My climate buttons are on the piss as well. None of them light up at night, it has been like this since i bought it then somebody said the other night that the bulb might be blown (never really noticed). I would like to know what it looks like when the buttons are lit up. anyone got a photo? Is there a fuse to this bulb that i should look for first, or do i have to go straight for the bulb. What is involved in getting to it?

sorry for dragging up an old thread, i found this one thru the F.A.Q – Maintenance, Guides & Issues/Problems - Model Specific & General thread - Rather than making a new post and getting flamed. Its got some good info. Top work to redlinegtr for putting it together

i couldnt find any little bulbs in town so i got some LEDS and made them to work in the same spot!! LEDs are ment to last a bit longer than bulbs,so they will do!!

i dont think japs like to change them!! i didnt even know their was a light in the R32 window control switch!! and the hand brake light!!

1.sun load sensor is on the dash!!

2. room temp sensor in in that little slits near the gear boot

3. one near the radiator

4. on om the air con canistor, thing!!

i did the diog test on my aricon and the sun load and the canistor sensor were reading -1000 *C so its r00ted.

I have a theory - can anyone substantiate

Since an R33 GTR powerFC works on an R32GTR, wouldn't a R33 climate control unit work on the R32?

I would change over if I knew it worked, as they're MUCH better than the R32 units.

well seeing as my r32 one is sitting around right at the moment.. here is the rear.. from what I remember this is very similar to r33 plug wise.

Soon as somebody can post an r33 one we can verify that pretty quickly.

My display is a bit dodgy on my R32, it fades in and out (mostly out), but with a gentle tap on the bottom of the casing it will work for a little while. Since I installed my deck however, I cannot tap the bottom of it and therefore am without a display permanently. I tried to pulll it out today, but couldn't get the whole thing out, I unscrewed the 6 screws holding it in place, but couldn't actually get it out. I then proceeded to just remove the front of the unit until I reached the circuit board where I discovered that if I place pressure on the right (drivers) side of the display, it works. Unfortunately I can't get to the wiring behind it as I couldn't get the circuit board off even after undoing the 2 screws. So my question is how do you get the whole thing out? And how does the circuit board come off? Do I just need to pull harder or what?

Cheers for the help in advance.

Mine is dodgy too, and I have 2 of the things. The first one only seems to vent air to the front windscreen. The second has no display.. a tough choice :rofl:. Don't seem to have any lights on the buttons, any more info on how to change them to leds?

I changed my lights to leds.

Pull out those crappy lights that always blow.

I went out and bought wire wrap and some 805 SMD resistors and some 603 SMD leds.

Been working fine. I soldered the componetes and wired the wires in the light fittings.

I was thining of taking a few photo's on how to do it.

And than posting it up.

I dont think u need to go as small as I did with the smd (surface mount device) components.

If i do one of the light fittings again I'll take a photo off it.

My m8 needs his R31 lights converted the use the same housing in the light switches on dash sarounding cluster.

My climate control worx fine. I have heard that dry joints can develop on the display to the pcb. Well i have heard one instance of a guy who resolderd the display and he had no more problems with the unit.

Untill my own unit bigins to fail I wont know the exact answer.

But I have noticed every now and then when i turn my unit on it starts in diagnostic mode.

not often.. like once or twice.

What about lights at the wiper switch thing and hazard switch? Were there lights there at all cos' i'm having problems looking for them at night.

Also my climate control works fine except for sometimes if i have it on heat, i scroll it down to 18 and freaking heat still coming out of the vents till i have to turn the whole thing off and on and off again for several times then i'll behave. Never had any problem with my 33gts.

Also for mode funtion, if i put mode at FEET only all i hear is just the motor kept winding and sound like one of the blades got stuck at something so yeah...it just keep winding.

After owning 32GTR, i notice r33gtst climate has more funtion and works better as well. Is there a way that we can order a whole brand new unit at Nissan?

R32 fading display(pushing on back of climate control box helps)

I went through this problem.

When you take the climate control apart you will find two boards inside that slide out.

They are connected to each other by about 17 metal pins.

If your display is dodgy then look at the pins and you will notice that there is very small hairline cracks which need to be saudered.

Fix these cracks and your display will work great.

I am doing the same thing, however when I fitted the LEDs today, only two of the six illuminated.

When I connected 12V to one of the non-working LEDs, the circuit appeared completed and the same two lit up again? Any ideas on what I might have done wrong or should I pull the front off the climate control and check inside?

All LEDs were tested prior to purchase.

Any advice please SAUers?

Cheers

Yeh my buttons are shocking the only way i can change the temp is by pressing a specific button whilst pressing what i want to work. (so two buttons at one time) even then it only works sometimes.

I will pull it apart soon however i need to get the car running first, (probably a priority) think it's the head gasket.

cheers

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
