Ok ive searched here and there over the past few months, havnt found a solution and need help if there is any.

Its been about 2 or 3 months now my air con stopped working (randomly worked twice for a few minutes in the past 2 months when i put it on). Not only that but when i put my "reds" on a clicking noise sounds from behind the climate control unit under the dash which clicks around 12 times.

Fed up on friday arvo, i pulled out the climate control thinking it was making the noise and responsible for the lack of "cold air". It wasnt the unit. So i pulled out the glove box and the noise came from behind where the climate control unit sits. I thought "fark pulling out the dash" and didnt.

I took out the air con fuse from the engine bay and the noise is still there, the fuse is also fine. I disconnected the climate control and the noise was gone... WTF!!! Just to clarify the heater and normal air (18) work fine its the air con im talking about.

Other problem is my hand brake light stays on in the mornings when its cold but in the after noon im pretty sure it never stays on...

Other problem is when you press that buttom that makes the side mirrors retract in the left side works fine but the drivers side mirror doesnt retract. If i physically retract it myself, it will go "out" to normal position when i press the button.

Thanks in advanced i hope these problems have unfortunately been experienced by someone else.

Air con clicking is a small plastic cog/s that are stripped and slipping. Do a search and there are even pics, but pulling the dash to bits is something I put in the 'fark that' basket for now as my compressor has shat itself anyway. Good luck with that

handbrake light is the brake fluid is low, cold in the morning means fluid shrinks compared to afternoon it expands ect ect, i had the same thing with my hi-cas light

Could also be the switch at under the lever. They are a real cheap shitty item and mine used to stick until I sorted it out.

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
