Im2cocky Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Going thru heck trying to figure out AC Compressor Bracket set up 1977 280z Factory set up. Has anyone changed out to another compressor for 134a what will bolt up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgsheen Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 As long as the stock compressor is in good working order, it'll be fine with R134a. I'm running the stock A/C system in my '74 260 with R134a and we just converted my son's '76 280 last summer... We both have turbo swaps but kept the factory A/C system intact - can't live in Arizona with no A/C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 +1 on the R134 conversion. I put in a new dryer bottle, and changed all the o-rings in the unions to compatible ones. I also drained as much oil from the system as i could. Then I squirted in the R134a compatible oil, and pumped the R134a in after doing a system integrity test. It has been working for 10 years with light use here in NY. Not sure if this helps but here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im2cocky Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks yours is the same as mine. I am just having trouble getting compressor. No longer in stock anywhere. Looking at a couple of other years models of nissan for a swap. Clean machine you got.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
