Does anyone have a picture of a z24 or z24i engine that shows how the high pressure A/C hose is routed from the compressor up to the condensor? I am still fighting the problem with a re-made hose not holdong a charge, and was determined to find a new factory hose for my truck. I bought a new high side nissan hose that looks like I can make it fit, but the service advisor says it won't because one fitting is reverse direction what the original hose fitting was on my truck. Is it possible to twist the hose in such a way(no kinks) that both fittings mate the holes right, but the hose is in a shape that would be counter-productive to the A/C system? I can't see why the service tech says a new nissan hose won't work, unless the routing of the hose matters (maybe the high side hose must be above the condensor at all points to work right, I don't know). I thought if I could see a picture of a high pressure hose of a working a/c on a z24 engine, it would give me a clue of whether this hose will work, and whether I should find a new A/C tech to finish the job.....

 

SPEEDO

I can copy a picture for you but I dont have a way to post it, do you have a fax? or maybe your local dealer will make a copy for you out of the service manual or print one off of their computer (parts dept) let me know if I can help!

Thanks SPEEDO so much! I just received the fax. The picture does show the hose routed completely opposite how I would have to route the new hose. I would have to route it in a "u' shape and curve it up behind the compressor to reach the connection port correctly. Maybe this is why they are saying the new hose won't work. I think I will return the new hose I have....back to the "drawing boards"....

Glad I could help!
