try this with the car at a stop turn on the a/c and put a box fan in frount of the car and see uif the a/c gets cold if it does then check the electric cooling fans they might not be running at the proper RPM we see the fans abbilty to move air drop as the fans get some age on them also if the air dams around the radiator and condensor are dammaged this can also cause poor a/c performance at low speeds, if wile sitting still all you have to do is raise the engine RPM to get the system working then add another 1/2 can of r134a by the way when you did all the work did you e-vack the system before you charged it? if not that is you problem you have mosture in the system and all you need to do is have the system e-vacked and recharged.

Hi,
Go to your nearest Nissan parts center/dealer in your country.
Bring the registration for the engine and model number. It will take 40 to 60 days when the parts will arrive. Pay some initial deposit for the parts needed.

Hope that helps you!

is it knocking?

If not, get a cheap oil pressure tester at Harbor Freight and see if the oil pump is making pressure. Should be around 35 psi.

figure out what model and year it is then search for a used wiper linkage or transmission for your car on eBay and at local junkyards, also now called recyclers. when you have located a serviceable used one, buy a new wiper motor at a car parts store, not a dealer. then buy a repair manual for a few bucks on eBay, find a free one to read at a library, or search for a video on youtube to find a video of someone replacing a wiper on a car like yours. most models and years are the same within a manufacturer so does not have to be your exact car. do not use a used wiper motor and give the linkage a good coat of chain grease before you install it in the car.

their is no adjustment as such but what i think you have done is to leave a couple of spacers out that go behind the pump fixings when you changed it or you bought the vehicle like it ,what i would do is to go to a scrapyard and see if you can find one then take the fittings from that one ,I do remember working on a nissan or datsun as i call them and on the back fittings is a round spacer that looks like a big fat washer and these go between the pump and the cylinder block which then brings it out into alignment .

Hi.

The R134a is colorless. In its dyed version it will be red. If the system has been flushed properly the dark gray color of the fluid coming out from the service port is probably due to the fact that the R134 is mixed with oil inside the AC system. By flushing the lines you get rid of the refrigerant inside the system but you do not flush the oil that is there to maintain and lubricate the parts of the system. Test the system and ensure that you do not use more R134a than specified. The oil getting mixed to refrigerant shouldn't be matter of concern. If the system is still not working, there may be an additional problem, or the flushing did not get rid completely of the original gas charge. If system was not flushed properly, by using a gauge you will notice pressure going up too soon before completing the recharge.

You could possibly have a vacuum leak, is the car idling higher than it used to?

Use gas only.

Click my screenname and go to my tips and tricks. I wrote up a procedure called "burping the cooling system" that will explain it.

If it is just drained and was working before you need only the gauge, freon and the oil matching the refrigerant. Check if if the unit is now 134a compatible (the compressor has it stamped or refer to the manual). Otherwise you would have to change the expansion valve, dryer, o-ring (if worn out) and cutout valve to be compatible with the more ozone safe refrigerant and in some areas it is easier to acquire.

Make sure you have a gauge handy. Refrigerant is charged at the valve at the high pressure side (the thicker pipes to the compressor). Make sure you have the AC and fan set to its highest setting before the actual recharging.
