The Nissan 240SX was first introduced to the American market in 1989 and was sold until 1998. It replaced the 200SX. Sold in both coupe and fastback versions, the sporty design was very popular among Nissan enthusiasts.

The 240SX offered a number of creature comforts, including a satisfactory climate control system. As these cars age, the air conditioning components tend to wear out.

The Nissan 240SX A/C condenser is one such part. The air conditioning systems of these cars were initially built to use R12 cooling gas. Environmental regulations caused the changeover to R134a gas. When the A/C systems are converted to run on the new coolant, several seals and gaskets must be changed, as well as the condenser. The Nissan 240SX A/C condenser, like all A/C condensers, is essentially a modified radiator. The gas is compressed to a high pressure and temperature in the compressor. It flows to the condenser, where air flows over it and it cooled. As the air cools, it loses its water content, which condenses on the radiator and is expelled from the vehicle. The gas is then returned to the compressor to start the cycle again. Air conditioning service should generally only be performed by experienced technicians with the specialized equipment necessary to draw the vacuum and deal with the environmentally damaging gases. Many private mechanics lack the equipment, so you will need to seek out a shop that does air conditioning work. You can generally bring your own parts, which saves the mechanic the time of ordering then, although they may be reluctant to lose the parts markup.Order your replacement Nissan 240SX A/C compressor today from our convenient 24/7 ordering system, and stay cool!
