Hi all.. I have a skyline 350GT 04.

Im having issues with the climate control... On 18 degrees the AC works fine for cold.

The problem is even on 18.5degrees the temperature is like having it on full heat setting, doesn't seem to be

holding correct temp...

Is this some kind of resistor or part replacement?

Im also looking at getting the notorious ripped drivers seat fixed on the leather/ vinyl seat.

I was wondering if it is possible to remove the seat BASE only with removing the whole seat? ;)

When someone has pulled apart the panel near the drivers knee, when they have refitted it they have not properly (or at all) connected the pipe that senses cabin ambient temperature. If you pull off this panel, in the left hand side under the mirror fold-on button you will see a little pipe that is supposed to be connected to the panel on the left hand side where there are some little cuts in the panel for the pipe to 'breathe'. I bet that is your problem.

If it is anything like the sedan seats. you need to remove the whole seat so you can dismantle it.

Thanks for replies... Seat base was relatively easy to remove. Removed full seat then seat base... :woot:

As for the Climate control issue I checked the pipe on the back of the panel as discussed and the pipe was STILL attached. I tried to get my hand as far as I could and followed the pipe.. It goes into a small grey box near the back of the stereo and has a hole on the top of the little unit... It looks as though it should have a pipe on top of the grey box. I had a good feel around as far as I could go and there doesn't seem to be a pipe! :angry:

could there be an electrical or part issue?

Of course, the sensor or wiring could be stuffed, but usually that sort of thing throws a code.

If you were local I could plug the consult into it and check the in cabin temp is correct, that would at least tell you the sensor is fine or not.

The sensor is separate to the hose. It is in the hose fitting on the 'kick panel' end and should have a cable connected to it. The hose is just there to draw air over the sensor.

Thanks for replies!!

So im guessing I have to get it on a fault code machine or probably cheaper just buying the sensor?

After taking my seat out the AIrbag light keeps flashing on now!! Arhh!!!!! :verymad:Everything plugged back in OK under the seat!

Is there a way to reset ECU without a trip to Nissan? Take off Battery Earth for a few minutes work?

If you had your battery connected when you undid or re-did your airbag plug, it causes it to throw a code - I have actually read reports of the airbag going OFF when it is plugged back in with the battery connected. You might have dodged a bullet. Some codes can go away by unplugging the battery and leaving your headlights on for 5 mins to completely flatten the battery. Give it a go.

The airbag circuit can go off even with the battery disconnected, as there is a residual device that powers them even if the battery is damaged. Not something you want to muck around with.

I can clear codes on the Consult 3 like I said, but where are you located Gavin? Makes it hard to know if I can help. Otherwise go to nissan, and be ready to bend over. :P

I am fairly sure the airbag light will clear after a certain number of 'ign on/off' cycles with no errors detected.

I used this process which worked after fixing the wiring in the seat, before I had my Blazt cable.

Hey all... Does anyone know where I can order a new sensor for the climate control at the drivers left knee area?

Any Part number at all?

Im thinking its probably just best to replace the sensor and hopefully this will fix the climate control heat settings problem???

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
