A/C compressor, suspension questions - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I just bought a 95 240sx/se, which has always been my dream and somewhat fulfilled now.

But the one I just bought doesn't have working A/C.

The guy I bought it from said the A/C just needs to be hooked up...and also needs a new A/C compressor.

He said to get a maxima A/C compressor and hook it up, because the S13 a/c compressor is hard to find.

By the way the engine is a SR20 Blacktop 5speed, non vvt.

Also the suspension on the 240sx is stock. I want to put in a new suspension set up to put on the rays rims I have...

...but I have no clue what suspension to get. While I was driving the car back home, the suspension felt really soft? and the car was so bouncy.

I would like to put the rims on after I install the new suspension set up and lower the car alittle...

which suspension would you guys recommend?

The guy I bought the car from said get eibach sport, but i've read reviews from people and they say the suspension is very bouncy?

I'm sorry all these newb questions, but I'm really an idiot when it comes to these things.

I live in NoVa by the way...

I'd ignore what the previous owner told you.

You can get S13 SR AC compressors from the community, lots of people get SR front clips and don't run AC. Just look in the classifieds.

Just do some reading on suspension. Knowing your price range would also help.

i recommend megan street coils....they are affordable and perform good in my opinion...32 way adjustable and all that great stuff....super easy install....as for a/c...no idea if a maxima compressor will fit, but that is something you could probably google to find out...
