[SuicidnS13]

So guys its time for me to pick up a 4 door play car/show car. 2 kids and no AC is no bueno, especially since to us car shows are a family affair. A VIP q45 or gs is my next step...

HD is way better on vimeo - a little drifting too so Turn your Speakers UP!

I don't mean to bash on you, but the lack of a/c in 240's in general annoys me as it is so easy to make it work with what ever swap you have. A 100% dedicated track car with no a/c is acceptable, a car that will only see the track a few weekends a year, is street driven the rest of the year, and that the a/c has been stripped out of because you want to save weight is completely retarded. You will be much happier with the small amount of extra weight(iirc less than 40 pounds) when you are driving in the middle of summer, when it is hotter than donkey balls in the fires of hell, and you have cool air spewing out of your vents driving away the evil donkey ball hell fire heat.

Sorry for the thread jack and good luck with the sale, it shouldn't be that hard as it is a very good looking car.

Let me re-ittirate.. 2 kids also.. LOL no room for a 6 year old and a 2 year old. And it was a dedicated track car for a while. Now its just a show whore since Im sick of replacing broken stuff. Its makes 410whp on the stock block for 2 years now. Not as much as my 2jz setup did but still a fun car.

I'd say it's generally forgone because people don't want to convert their system from R-12 to R-134a.

People don't want to buy the $5 conversion fittings and screw them on to the factory fittings to charge the system? I've had to convert systems from r-12 to r-134a, it takes about 20 minuets and that is with evacuating and recharging the system.(as long as the system doesn't have any leaks)

From what I've read the entire system needs to be retrofitted because 1) R-134a will eat at the older systems seals and 2) when a system is completely depleted you have to replace this one doohicky.

Please enlighten me if you feel otherwise, I'd love it. I have no A/C and I'm in southwest FL.

Yes, r-143a will eat the orings in the system,(modern cars have the same issues but tend to last a little longer as the orings are more resistant to the r-134a and not almost 20 years old) but it is not something that that is going to happen over night, unless the orings were bad to begin with. An ac system in good working condition that has been converted tor-134a will work for a good while before the system stars to have issues.

The doohicky you are talking about is most likely the receiver/drier, It cost $20-$30 and doesn't need to be replaced unless the system has been left open for more than the amount of time it takes to change an oring or another component in the system.(less than a couple hours)If you leave the system open for an extended period of time(more than a day or 2 depending on the humidity) it will be a good idea to replace it as it doesn't take much moisture to ruin the receiver/drier.

You have to take it to a shop and have them evacuate EVERYTHING out of the system. I converted mines last year because I live in AZ, so it's a must. Probably cost me a whole 300 for everything. Most of it was the services from the shop to evacuate everything.

How did you get it to work with the SR swap. From my understanding, one of the AC lines (one that goes to the conpressor) is in the way for turbo setup. PM me please.

To just evacuate the system it should be pretty cheap(easily less than $50, any place that charges more is just ripping you off) , the most expensive part of the whole thing is recharging it with r-134a which cost me about $90 at my local dealer(good old dealer mark up) and the only thing I got charged for was the r-134a because I'm friends with the service manager.
