So I bought my 89 GTS-T Type M couple weeks ago and it's been such a blast. I have never driven RHD (USA lol) and was super excited to own a Skyline.

I have just begun to list upgrades and list the normal stuff to check.

So the problem I'm having with the climate control is this. .......

Everything works (all buttons do what they are suppose to do) but the actual display screen doesn't work properly. It mostly just doesnt light up at all.

Shown below (not my unit)

The front defroster button and the button to close the vent have a green light when they are activated. Sometimes they are both lit even though I didn't touch them. I tapped on the controls and sometimes the display shows up but it's either all lit up or kinda faded. It goes in and out sometimes.

I took it all apart and found only 4 of the 6 little lights work for the buttons. No biggie but I can't figure out why the display doesnt work. The controlls all seem to work right, just doesnt show the display. I took the board out and clean it up. Not sure what else it could be....

Anyone have a clue as to what I should try n do? I don't have another to swap it either.

Thanks,

B-Turbo

I would assume that if the display isnt working properly then the screen has an issue. Wether that be a connection issue or the screen itself is had it. If it were me, I'd get another climate control unit, however i dont know how common R32's are as wrecks to steal parts off over there (or people who pull the A/C out of there car)

It still may be better to just replace it unless you feel confident pulling the unit apart and having a look

My 90 GTR has a similar issue - I can't seem to find any R32 climate control units for sale on ebay presently; I'm about to buy an R33 unit and figure out if it works once and for all (unless someone can confirm either way beforehand!)

$80 isn't too bad I think. Long as is in good condition all around. There isn't really anyone to go to and take parts for these cars lol. I'm gonna call the dealer I bought the car from and see what they got. They have a list of parts on their site.

Is the r33 unit plug and play with the r32 connectors??

I tore it apart down to the board. I honestly can't see anything wrong but I haven't done circuitry that much. Sometimes it seems like things are crossed somewhere but I'm not positive

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).

      R32 Skyline Handbrake Question

      By elinde · Posted

      Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!

      I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
