Hey everyone, a few months ago I purchased a 1996 1fz-fe powered vxr imported from Saudi Arabia. The vehicle has had no A/C since purchase which I quickly diagnosed as a melted clutch. Having never done A/C work, especially on something a lot prettier than my 94, I sent it up to the guys at State Automotive. Anyway, after about a week, I give them a phone call to check on the progress and they tell me the compressor is damaged and I give the green light for a new compressor. Then about another week goes by and I get a call telling me about the trouble they have had finding a compressor for this thing. He'd been talking with Denso, Toyota, and Cruiser outfitters. They say the mounts on the 1fz are different than the compressors they normally put on the 80s. Guy tells me that he's done the same thing on a South American import but he said he eventually found one. Anyway, today I got a phone call saying that after talking with the guys at @cruiseroutfit they determined that because they say it's a Saudi Arabian-built 80 it just uses some strange parts. He gives me a part number (88320-60460) that he says is going to work but he says the only place he found that carries it is a month or so out and that If I want I can come pick up the 80 without A/C to have in the meantime. I didn't find any mention of this specific part number in my search on mud and before I shell out the cash to get it here I Just wanted to get some other opinions.
