I need a custom made air con line for my R33 GTR. The pipe has been discontinued by Nissan and my old one had a kink in it. Trying to find a company who can make them but the local companies that I have contacted have not gotten back to me.

Any recommendations on who I can take it to please? Ideally close to Solihull/Birmingham.

The original line looks like this https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/9244024u60 - Doesn't seem to challenging to make, and I'm happy to use a rubber hose instead of a metal one. I just want working AC!

Some good resources for DIY'ing them here:- https://www.spyderchat.com/threads/make-your-own-a...

One 'Good idea' that I've heard at some local car meets is, if you can get an approximate measure of the current line and source a similar part from another car with a similar length / same connectors, you can carefully do some pipe bending to modify it to fit..

Variable risk levels to that though if you end up kinking the replacement to-be!

If it's a plain pipe with standard end fittings I'd expect any competent mechanic to be able to do swage the end fittings and form the pipe to shape. If you want to DIY, you could even consider cutting the kink out and using a coupler to join the two parts.
