Lol of course they are, as if it could be easy for once. I have a recommendation of a good air con guy in Kent will ask.

BAZZ Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 On 13/08/2020 at 20:54, Robert W said: Visited the company today, dropped off the condenser and had a chat about cost, looks like cost will be £250 + VAT (£300.00) This is £25 cheaper (+ import duty) than the one from America on Ebay once postage is added but also less chance of damage in transit, I mentioned depending on interest there could be an order for a small quantity but this did not seem to make much difference to the cost as it wasn't going to be a large order. I witnessed a condenser being pressure tested that they had manufactured and it looked good so I have asked them to produce one unit (as a multiple buy didn't make any difference to the cost) once this has been manufactured i will post photos of the unit for all to see and report back on the fit and performance of the unit once installed. I was told it could be up to 2 weeks before the unit is ready as they are very busy. If it's OK then there will be a second choice for people other than the unit from America and if it isn't OK i can join in for a group buy from America to lower the postage. Sounds good Robert. I would happily take one if all is well. Thanks for doing all the legwork on this and hopefully it helps members in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert W Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Hi All, The aircon condenser was made by BHM COMPAK in Kenilworth, cost £250 + VAT. The person to speak with if you want one is Paul and his number is 01926 511304. I have left a twin turbo condenser with Paul to be used as the pattern for any he manufactures. If you require a condenser for other models i'm sure he would be able to make them but he would need the old unit to copy. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasTWM Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Hi this thread is super helpful. Thank you. My Z32 is a 1991 JDM import. Will that make any difference or is the condenser same as the uk spec car? Thank you, Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewG Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 The condenser fitment is the same for JDM (TT models) and UK spec cars. NA models have a different fitment.

phutumsch Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 There is one on ebay from the USA which I purchased and Jim fit, a little over 300GBP, no issues with it and he was happy with the quality. I believe there's that and this one in this thread, there is no other option out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones28 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) I still have mine never got round to fitting it because of covid. Now will have to wait till I get my bodywork sorted and rear subframe refresh.
