Hi guys, my car has no receiver dryer and no ac fan, and constantly pumps unstoppable hot air through the vents. I'm really not mechanically minded so could someone explain to me wtf is going on and how i can get it fixed cause i have no idea where to start.

have u checked that the switch for where the air comes from is not set onto outside air..U know the switch where u can change it from outside air to recirculating air already inside the cabin..

if u have it to outside air no matter if the a/c is off air will still come thru

vinnie is right, turn it on, and press recirculate so that the green (?) light comes on. let it change over to recirculate and turn it off. then never touch it again lol

yeah tried that, does nothing.

If the interior air sensor is disconnected you will only get hot air so my guess is that it will be either faulty or disconnected. If you find its connected try running the climate control diagnostic to see if its faulty. Common thing to find with your symptoms. The sensor is located on the center console facia behind where there is a small vent in it. Pull it off and you will see what i mean. If you need pics, i can arrange them.

i have same problem but i have aircon. I cant get it to recirculating. Would it be either the switch or the motor that powers the flap? If so, how hard is it to get to the motor?

Thanks

Sounds like one of your motors are dead. Either the motor which controls the hot/cold air or the face/feet/etc direction motor or both!

Try the diagnostic first to see what it tells you. The motors are located behind the dash and it requires you to take everything out to replace them.

Hi.

What Deren is referring to is the sensor which is behind the 4 slits located beside the ash tray. To check the sensor is connected remove the ash tray look and you will see the sensor on the right hand side. Locate the wires coming from it and if it is not connected fish around and find the other connector- you cannot go wrong as all the connectors only fit one thing. Hopefully this should fix the problem. If you have any work done to your car recently ie clutch or new stereo equipment it is usually the cause as professinals?? who do the work like to remove the surround which goes around the centre dash equipment and neglect to connect this or the cigarette lighter wires. Hope this helps.

There is another sensor located in the engine compartment on the firewall behind the engine although is not normally a problem unless you have been playing around in that area.

man, this thread has reminded me how hot R32 GT-Rs are when the weather is warm.

even with the vent set to recirc, the heat that comes through the firewall and floorpan when you drive it for a while is annoying

you could always try the simplest solution and see if all the vacuum lines are connected at the back of the climate control panel - don't laugh, I had the exact symptoms you described - checked everything they pulled the stero out again and found i'd knocked the lines off. 5 minute job and problem solved. i had added a new head unit.

My 32 GTR was the same - constantly blowing hot air, even with it set to recirculation... this thread helped me fix mine - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...old-t93814.html :D

R32's dont use vacuum to control vents etc. Its all electronic with motors doing the work. Sounds like its actually quite easy to see the connecter as our12 described. Check that out. Good chance its the cause. If not its a good place to start anyway. Process of elimination.

Deren

behind the stereo surround/console theres a plastic line it hink its for the climate control.

i left mine off by accident once and it kept blowing hot air in, connected it back up and air was normal :P

yes there is the intake temp hose behind the dash just to the right of the air con panel,if that falls off or if you have pulled the dash out it blows just hot air

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
