Hi guys,

The r33 gtr aircon seems to have a mind of its own.

At first it would shut off after 5 minute of operation, I took it to auto electrician they changed one of the thermostats. This did not solve the problem. My heater was disabled because the guy said the heater was cutting in making it warm. This made it work the entire duration of when I can get it to turn on.

Now the problem is that sometimes I cannot get the aircon to turn on. Took it back to him for the 5th time... he hit the auto button afew times and listened to the compressor turning on. It worked that time... but sometimes I cannot get it to turn on at all. Who enjoys sitting in a 40 degree car, hitting the auto button on and off hoping that the aircon would work? Also, when I'm already driving and decide I want aircon there is no way for me hear that confirmatory click of the compressor so I'd wait and wait hoping for the aircon to come on but no luck at times.

I have given up on this auto electrician guy, not only has he disabled my heater but now sometimes I cannot even de-mist my windows with the aircon.

What's going on here? Is it the climate control screwing up?

Any help appreciated,

fibbo.

I wish someone would make an aftermarket climate control unit for the R33.

Cause they are total rubbish. :D

Mine is either Hot as hell or freezing- have to keep turning it on and off to keep the cabin comfortable.

Also all my gas is gone come every November and can't find the leak.

    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
    • Ok now I’m extremely jealous
