Hey,

Have a little issue with my AC in my r32 gtst and hope someone has an answer.

When i got my ac compressor changed+regassed, the mechanic said that my blend door servo motor is dead. Therefore i cannot control the temps of the ac. He set it manually to cold so I just get cold air coming out regardless of Temp on climate control.

I went into AC diagnostic mode, and went through all the steps and no error came up for a dead blend door motor. ( I think the number is 26 ).

So what exactly is my problem? If it was a dead blend door motor it should have registered on the diag test mode on the climate control...

Cheers

Patrick

Was good during hot says as its stuck on cold but now I cant set it to Hot on the cold days! :)

So the problem is you can't get it to turn off.....

Ask the guy who put the new compressor in to show you where you can turn the air-con off from"manually",,,seeing he

set it on cold all the time...you can set it back during summer.

If he says you can't..he was lieing to you from the start and does not know anything about climate control.

Might then have to try some one who can fix your problem from the start.......how do you know

he correctly diagnosed the problem at the start and that he changed your compressor for no reason at all.

You might have a blown main fuse or something like that...lol

He said that he set the hot/cold flap to Cold setting manually. The climate control controls a motor (blend door servo motor) which moves the flap from cold to hot. He said that the motor is dead and that i should find a 2nd hand one to replace it with, in order to have control of temperatures again.

The funny part is that the AC Diag should come up with error 26-blend door motor, but it doesnt...

I have the same issue with my r32. No hot air comes from the vents what so ever (great in summer, but its starting to get annoying). Running the A/c climate control diag says that everything is working.Anyone know what might be causing this. Is there anything i can do to diagnose whats going on.

Common problem...and AC Diagnostic mode would not necessarily give an error for it...mine didn't because it was a failure in a mechanical component...just go to a wrecker and change it...in the time it took you to write this thread and wait for replies you could have gotten your aircon working...

you must have read over the part where i said i wasn't keen on a crappy 2nd hand replacement. my dash is apart already, i know what's involved in tearing the thing apart and i DO NOT want to be doing it again a year later when the 'wreckers part' fails.

my air con has been playing up for ages. all i get is hot air

the compressor and gas has been chcked and they're fine.

how do i perform an air con diagnosis?

The only thing i can see wrong is the display is out of whack when i turn it on during a hot day. but the functions/fan settings still work when i press any of the buttons.

the easiest way 2 check the a/c system is if u hear the ac compressor in then it has gas in as the compressor wont cut in without pressure in the lines. if it wont vary between hot and cold. stick ur head under the dash and get a friend 2 vary the temp between hot and cold and u should c sum levers move on the side of the heater box. if u cant c anymove then there is a problem in that part. hope that helps

Most likely not the motor itself. Its actually mechanical as described above and its very common. This is the same part that makes that clicking sound on startup on other skylines. Gearteeth are just probably completely broken off rather than just a few.

Have fun pulling out the dash

If it has gas in it will get cold (actually the vaccum makes it cold nehow). To check compressor&compressor clutch operation start car, turn on ac and see if RPM increases

      Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.

      Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.

      Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
