spinthepilot Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Need a new/replacement one as mine has sprung a leak and I am told they can not be welded or otherwise sealed again. Tried and tried sending requests to various online parts companies in the UK but all I get back is "out of stock - leave your email and we will advise when back in" but of course they never are. My lovely Supra is mint apart from the AC now and its driving me nuts! Please does anyone have any leads or ideas? THANKS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 You are very unlikely to find one in the trade these days but there are a few members holding a spare so hopefully you'll find someone willing to part with their precious part. It probably comes down to what you are prepared to pay. Denso were knocking them out for £50 a unit a few years back and Toyota were reselling them for £650. if no one comes forward you could always float out an offer that people just couldn't refuse then I'm sure one could be prised out of someone's hands somewhere. Try FB with a wanted ad as well, more people buy/sell there these days than on the forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Could be worth a try? I got to the checkout and over $200 shipping and then duty etc on top but might be an option https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~condenser~assy~cooler~88460-14310.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinthepilot Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 I'll send them a message as my vehicle is a 2001. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Given the number of people who seem to be interested in this? Surely worth asking a company to produce one and do a group buy to make it worth their while? My intention when the time comes, if there are no units out there, was to enquire about the possibility of having it re-cored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinthepilot Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 Totally agreed! Unfortunately i wouldn't know here to start, maybe someone out there knows how to do this and with whom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I talked to a Midlands outfit a few years back that was recommended to me by a well known car restorer to ask about this and the radiator fresh core and got told no can do. Wrong metallurgy apparently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinthepilot Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 The Guy on Facebook - Extreme Performance - just messaged me this:- "I’ve not got any spares currently at the moment…. Worldwide shortage currently… If it continues I’m gonna be making them myself to be honest" I told him there would be several customers from our forum immediately!

You'd think there would be (the condenser core itself may be) but iirc no part numbers from Supra condensers match up with any other model because of the different line routing (happy to be corrected though!)

Delboy52 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I cross referenced the part number 88460-14310 for the condenser on ToyoDIY and it's a Supra specific part. Any year or country though. The Soarer condenser is 88460-24080 and is also used on SC300/400. LS400 94-00 is 88460-50120. I looked as all these cars are meant to be on the same chassis. I recently restored the AC in my Supra and the cooler lines want to sit in one place only and connect to an exactly placed port. Only way to know is to lay your hands on one of those other rads and see if the Supra and lines would accept it? I had to buy my Supra cooler lines from America, at least half of it is compatible with a UK/Jap spec Supra until the left hand drive stuff changes it. I also bought my condenser from America a few years back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burna Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) I had a brand new AC condenser 88460-14310 delivered this week, so still available. Only cost me £430 in total Edited June 17, 2022 by Burna (see edit history) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they suit pre-facelift only? I know Koyo are now making AC condensers, but don’t know if it’s for facelift too. Lee at SRD will be able to confirm, as I know he’s got some on the way to him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
