ac? Do you mean air conditioning? If so, stock is fine.

The sport touring does make a noticable difference in the feel of the suspension if the oem shocks are in good working order. You should feel a good increase in stiffness when in the sport mode.

The rear wiper button is the flip switch on the bottom of the a/c pod.

I remember my first day in my Z32. Took me a few minutes to figure out where most everything was. Plus the previous owner upgraded a lot of stuff and moved things around. Anybody have recommendations on what to do if the A/C sucks already and I am considering installing an underdrive pulley? Don't know much about "performance" A/C but I figure I will need to upgrade with unit's poor performance and then making it weaker. Thanks

Be very weary of off brand junk on ebay.

If you're looking to go fast, have the A/C turned off, less parasitic drain if the compressor clutch isn't engaging. And to DunnJH4....if your A/C isn't up to par, have it evac'd and recharged and that should take care of things. If it gets weak again, have them check for leaks in the system.
