Has anybody had this fall off what did you do to fix this problem? Mine is missing, I'm going to buy a re-built compressor and remove the clutch disc and bolt it onto my compressor. My compressor is not engaging when I press the ac button, everything else works, the fans turn on. I went to Infiniti and they thought it was low on pressure for freon. We removed 1.2 pounds. and than put back in 1.2 pounds. So there is no leak. Just wondering if I can just bolt on the clutch disc from a new compressor and it'll fix everything.


Or should I remove the pulley as well, only reason, is I don't want to remove the compressor if its just the clutch disc missing.

 

YES!!! That exact thing happened to me!!!

I just happened to have an old compressor from a '95 240sx laying in my shop. I pulled the front plate off of it. I ended up having to grind down the throat a little bit (the part that goes around the compressor shaft, that has the teeth on the inside of it) to get the clutch disc spacing right. But then I just loctited the center bolt when I put it back on the G35. It's been working great for 5K+ miles since then.

I had actually bought a new compressor and condensor, in anticipation of having to change the whole compressor, but I haven't had to use them.

So, just go to the junkyard and pull a plate off some other Nissan with a similar-looking compressor! In my case, it was a Zero-Dollar fix.

 

sweet, that is good to know!!! Cause I definitely don't want to go down that route of replacing the compressor.

 

wow this happened to me today lol i saw it spinning next to me while i was driving i didnt know what it was . then i stoped got out to look for it it was gone never found it ! grrr

 

When mine came off, it took all the teeth off the inside of the plate, so it wouldn't engage the compressor shaft anyway. The teeth on the compressor shaft were still there, though, so the replacement front plate engages just fine.
