I tried searching but to no avail, but the problem I have is similar to this:

EXCEPT

Mine constantly blows cold air instead of hot. Now I dont know if its just ambient air being sucked in and being blown through or that its conditioned air (because its been so cold lately) but it doesnt matter what temp i set it to, even FH, it still blows cold air. Im thinking its more likely to be conditioned air, since the AC worked perfectly over summer.

I was thinking its a sensor problem, but the AMB button still brings up the relative ambient temperature. Any ideas? Its not a fluid problem either, theres plenty of coolant in the radiator.

Also, my rear dimister (oh the irony) seems to never work also, are there any known or common causes for that? Any advice you can give to get it working again?

Thanks guys.

have a look at the little wires running on the window for the rear demister. Check for any breakages. If its not that then its probably just a connection problem elsewhere so find the wire coming from near your parcel shelf, splice it and multimeter it.

When you switch from hot to air or cold to hot, yours doesnt make any noise? Mine makes a whining noise and takes a bit of time so im assuming the motor which opens or closes, on mine, is on the way out, maybe yours is gone. You might wana try on a/c mode on economic mode, on no mode (no a/c or econ lights showed), on FH and FC, see if any of those make a difference.

I did some tests over the weekend like you said, and it keeps blowing air at the same basic temperature (as far as I can tell). Fan speed and direction all works fine (feet, face and demister) and all that, but theres no buzzing noise coming from inside like you mentioned.

Now this morning for some strange reason the bastard decided to blow warm toasty air on the way to work - which is fine in this weather, but it still wouldnt adjust the actual temp of the air coming out when i changed the temp put it on FC or FH.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.

      I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
