I have a 1997 infiniti I30. The compressor it had went out. The bearing ate up the compressor shaft. I bought one on ebay. The guy said that it was for a 97 infiniti I30. I bought. When I get it I noticed That its the same but the ac holes on the one I bought on ebay has smaller hole. What can I do with the ac lines to get them to fit? I need help please!

Hi Grod416,

Thank you for the donation.

1. Replace the hoses with that correct type.
2. Machine/grind the hose fittings to a smaller outer diameter to fit.
3. Rebore the holes to get them to the correct size.
4. Use adapters to match the hole sizes.

Above are possible procedures and it would depend on what you wish to do.

Most cars manufacturers would have 2 different suppliers and this always complicates things when ordering parts.

Adapters are non supplier items and reman shops are the only place you would be able to get them as they are fabricated locally.

Our database only list one type of compressor, Calsonic V6 6cyl.

Are both the compressor that you have of the same brand?
