Today's computer controlled cars,like our Maximas, have function in the ECU that, when you floor it, the AC is off, even if its on. That's cause the ECU knows you want every damn ounce of power out of your engine, so it temporarily dis-ables the clutch for the AC. So, if your were flooring it, your AC wasn't on.

I noticed this in my 95, I was flooring it one day to get on the freeway and at about 5K the A/C started blowing hot air. . . I wasn't sure if this was normal, but that was my reasoning.

under WOT, the max's ecu cuts off the ac, you have to keep your foot in it for a while to notice a temp change,
