August 4, 201014 yr comment_327212 Yep, I can't find them. The Nissan part # is 27625-U5 225. No luck. If anyone has a CURRENT source for these, please let me know. And it's hot in Houston right now...Oliver at Z Specialties should have them. Here is the product description from their website:The expansion valves used in these cars are no longer available. We have finally found a replacement expansion valve and evaporator assymbly that will fit in these cars from 74-78. You MUST change this over as a complete assymbly, this valve WILL NOT fit your original evaporator. These are a special order only item. Please allow an extra week for shipping. http://www.datsunstore.com/product_info.php/products_id/1390Yes, it's very hot here in Houston!!

Here is the product description from their website:http://www.datsunstore.com/product_info.php/products_id/1390Yes, it's very hot here in Houston!!Thanks. I had spoken too soon. The a/c will cool for 10 min, then stop cooling. I can switch to vent for 3+ min, then back to a/c and it will begin to cool again. Better than cooking, but now I am the expansion valve!!!I'll contact Oliver.

April 19, 201114 yr Author comment_353300 Well, I finally did something about this. Kin Lee @ Reliable Auto who specializes in Zs here in Houston eliminated my expansion valve and redid the a/c with an engine bay dryer and filter. Since we had to remove the dash I also changed all dash lights, reinstalled a MSA rebuilt clock, installed new/old center vents, a rebuilt heater core & control valve, new foam on the vent doors, lubed all cables, installed the upgraded blower motor, and put on a full dash cap. It all went back together nice and tight, and just in time...it's supposed to be 90 tomorrow here in Houston!
