out through there. Good to know that it can be done through there as well.

Took me 2 1/2 hours. It was a pain in the A....

@fixitish invert it and turn and it comes out. Pull the lines out of the way and move the power steering pump up and over to the right and it's a wide open shot.

@@jeffsullivan3573 sure is

Z32 balance tube. It’s hard to say what could be without being there to check the carries it stay on if you hold the throttle open a bit?

@@fixitish dont know if you have IG or anything but i can def send a video to you.

@@microevolved7073 you can email me [email protected]

I’ll have to try this out next time I have one of these to work on

What button?

@@Max-lx8xk it's kind of a button, it's just the little thing that gets pushed down when you close the door telling the car the door is open/closed. Press that 5 times fast and it will go into the diagnostic mode. I'm pretty sure it was just that one button 5 times but if that doesn't work for some reason search for it on the infinity forums. I used it to figure out my AC clutch was shot while the system had zero freon in it

@@kylebusc3624 thanks

It has an h pipe currently, im starting to suspect the turbos. I’m hoping its not that but it might be

Its does suck that work takes up a lot of our time but its been one of the easiest things I’ve ever done as far as work goes. Hopefully its nothing too serious with your car, good luck man 👍🏽

If your in the phoenix area I can help you out

I’m gonna have to try this out, I always just turned the ac on and let it get to operating temp. That always worked for me. thanks for the info

lol *valve train cover

@@fixitish 🤭 iam try finish my z32 noting bad just timing ⏱️ and a few tings like a new w/pump and fixing a power/steering leak you know keeping the old car fresh. nice content god bless 🙏🏾😃

@@maxmax9722 thanks for watching the videos, I hope everything goes well with your car and you get it back together soon with no issues 👍🏽
