Alternate a/c compressor solutions for sr20 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

In the process of revamping my ac system. Currently have brand new lines, drier and expansion valve from Nissan, can’t buy a new condenser anymore. Debating whether to flush my current condenser or just buy a new generic condenser and have lines made/adjusted. Only issue I’m running into is what a/c compressor to go with. If it matters, I have a 180sx with the same redtop sr, ac went out a couple years ago. Kept popping the ac fuse by the driver side kick panel. Never figured out the issue.

Has anyone tried other Nissan a/c compressors?

Went to autozone last week and a 2000 maxima compressor lines up with the holes on the redtop bracket but the pulley alignment looked off a little. It’s also a 6 groove pulley vs the stock 4 groove. I don’t really want to buy a reman compressor if possible.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
