does anyone know which datto's came out with air con from factory in australia?

I have a A/C set up in my 1200 ute in works wild but im taking it out if somebody wants to buy make me an offer has everthing you need compressor pipes switchs evaporator condensor dryer the lot so if you live in adleaide or dont mind it in the post e mal me or send me a PM

If anyone buys a late model import Bakkie in Sydney, I'd happy to buy the A/C stuff off you for $300-$700.

I mainly need the in-cabin stuff. I'm happy to use the S13 Silvia stuff in the enginebay.

It's just a thought, and it may never make it into my project...but it needs to be in a condition suitable for a showcar..no broken plastic bits.

Let me know via PM.

My computer is really slow and it would take a long time to answer my PM about air con so i answer them here.

I to ran my air con set up of my A12 you have to wait for the motor to be warm to turn the compressor on. You can run a idler adjuster on some carbys to compensate for the minimul increase of load.

I dont want it cose my car right now is in bits and I need cash to get it back together and air con is not on the my wish list im looking around the $400 mark -4DALOT-

If the aircon crippled a cold 1200, i shudder to think what it did to a Datsun 1000, yet they were listed as being available.
My parts book lists the complete kit as "Kit. Cooler. Room, Dash"

I don't suppose anyone has one? Please.
Like Dattodude, i would want the cabin parts, &, if possible, the compressor mount for the early A12 & the A10 engine, the rest can be made or adapted.

Yes, I'm sure that the A/C takes considerable hp to run when it is on. But also consider that A/C bogs down 7-liter engines at idle, hence the "idle adjustment compensator" mentioned by matsfatdat. This is generally a small solenoid on the idle stop of the carb that turns on if the A/C is on. It just raises the idle speed a little.

If one were to use a modern swashplate type compressor, particularly if it had a variable incidence swashplate, the smaller engines can be relieved of a great deal of load at lower power settings. The small cab of a ute would be easy to cool, but the greater volume in a wagon, now thats a diferent story.

At my house, we setup the A/C on the Toyota AE86 to work with the SR20DET. Wasn't that hard. Most Nissan engines have the extra A/C idle valve. Just have it pull on when the compressor solenoid pulls on. Setting up the throttle based A/C cutout also makes it nice for when you are climbing hills, although with a CA18, you find you don't need to change gears much. I used to drive around in 2nd & 4th, pretty much all of the time.

Hot weather can raise "my idle", so having A/C is a good idea. It's about another 40kgs of weight..that's the downside. The CA18 compressor might get in the way too, so I'm not sure it'll work with my custom low-mount exhaust manifold. Might have to make a new exhaust manifold to achieve it. The CA18's compressor bracket to the block is about 15kgs in weight..
