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 :(

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Note when Duncan says that, he means "when you're not using the correct lifting points on the sills, because you want to work on the sills. A 2 post hoist is not appropriate for everything anyway, and working on the sills is a good example of that, because the arms go under ths sills anyway. You're better off finding another way to support the car off the ground. Beyond that everything else D said is correct. Only the dedicated jacking points are the correct place to lift. Anywhere else is incorrect, extra caution and awareness must be used, etc etc.

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By Duncan · Posted

      Your off site links didn't work for me, and in any case it is easier for forum members if you post the pic directly either as an attachment or a link so the information is all in one place. That aside, the sills are the correct place to lift the car, whether with the factory jack or a hoist. Yes you should use rubber blocks with a slit for the seam on a hoist to avoid bending the pinch weld (where yours is currently bent, just bend it back if possible eg vicegrips), and be aware of the height you need in the blocks to clear any sill extensions to the hoist arms as it lifts If what you are doing needs access to the sills, the rear subframe bush would also be strong and secure. I'm not sure what you mean by sidemember (maybe same part I mean by sills) but be careful that your front support point is not too far back as the car is very front heavy and could overbalance.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Here's my first iteration - white duct tape so color is off, but this is just a straight line across the bonnet lip. From a geometry standpoint, this is probably closest to what a GTR has. Next up is some $5 white pearl vinyl and some rubber door sill trim, applied to the BACK of the bonnet lip. It's more accurate placement to the GTR, but also follows the body lines on this setup a bit more. Couple more pics on this config incoming: Again, a $5 vinyl and rubber job, it's  POC still and not how I'm gonna run this part. But one thing I'll note is that the black trim does need to "straighten out" a bit, and instead of going completely along the line of the bonnet lip, might be better suited to wrap over the "horns" of the bonnet lip, giving it a less aggressive curve up at the ends.  The correct way to do this would be to paint it body-matched and then decide how you want to make the black line. If you used paint or a pinstripe, you could have the black line go straight to the corner of the headlight where the rubber strip typically meets the headlight on a GTR.   Hope this helps!
