Hi, I am thinking of purchasing my mate's r32 gtst, and it has the old scholl air con unit, not the newer climate control. What I want to know is, is it possible to install the newer r32 climate control module, as I have gotten used to it in my r33? Has anyone done this before. I know it is pretty pendantic, I just like the control that climate control allows for.

Pedantic???? That's one word for it. Luckily, it is probably not practical to convert. Prob some wires missing from loom, etc.,. If you ever get some of the weird problems that the Climate Control can throw at you,just in order to not have to turn something up, down or off, you'll wonder why you wanted it.

yeah.. it might be a "non mspec" thing.. or just a factory option that is 95% optioned on...

I got the old sliders too.. I know they work, but hell, I like the digital thingo, makes you feel like you have a fancier car (pedantic I know).

I picked up the control unit and the loom for $100 to do the conversion.. I have had a quick look, and it looks like the slider controls actually have the old-style cable mechanism which opens up the various flaps near the firewall. This makes it tricky, as I think the newer method works with actuators (like the R33) to open the vents, etc. So I'll probably need the actuators to actually do it. Looking more and more expensive.

I can't find out too much information either on the conversion, other than for the S13, which I assume it could be similar to.

I really have to pull the whole dash apart to find out what sort of task it is.. not high on my list of priorities right now.

Hmmm... well guess i'm just thankful i have the Climate Control, however, if they were an option i can't see it being a massive task to fit on after the fact. After all the factory had to do it and it'd be woefully ineffiecent too make really to do (altho if it's ALL behind the dash that's much easier with a partially assembled car).

Good luck.

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
