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 :)

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
