As many of us have found, it’s nigh on impossible to find a decent, working Z32 aircon compressor these days, and reconditioning is one of the few available options. However, a guy from LOJ Conversions in the US has been using 350Z compressors (with a small modification) to replace the Z32 unit. See 17:30 in the following YouTube vid: https://youtu.be/09Fd7OmRPs4?is=Kkr0357GfyvXsu4H Certainly food for thought as they’re not making any more of ‘em! Cheers Steve 😊

Welcome and sorry to hear about the damage. Definitely look for a donor door from a scrapper - they’re out there! CheerZ, Steve 🙂

Sorry Richard, I’m going to have to give this one a miss. Apparently my 16 year old wants to do an escape room with her friends (kids today eh?🙄😁). Ironically, a trip to Beaulieu with the family would have been less expensive 🤣 Have a brilliant day! 😎

That’s great news Rob. Will be brilliant to get her running better than ever and eliminate the smoking issue. I’m liking the retro head unit as well 😎

Sorry to hear the potentially bad news Rob. Worst case I’d opt for the rebuild if budget permits. Be a real shame to see her go but I fully appreciate the practicalities. Good luck and I’m hoping for a less drastic outcome. CheerZ Steve 🙂

Came across this Tasty Classics vid on YouTube yesterday rebuilding and restoring an abandoned Zed. Really interesting back story and I’m sure I’ve seen the reg YAZ 9994 on here before . Was it on the Z Centre site as well? Enjoy… CheerZ Steve 😁

Absolutely agree 👍

Welcome back bud. Good luck in your search for a new Zed! CheerZ Steve 🙂

I was just completing my booking but realised that it’s one of my daughter’s 16th birthday! I’ll check what she’s up to and see if I can get a pass! She may come with me, but doubtful. Will update as soon as I know. Steve 😁

Merry Christmas all! Here’s to a great 2026!🙂

Looks great Rob! Where did you get the bodywork done? CheerZ Steve 🙂

Welcome back Lee. Great to see you're still about and are reawakening your Zed interest! Hope you manage to track down your old car 🙂

Thanks everyone and apologies for the slow reply! Car is currently with Jimmer and I will be collecting her tomorrow. Watch this space! CheerZ Steve 🙂

Thanks Andrew - YGPM

Hi everyone My newly revived zed is currently in Jimmer's capable hands for a 120k service. Unfortunately he's discovered that the aircon compressor had seized and needs to be replaced. He's advised that I have an early style pump with both pipes on the side of the housing (not on the rear like the 93 onwards models). Does anyone have a working compressor, perhaps from from a breaker, that they're willing to part with? I'll need to get it fully reconditioned. Also, can anyone confirm the right part number so that I can be confident I'm sourcing the correct item? CheerZ Steve
