What the problem is there is a door in ur air conditioning under the dash.

When you press cold the door opens and cold air from ur airconditioning system comes out. When you press hot it closes the door on the cold and lets hot air come through.

That little arm thst moves the door isnt moving, the cold door is closed hense hot air

on my r32 i had the same problem but if i held down the cold arrow it would go into "FC" mode this was the only thing that made the cold air door open

i dunno if its the same on r33's

As suggested above, make sure the compressor is clicking on and engaging when you start the aircon. If it's not doing that, you have either an electrical problem, or the aircon needs to be regassed. With no pressure in the system, the aircon won't engage.

Another problem which can occur is when the dash has been removed at some stage, there is a little plug which goes into the back of the dash airtemp sensor. It can be easily knocked out, and the climate control won't work, thus blowing hot air all the time....although if you set the aircon to coldest setting you should get cold air.

R33, the sensor is in the dash to the left of the steering wheel, there is a little grill you can see in the dash. On the R32, its located in the centre console area I think to the left of the gear lever.

So check to see if you get cold air when on coldest setting, if you don't and you can't hear the aircon compressor activating, you most likely need a regas. This will mean the system is leaking somewhere, hopefully not in the evaporator which is behind the dash :cheers:

As suggested above, it could also be the actuator which opens and closes the door allowing hot or cold air to flow. IMHO, that would be the last thing to check.

When all else fails, aircon specialists should find the problem in no time.

I have a similar problem- my compressor clicks on seemingly (rev's jump) though I only ever get ambient temp air coming out, even at FC. I keep blowing the same A/C fuse though, I've done it over and over, it only blows when I turn on the A/C - not during normal fan/heat operation. The fuse is #8 in the diagram below (R32 under-dash panel). The other A/C fuse (#17) never blows.

I figure I have a short somewhere, but where should I start looking? Any ideas?

#8 fuse is the fuel pump. I think you mean #10, in which case your windings are probably shot; there are some tests in the workshop manual you can run. If it is your windings, your looking at ~$120 and a day or two of work. See the tutorial I posted about removing and repairing it.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
