K, so I'm getting ready to start clamp all the exhaust pieces down and I'm about to mount the up pipe. Check the directions and see where the upipe bolts on the ac compressor. So I get under the car and look for the bolt to find this....

So I check the directions again and where that lil nipple is. Thats where the bolt is supposed to be. WTF?? It doesn't bother all that much because its so tight down there that the up pipes isn't going to move but I thought that was just a lil wierd.


You can tell in this image that the bolt hole on the top left is the one I'm missing.

 

What production date is your car? Nissan lists 3 different compressors; 06/02-10/02, 10/02-11/06, and 11/06+.

If you have an early build MY03, very likely the compressor was redesigned and another mounting location added (which most places don't take into account: mid-production changes on parts, especially the very early models).

 

My build date is 06/02. Guess that would explain it. Thanks.

 

The bolt wasn't there for me either. Its no big, there are two points where that pipe bolts to the compressor, and just one bolt will hold it.
