nzarano Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 has anyone used this ebay ac kit? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ADD-ON-A-C-FOR-DATSUN-240Z-260Z-280Z-COMPLETE-AC-SYSTEM-PAYPAL-ACCEPTED-/180864441964 I have seen it mentioned a few times but no one has actually talked about their experience with it.... wondering if this would be easier to install than a vintage air kit. having trouble keeping up with all the parts needed for a vintage air install summer is approaching so trying to sort my car out before i start to melt! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihiryu Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I mean it says it's complete. Seems like a worthwhile deal for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesymamba Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I Bought Their Under hood kit Haven't installed it yet but it was pretty complete came with everything I needed except an idler pulley. But that kit is for people with existing factory AC setups I dont know what the complete kit comes with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Is that the one where you have to drill a 3 inch hole through the firewall by the battery holder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Do not get that ebay kit. Working on one now, vintage air was easier to install and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzarano Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 ended up buying a vintage air kit but now need to find someone to help me install it in nj or pa... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Good move. Them saying that kit is made for a Datsun is like saying a window unit is made for a Datsun. I'm sure a window unit would fit in the hatch of the Z, but doesn't mean you should attempt to do something like that. They could at least send you the autozone carpet curtain they put in the picture of their ad to cover that monstrosity up. That one is really meant for a Jeep or hot rod with a really tall flat firewall, not something as small as a Z car.Where you have to hole saw a 3" hole through the firewall, at least on a 78 using the defrost option, you then have to trim the battery tray to be able to connect the fittings. Pure garbage. Then you have to drill a 1.25" drain hole for the drain pipe, and 3 holes through the firewall to mount it. I don't think I had to drill one hole to mount my vintage air compac, and it's totally hidden, no autozone carpet curtain required. This picture is from their ad.
