Hey peeps

The climate control fan has decided to stop working, cool air will come out of the vents in the car but there is nothing pushing it out...

Where is the fan located, is there an easy fix and what can i do about this?

I guess if its not a DIY job ill send it to Nissan.

Car is an R33 (96) btw

Thanks all

Regards

Jazza

So the fan doesn't work on heat either, right? If it's a dead fan, it means pulling most of the dash apart, and replacing the heaterbox.

If you're lucky, it's just a blown fuse. By your right knee, there is a panel that pops off, and some fuses are there. From memory, one of them is called "blower motor". Check that fuse and let us know! =-]

Sounds like it! I was confused as to why the question was directed at an R33, yet the avatar is an R32.

Oh, btw... might be easier to test ALL the fuses. Might as well since you're there. The one fuse mounted vertically on the left-side is a spare, so it won't do anything.

Sounds like you got a nice collection going jazza hehe

Do you have a favourite? From memory I think you said your R32 had a RB25DET in it??

Here's the interior fusebox. Sorry about the quality, it was a photo taken of my user hand book lol. I think the other 2 fuseboxs have english layouts printed on them?

Hey dude, cheers for the diagram

The R32 has an rb20 in it, personally i much prefer the 32. I was looking for a 32 wit rb25 in it but couldnt find it and found one with an rb20 in it that was in great nick!

The 33 is more of a cruisey sort of car, the rb25 makes up for the weight in a straight line (although the 32 with same mods tends to go slightly harder as you can wind up the boost!) but its around the corners the 32 stands ahead. If your looking for a street racer id go a 32, if your looking to cruise around id go a 33. Both have very nice interiors however the 33 is abit more roomy and of course has the advantage of being a newer car!

Damn and Nissan said because they didnt bring them in they dont know too much about them but they'd have a look... they charge through the roof aswell and if they dont know what they are looking for maybe ill go with someone else lol

Maybe ill take it to an air-con place, thanks for ne help :O

There is a DIY thing on here but damn its way too complicated lol

I was just about to say "Nissan Australia mechanics don't know Skylines because there were only 100 32's locally delivered to Australia"...

I recken it might be worth contacting a reputable car stereo place, and ask if they've ever removed the dash before. Then work on the heaterbox fan yourself.

Actually... with some spare time and patience, you can pull it apart yourself if you just go slow and logically. Search for 32 stereo install guides here, because half of them show you how to remove most of the front facia.

Remember this is for an R33 not R32 aswell peeps hehe :)

Im not real keen on doing it myself to be honest mate, dont have the time or patience! I will ring around a few air-con places if nobody has any better recommendations in Perth (preferably SOR).

Thanks for the help Randy!

Hey no worries!

I'm paranoid about taking my car to anyone who is just going to guess like you and me how to remove the dash. (I think you and I would be more careful than some overworked A/C tech)

So personally, i'd still have someone who has pulled an R33 dash apart before do the stripping, then take the faulty unit out and put 12v onto the fan. If it doesn't spin, it's definately dead.

Actually, you know what... whether you take the fan part out yourself or not, I recken this is an auto-electrician's job more than an A/C guy. The piping and gas is all fine, you have an electrical problem. A sparky can check fuses and test the fan, possibly without removing it at all.

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
