no matter how cold u set the air throught the vents its allways hot, even with aircon on

i have done a engine and dash swap over so I duno what I would of missed to cause this to happen, its only done it since the swap. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be good cos im forced to drive with window down to keep the car cool even with the air off, heat still leaks through the air vents

Run your climate control through the diagnostic in the tutorial section thread. It'll tell you what's wrong with your system, but at first guess, I'm gonna say that you forgot to plug in a temperature sensor.

Hah. There is a tube that screws into the plastic surround for the DIN slots on your centre console. It attaches behind a little grille bit just up and to the right of the gear stick. That's a temp sensor. Check that one out, I reckon you either haven't hooked that up or it's not there at all.

The sensor mentioned above (the one just to the right of the gear stick behind the little slits) is the one that was not connected in my car, and I had the same problems as you (hot all the time). I reconnected mine and walah, the aircon works, and I no longer need to press the recirculate button to stop hot air pouring into the cabin all the time.

Dig up of an old thread.

I have had the same problem ever since I did my first engine. Now in the current setup I have removed the aircon completely.

How do I bypass these plugs so that the heater stops blowing hot air into the cabin?

      Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.

      Shifting questions

      Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By MBS206 · Posted

      A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!

      I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?

      From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
