I have a 1991 300ZX TT model and need to replace the air con compressor. Does anyone know of any differences between the two compressors or are thet both the same version. Also does anyone know or a company that will do compressor rebuilds in Brisbane
Replied in your wtb thread. Easiest way is to ring your local nissan spare parts, give them your VIN number, get the part number and compare.
Replied in your August 25th thread. https://aus300zx.com/index.php?threads/1991-300zx-twin-turbo-a-c-compressor.338927/ Did you find any details about your AC compressor on its ID plate?
Mike, you might want to try Highgate Air as they claim to have reconditioned a/c compressors. I believe the NA and TT both used the same compressor. I'd be interested in how you go as I need a replacement one myself. https://www.highgateair.com.au/images/stories/products-pdf/Compressors-OEM.pdf P: sales@highgateair.com.au SA: 10 Selgar Avenue, Tonsley, SA 5042 WA: 19 Wicks Street, Bayswater, WA 6053
FOR Chewy see below response Hello Mike, Thank you for your website enquiry. We appreciate the time you have taken to reach out to us. We are wholesalers to the licensed automotive A/C repairers in Australia, so don’t supply to the public. Unfortunately we don’t rebuild A/C compressors, and don’t have access to one of this age.

bugger. Maybe this re-manufactured one is an option https://thecompressorwarehouse.com/items/12451-401-compressor-remanufactured/
Hi Chewy The mountings are different between the left hand drive and the right hand drive versions The Australian part number is 92600-40P01 The US part number is 92600-30P01 Will keep trying to find someone to do a rebuild
Hi Chewy This is the RHD version, the mounts are on the left hand side The 27630 number is I believe a Denso number as they supplied the units to Nissan . I enquired with Denso in Japan and they were want about AUD $1900 plus ex Japan Reese Kramm is a parts interepter from Jarrett Nissan in SA Phone 08 83392700 . He is really helpful in sourving Nissan 300 parts . But with compressors unable Cheers Mike
The best price for a new one that I've found is from Nengun AUD $ 1,547.08 https://www.nengun.com/oem/nissan/92600-40p01
I thought the difference was the hose locations? Given the both mount to the same side of the engine, why would the mounts be different?
They compressors are discontinued - if they (nengun) actually have one in stock that'd be something but if they're relying on drop shipping it from Nissan you're gonna be shit out of luck unfortunately
The difference appears to be the location of the ports on the compressor. The LHD one has them beside each other whereas the RHD one has them separated. RHD Version LHD Version
Interesting. Looking at the FSMs 1995 (downloaded) FSM: LHD is DKS-16H( Zexel make) Just hose routing differs for TT and NA 1990 (downloaded) FSM: RHD is MJS170 (Hitachi make) shows only one hose layout MJS170 is what I removed from my TT car.
Here's a better set of photos of the RHD A/C system http://www.z32photoguide.com/ac.html The MJS170 must be the core compressor part number as the same one is used on a 1985-88 Subaru XT and the hose pattern looks different. I think the full hitachi part number is MJS170-6FB. There's a manufacturer on Alibaba that claims to make them for $210 ($188 + $22 transaction fees) but the shipping is crazy a $550 - though the shipping cost stays the same for any number of units. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/FOR-Nissan-Fairlady-Z-Compressor-Clutch_60690319711.html Does anyone have access to the a/c and provide some measurements on it.- like spacing between holes, overall length etc - as I may see if a Sanden one is close enough to fit and do custom hoses.
