The Receiver Drier plays a key role in A/C system performance and longevity. The A/C dryer removes water and some dirt from the refrigerant and also stores a certain amount of refrigerant as it cycles through the system. The drier should always be replaced anytime the A/C system is opened.

Please Note: The early R12 (90-93) receiver/drier has been discontinued by Nissan, and the late style is now the only version available. The new style can still be used on a car which originally came with an early style, but the safety pressure switch uses a different connector, which we have made available as an option above. This can also be considered an upgrade, as the new-style pressure switch is a two-way safety switch (disabled the A/C system if the pressure is too high or too low), while the early style was one-way (only disabled if the pressure was too low).

Alternatively, you can swap your old pressure switch onto the new receiver/drier, but keep in mind the pressure switch uses an O-ring which Nissan does not sell separately.
