If you're converting from the old system to the new one, it's expensive to say the least. I got quoted ~700 to change the entire system. Don't just buy that cheap stuff that supposedly works with the old system cause it will work for a little while before damaging your system. A few people over on zcar have done the conversion, they will probably have more info.

I've heard it's just a matter of a couple of fittings, but that just doesn't sound right to me. It'll probably be a bit costy. I'm still running R12, but don't even have the belt on now. Just living with the windows down and going 90mph wherever, and I live in Arizona... ;^)

If I lived up in wheat country, I wouldn't even bother...
