Need help with compressor that I'm about to buy
 

I found a compressor made by Four Seasons. I think this company largely remanufactures compressors. Their product page looks very good. Anyway, the compressors was listed for Maxima years 89 to 95(1995 V6-2988cc 3.0L F/I Vin VQ30DE). The part number is 57455. The compressors is listed at around $173. That's a good deal, I think. For someone who is dispalced due to hurricane Katrina, I'm trying to nip this A/C compressor problem in the bud before it gets worse and causes more expense.

So what do you need help with?
As the title to this thread says :wtf:

yea um... what he said^.

are you asking us if its a good deal? is the place where you got it from good? whats going on

Sorry. Yes. I'm basically asking if this is a good deal? I saw this deal on ebay and the compressor comes with a 2 year warranty.

Has anyone used or is anyone currently using a four seasons A/C compressor? I would have bought it ASAP if it was a Hitachi, but I've never heard of the Four Seasons brand. Is it legit. I just sprayed some lubricant on the pulley and bearings to quiet the noise a bit for the time being.

Four Seasons are one of the largest rebuilders of a/c compressors. From what I understand, the quality is not always the best. When I bought mine I ended up buying one by Frigette/Frostemp who are also apparently not great. I bought it anyway because it was all I could afford at the time. So far so good after 16 months.

I decided to deal with it and buy a new one from Pinnacle Nissan and Infinity for $333 shipped. I don't want to deal with this problem again anytime soon.

That one in the pic doesn't even look like the one for our cars. Ours have 4 long bolts that go through the compressor and connects to the block.

I looked it up and found out that it's actually for 3rd gen maximas.
