I sent the my R32 in after a little ding to get a full respray.

I got the car back and the A/C wasn't working.

They stuffed the regas and had too much water in the system.

At this point the Climate control was working perfectly.

I dropped the car back in for 3 weeks which they resprayed the whole car again due to massive paint runs, the paint being too dry and horrid orange peel.

I've got the car back today and everything is fine A/C is working again BUT The climate control is doing strange things.

Before: Hitting the A/C or ECON button would change the air to the vents and ramp up the fan speed, while engaging the A/C.

After: Hitting the A/C or ECON button now sends air to the feet and won't ramp up the fan or turn the a/c on. The air stays at amb temp.

Pressing the Fan button to turn the system in to manual mode will ramp up the speed but the air will still stay at amb with no a/c clicking in.

The only way to get the A/C to cut in is by holding down the Cool button which then turns it to FC mode.

Before: Hitting the Demister button would change the air direction to the windows, turn on the A/C and ramp up the fan speed.

After: Hitting the demister button will change the air direction, turn on the A/C but it won't ramp up the fan speed. Then after around 30secs the air will go slightly warm.

Any idea's any one?

If its not one thing its always another. frown.gif

I've done a few things at once.

Checked the external air temp sensor.. It appeared not to be plugged in properly.

Checked the sun load sensor. It appeard to have a bit of crap on it.

It seems to be working fine now so thank goodness for that. :)

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
