Default Just joined the 350z ranks! No a/c though! please help!

hello everyone! I just joined the 350z ranks and glad to be here! (please forgive if not posted in right area)

2004 350z roadster touring

I get NO cold air at all. blower works fine etc. I dont hear anything kick in etc when I press the a/c button but the belt is always spinning..whether i click a/c or not....Am I looking at the righ thing or am I way off. This car also has an aftermarket air filter on it (scepter, is that good or garbage?) and when I lifted it I saw that it has damaged a cable housing. there was still one wire connected but didnt know if there was supposed to be more...

THANKS SO MUCH!

here is a pic of wire

ok I got a recharge it with gauge but when I hooked up the gauge it gave me a reading of approx. 100psi. I realize its very high because that is static pressure, (compressor not running) The system would not even accept any recharge. where do i go from here? thanks! Nick

Prepare for compressor and condenser replacement.
