heya guys i have been tryin to work out where the mixer door control is on my S2 as the heater is either in full hot or full cold mode, the mixer door is moving but it is not blending the air it is just full travel either way.

would there have been any reason for this to be done for compliance? or maybe just a fuse or somethin. hoping it is something simple and as i am still waiting for my manual to arrive from funky it is not likely that i wanna go pullin the dash out anytime soon.

any assistance from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Dont know if its pertinent.

Below the radiator on engine side there is a electrical thingo. It is to do with the ambient temp.

I think Sydneykid knows more about this. Give him a PM.

already sussed that the sensor is working on the outside temp easiest way to test that is to depress the temp knob and it will show the outside temp, then if you unplug it it will automatically show 32degrees.

have tested that and seems to be all good

Didn't know you could depress the temp knob. The day has not been wasted. Cheers

hmm i thought mine may be doing this, and now someone else has the drama im sure it actually is, and its annoying. cos people go "wow, digital climate control!" but "yeah no not really it just looks like it. do you want hot or cold?"

My R33 had a similar problem, but i never found it out. could be a faulty sensor inside the car to detect the temp, and as such reverts to default 18 is cold, 32 is hot? i thought this might be the case as my temp sensor for inside the car was broken whens someone ripped the dash apart to steal my stereo.

i am hopefully getting one of the guys i work with to have a look at the climate control in a week or so (he used to work as an aircon mechanic/fitter) when we both have days off and he can get in to the dash and have a look. he has told me that silvias have a similar problem sometimes and its usually after a turbo timer has been fited and the installer has robbed a wire from somewhere in there, and it shuts the climate control down.

will keep you all posted as soon as i find any thing out about it cos it is annoying little things like this that would be nice to just be put right

cheers oxford

heya all

finally worked out what the problem was with the climate control in the stag.

it was a pin pushed back into the plug that goes directly onto the rear of the head unit itself.

took 4hrs of dickin around to trace it back but we finally found it!!!!!!!! yay so now i don hafta go thru the cycle of adjusting the temp all the time by using the old fashioned regulator(window)

*** huge sigh of relief ***

Finally fixed mine too, I checked the plugs but it wasn't that so since I had already started I continued to take the dash apart. All that was wrong was the sensor in the dash to the left of the steering wheel wasn't plugged in, duh. I then replaced all the globes so they all work now too. Having climate control again and being able to read it at night too is so good.

I took the climate control out by following alex cim's instructions, the bulbs are attached to the plastic screws with the philips head tops near the front of the climate control unit. I bought the bulbs from Dick Smith:

The top globes (light up the lcd) are cat. P 8140 12v 50mA 5mm 'grain of wheat' bulbs

The bottom globes (light up the buttons and temp control dial) are the same but shorter in overall length, DS didn't have them so I bought P 8130 12v 3mm pilot lights attached to wires, I had to strip the wires to use them, took forever and was quite tedious, but worked. These bulbs are smaller in diameter than the originals.

All of the globes have little blue covers over them which can be very carefully removed and put on the new bulbs, even on the smaller bulbs I used I could still slip them over.

The bulbs you buy are bare bulbs with wires attached to them, these wires wrap aroung the plastic screw type things which screw into the climate control unit. When you start taking it apart you work it out. I went from no lights at all to all of them working, it's like a christmas tree inside my car now.

It's good to see everyone on this thread has fixed their problems and have cheered themselves up.

But it seems the temp knob is still feeling a bit depressed. ;)

Com'on guys - make your knobs' day. Pucker up little fella :)

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      By marni · Posted

      Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
