I've been without a/c now for a month, even after replacing the condenser. The problem is coming because the drier part I keep ordering keeps coming in wrong. I'm posting pictures to show which was one already on the car (mine must be the 1995 or 1996 design).

4 seasons, through Autozone and Advance Auto keeps showing pictures of a filter drier that looks like mine, but for the third times, it's the wrong one. I can't even seem to find this particular part anywhere online or in store and all seems to be special order.

Does anyone know what's going on here? There's no differences in my a/c lines. The condensor fit the lines just fine. This same drier has been working no problem for years but now I can't seem to find a replacement. The one with the sensor is the original part (atleast I think)
I keep being given the one on the right (that slight difference would not fit my lines. And the one at the bottom (that pattern doesn't fit). Also, I went to parts store and my line piece does not fit into ANY of those except for the one I took off.

I'm really about to go to the dealer to identify this drier, and probably pay $140 for the new one

The center part is just a sight glass.


Here are some more on ebay.

Thanks, but that's still not the one. I ordered today from another auto zone and putting all hope into that they've got the right one. This site here seems to show the right applications:.

They are the correct part. The two lines are attached 180 degrees apart. The pressure switch goes in either of the location where the bolt hole are. The remaining bolt stays put. There are o-rings in each bolt. Here is another pic showing the plastic covers over the location where the lines go both attached and off

Lol no, no, no. I finally got it all figured out! After having autozone, which was referred to me by a parts specialist at Nissan who physically looked at the part, order me the wrong part which I waited ****ing all weekend to get...was STILL the wrong one. The one pictured above does not fit my lines or pattern. I tried it, it didn't work.

I don't know how or why...but the drier for the Infiniti q45 (same as pictured in my signature) has been the drier that's been there since I had the car. Maybe the Japanese made a mistake when they put my lines in. But the ToughOne aftermarket a/c drier for Infiniti is nearly identical in size and hole pattern as what came on my car. Funnily enough, the condenser I ordered fit my lines, and I've never had this issue with other engine parts.

After searching the types of driers other similar Nissans have (aka frontier and q45 Infiniti) I finally got the right part and it's been sitting on the shelves all this time. It's a drier that pulls up to fit Infiniti q45 and Frontier and I think 200XS:
