R33 Hearter Problems

[TRUSTME]

Hi Guys

I have just purchased 1994 R33 Skyline. It has a problem with the heater. It is not blowing any hot air even with the climate adjusted to 32c !

I have been told that it may be the heater solinoid ? Can anybody help tell me where this is located and how to test it? I was thinking of trying to check a replacement climate control unit first. Any ideas on where to buy a replacement solinoid from?

Thanks for your help !

does the temp gauge on the dash sit about half way? if it doesn't then that won't be helping your heater temps as the coolant won't be that hot so won't be heating up the heater. if that is the case, start by replacing the thermostat.

also remember that the car has to be up to temp when the heater is on for any hot air to come out. if you are just hopping in in the morning and turning the heater on then the car will take longer to heat up and it will take longer for you to get warm air coming out the vents. you are actually better off driving for a few mins with the fan off and then once the car is nearly up to temp then turning on the heater.

also check that the coolant lines to the heater box haven't been removed. often they are removed if the heater box starts to leak. i have seen plenty of skylines like this.

otherwise search for the climate control diagnosis thread to see if it says how to check the solenoid.

Hi Mad082

Yep the car is warmed up when it try it. On numerous occasions i have tried it but without any luck..Yeah all coolant lines seem to be connected and box is there. I'll search for that thread and see if there is any info.

Thanks
