You're right 1200rallycar but I'm in a fairly remote area and there is nt anyone that really knows how to do that sort of work around here.

For a bit of a laugh, check out the response from HyChill below!

Quote:
Hey dude, this guy will need adaptors and fittings etc to make this #OOPS# fit and operate, the idea of a quick cheap fix is not a cheap quick fix. It will be painful to find out what suitable fittings are necessary to fit his ancient chariot he probably used at the coliseum.

For the most common cars domestically here, he requires : 1 x tap, 1 x adaptor for can, 1 x hose, 1 x coupling, 1 x adaptor on vehicle. Plus usually a gauge/manifold set to ensure is being done properly, approx. $250 worth assuming he doesn’t have anything. It’s going to be more than $45 to fix his ac issue...most workshops charge around $200 to fill ac system and they have all required items to perform the job.

I am not an a/c expert, I can merely go off what others say and have done previously, I am lazy and would happily just pay someone to do it. I do not know if flushing, shampooing, blow drying etc will be necessary but I think it should be cleaned out. Replacing the receiver drier would be good practice but usually I’ve only heard of them being replaced when not functioning correctly. Ideally he does need proper assistance from a qualified person.

We can provide all parts with no drama but being international I can see this turning badly when items are incorrect and #OOPS# don’t fit.

Has anyone got any pictures of where to mount the condensers?

I have the kit with two of them so not too sure which one goes where? One has a fan attached and the other is just on its own, perhaps one in front of the radiator and the other off to the side?

Also I am trying to figure out all the plumbing, have people made new holes in the firewall in the past or have they managed to use existing ports in the firewall.

Datsun 1000 mounted it in front of the radiator. 1200 improved it by mounting to the side with it's own fan. At least that was Datsun's intention. It was up to the installers to put in whatever they wanted.

In 1978 the first factory installation used a 2nd condenser

Appears to bolt in front of the radiator using the existing bolt holes.

Thank you Dave, I will hopefully have some install pics for the wiki once I get it done, thank you for the diagrams.

1200rc if you could take some pictures of your setup I would be very grateful.
