The clutch master cylinder is located down on the firewall, just below an … d to the outside of the car from the brake master cylinder. I can't find anywhere to buy it other than from some redneck in his back yard on craigslist. Bleeding the hydraulic lines is also straightforward - except that there are two of them. Repeat until clear, fresh fluid comes out. I did have a 1 pound can of r-12 Freon that I used to bring the system up to its proper level when I first got the car. I purchase them in cans. I thought this may work.
Shop online, find the best price on the right product, and have it shipped right to your door. Go underneath the car, and attach a small section of appropriate size rubber hose to the bleed nipple, and put the end of it in a clean glass container, like an olive jar. Me being an automotive mechanic that has converted many systems, I was prepared to do the same to this vehicle. Ester oil is used in a conversion because it will mix with any remaining mineral oil left in the system. The fuse on the bottom left.
My car had 3 open lines, I replaced those and the whole system is working again and stoped shutting hot ai … r inside the vehicle trough the defrost vents. The bleeder is the brass-colored tube on the left side, with the black cap over the nipple in the inset on the upper left of the picture. Re: Fixing an air-conditioner in a '88 Z31. When I got this car it had r12 Freon in the system as you would expect from an older vehicle such as this. Also check to see if your compressor is even running Re: Fixing an air-conditioner in a '88 Z31.

R-12 is not illegal to use or own at all for those with proper certification. One day I ran the air-conditioner until it started to warm up and I pulled the evaporator cover off to find a solid block of ice. I didn't even change out the receiver drier on the last one I did although it's probably a good idea cost of fittings, o-rings, ester oil, and r134a.
I tried it and got caught by the owner, who was also a cop. Again, if anything is missing, please feel free to contact me. A retrofit to R134A would require new compressor seals, a whole new compressor, new hoses, etc. Blower motor pushing air through evaporator This allowed for a selection of infinitely variable airflow rates. There was a fan control amplifier which utilized a series of transistor-based circuits that continuously controlled the airflow blown out by the blower.
You should have a clutch pedal that is firm to the foot, and that works in the limits I've described Take the car to a quailified automotive air conditioning repair centre and have the system checked for faults. It was also my first Nissan so it taught me a few lessons about Japanese cars. If I was back home I would agree with your statement but the heat and humidity kills me here. Their should be 10 or 12 oz white bottles saying 134a on them. Unfortunately, the most common cause for an engine knock, is when the connecting rods and the pistons have more play than they should, causing them to move around in the cylinders. The hose should squirt a dark colored fluid into the jar.
I have done conversions by simply evacuating the R-12, replacing all easily accessed o-ring, draining as much old oil as possible, adding ester conversion oil, and then pulling system into vacuum for 15 minutes.

They were trying to charge me to figure out what they screwed up. The little boot in the picture actually holds the rod that presses the clutch fork level, activating the clutch. Submitted 2011-10-19 By Gene From Norwalk, Ct This filter drier was required to be changed for the warrenty to be effective.
Open the nipple slightly with the 10-mm wrench, and have your friend press the clutch pedal in again, just as you did for the slave cylinder including refilling the reservoir as necessary. Take the car to a quailified automotive air conditioning repair centre and have the system checked for faults. Then find where the 2 pipes pass through the fire wall and feel them. Tags: , , Post navigation. I found out the clutch fan was no good, replaced it and the air is cold again. They are manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. There is a heat sink radiating plate mounted on the amplifier assembly and it is placed in the airflow of the blower motor to provide cooling to the transistors to prevent electrical heat failure.
