Hey guys,

Im having this problem with my 32 no matter when my car is on the heater pumps out hot air(even if the Climate control is off). Also when i change the temp on the CC it doesnt change the temp that is pumped out.

Do you guys think its just the Climate control or is it more to it.

Cheers,

Dave

Yep, it sounds like a problem similar to mine. I think it's the "mixer door" which controls how much hot air gets pumped into the car. I haven't actually fixed my problem yet, but there are some threads on this forum about it.

Have a listen down underneath the steering wheel (may be different in a 32 though) and you may hear a kind of motor going back and forth quickly. If you get down into the footwell and look upwards you can actually see it moving back and forth.

You should be able to go onto complete cold by selecting the coldest temp, or complete hot by selecting the hottest temp. You should hear the mixer door stop moving at this point.

One thing to check is the temp sensor located just to the left of the steering wheel. Pull off the dash and make sure it's connected properly.

My sensor was fine and I even had a guy look at the mixer door but even though he got it to work at some stage, it's gone back to its old tricks. A real pain in winter time when it tries to mix a bit of heat in, but in summer it's on full cold anyway so it doesn't make a difference :(

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
