Climate control isn't working

Ever since I fitted the Wolf to the GTS4, I've had no A/c / Climate Control. And today was "Hot, DAMN HOT". The A/C works, except that it won't fire the compressor, because pin 9 has something to do with the "low gas pressure" switch in the A/C system.

Can someone please track down the colour of the wire at pin 9 on a R32 ECU. And, if possible, please tell me what happens at that pin (volts = ??, whatever) when the A/C is turned on. Is it simply a matter of connecting to earth to get the A/C to work again.

Well the low gas pressure switch is generally setup in series with your A/C circuit, and if you have low gas she will not pull the clutch in. I don't have a wiring diamgram for a skyline 32 or 33 just to see what might be stopping the flow of power.

With a test light and the car running and the A/C turned on at the climate control, probe the wires to see if power is getting to the pressure switch, and then passing through it and going to the compressor clutch. If the power is getting right down to the compressor it is possible to have a break in the clutch winding - I have seen quite a few in different vehicles.

P.S. I take it you did the easy things first and checked all the fuses? :)

IF your pressure is OK, And your magnetic clutch is OK, and current gets thru the pressure switch, then earthing it After the pressure switch will switch on yout Aip-Con. Wire 9 does earth thet wire inthe ECCU, but it gets a signal from wire 46 to enable it to do so. I havent worked out why yet, got similar prob to yours. Still working on it. Voltage @ 9 with A/C ON abt 1 volt ?? A/C OFF - Supply Voltage. If you find prob, please post. May help me. Don't now what long-term result may be from earthing after pressure switch, though it appears to have no ill-effect.

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
