Hey guys, im having trouble with the climate controll on my r34, even when its turned off and the fan isnt on, there seems to be alot of heat coming through around my feet mainly. Is there a common fault like the heater tap staying open just slightly????

Also if its set to 18' and no AC on it seems to have ambient temp air coming through but if its set on 19 degrees and up it seems to be on full and it defaults to the maximum fan speed. no matter what the ambient temp is the fan speed allways goes to full.

its driving me completely insane, and in summer god knows how hott in the car it will be.

is there any air speeed sensors or temp sensors that are knowen to fall out or fail?????

did i mention its running lpg injection which is great but i dont beleive it is causing the problems because the water in and out for the gas converter is b4 the heater tap............ too my knoledge that is

secondly.

i have a switch to the right of the steering wheel, it has a pic of a big fan and a little fan and you can toggle between the 2. it looks to be an oem, but has no wires going in to the back of it.

it could be one of the motors that run of the climate control has craped itself and is stuck in the hot position, my 33 did the same thing and i had to get a new motor to close the hot water tap. Just a though. Try and turn the car on listern for a noise when you change from hot to cold and see if it makes a strange sound or not and see if the heater tap in the engine bay changes position. Best of luck and remember to put up your response when you get it fixed.

Not sure if this will work for you...I had similar issues with mine last year..One day while doing an oil change I noticed just behind the front bar, there was a plug that was unattached, I found where it was supposed to go and plugged it back on...eversince, my climate control has been working fine. Go have a look and see if you can find the plug in the attached pic...if its unplugged, plug it back in...

hey, i'll have a look at that sensor 1st thing in the morning, i was playing with the car tonight.

if i set the climate control to manual all fan speeds work and zones. if i set it for 18 degress ambient air blows out. if i set it for 18.5 upwards red hot air flows out. i tryed listening for the motor or taps. were are they exactly??? are the taps in behind the dash or the engine bay????

AFTER 6 WEEKS OF DRVING AROUND WITH THE HEATER ON I FINALY FOUND THE PROBLEM............. just above your left leg is a tiny little vent were the air con sucks a tiny amount of air though. well theres a small temp sensor sposed to be wired in behind it. the wires were hanging off mine. 2 sec job to reattach and the climate control worked perfect again.

yay for me lol

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Sydneykid · Posted

      Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary

      If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
