hey guys i have a datto1000 ute with an E15 turbo in it. the misses mite have to use it as a daily driver but she refuses unless i put aircon in it. has anybody put aircon in a 1000? i was thinking of looking down at u pull it for newish aircon parts, i heard u can mix and match some stuff. (compressor ect..) is that right?

no reason you can't,
I've seen AC in a VB10 with an A15,
Weekend1000 has the factory ac out of a 120y he's going to fit it to a KB10..
get some mates at the local AC place..

Air con was an option when they were new so I dont see why not.

Here is a KB10 with factory air.

Actually, aircon was an 'accessory' but not an 'option'
Yes I know, I'm a pedantic S.O.B. but it wasn't listed in the options in the brochure, but is shown as an available kit in the parts book as an accessory.
They called it "Kit-Cooler, Room-Dash.

I tried to buy one in 1980 but was told that it was never listed as being available in Australia.

Tell her to just wind the windows down and go faster. Though anythings possible time and money are the solution.

Speaking of air-con, how well do stock a12s run with an air-con unit in them? Are they rediculously slow? Or are they not that bad ie. they still move when you put your foot on the accelerator.

I'm sure anything is possibe!

I swear i saw an airconditioner unit for an A-series on Ebay not that long ago, it had a picture of the unit that fits under the glovebox, not sure if it had the compressor and the complete kit though, i only had a quick look.

My mate bought a Hilux with a unit similar to the pic the sidedraught posted, he found out later on that that particular unit is an aftermarket set-up, and to buy a new complete set-up cost a fair bit, it was already in the car when he purchased it. It worked quite well! espeically if you were the passenger, it blew a cool breeze up your shorts!!
The only problem with it was because of where it's situated when we went shooting or up the bush on the 4WD tracks,i (being the passenger) used to always bash my knees and shins on the bloody thing! other than that it worked quite well

girlfriend/wife in a old datsun, good in theory, but not good in practice. Its slow, its small, it doesnt have power steering, no aircon (then you get it and it doesnt have enough power), etc etc
I bid you good luck

i got an ac unit out of a datsun sunny the radiator the thing that looks like one needs a bit of work but the rest is working. anyone interseted let me know.
