September 22, 201212 yr comment_402305 That looks really pretty, but... in "as it came from the factory(otherwise known as "stock") form" NOTHING under the hood was polished or chrome plated ...so if your friend paid $550 to get the look of a stock engine compartment, he must have paid for "stockish"It does look great though!

September 22, 201212 yr comment_402306 The compressor used on that AC system wasn't available in 1973 plus it has a condensor mounted electric fan; not stock. Looks great, however.

September 23, 201212 yr comment_402341 He does still have the stock fan, (visible at 0:30 in the video) someone just added a pusher fan for extra cooling.(Give him a break, it gets hot in Kuwait.)

September 23, 201212 yr comment_402356 That is excellent value for $550. Looks great, clean and very original. Well done, wish there was somewhere in Australia that would do this for so cheap!

October 2, 201212 yr comment_403097 we recieved the 1973 ( AC ) do u mean a different shape of comp. was thier ?That appears to be a 'mist jet' type compressor. Nissan didn't utilize that type until 1979. A 1973 would have had a 'swash plate' type compressor which would be visually distingushable by the side cover which the one in your video does not have.
