Hey guys,

As some of you may have read I purchased my second skyline last week which was a 1992 R32. The car is fantastic but I have two small gremlins that I was wondering if you guys could shed some light on for me:

1) The car is the skyline red moron colour- I need a small amount of touch up paint and the tag in the engine bay with the colour code is so faded I can't read it- Does anyone know the colour code for this paint????

2) The other most annoying thing is the heat factor! My climate control seems to pump out 32 degree head around my feet even when the climate control is off or at 18 degrees. Luckily it's been bloody cold the last few days so I haven't minded too much however it will be annoying to say the least when the mercury rises again!

3) Also chasing a good place to do front mount piping in the North side of the city.

Look forward to catching up with you all at the next cruise and if you can help me kill these gremlins in the R32 I will love you all forever- (in a non-sexual way)

I''m not sure?? All my AC setup looks fine but doesn't work. The other thing it does is heat up the area around the head unit and clutch which can't be doing the wiring any favours as it gets so hot!!

I might take it to a friend of mine that is a automative engineer to see what he thinks.. Will post it here if I find the solution.

Robin- The windows down option is all good unless your sitting in traffic!

At the moment I have an R32-Sauna Spec!!!

tried switching it from outside rotating air to inside?? when u have it so it vents from outside which in a 32 it is by default, u have to switch it to inside circulation to stop air from outside coming in...

if ur aircon doesnt work and doesnt ge cold go get it regassed... remember they degas them when they come into the country.

no worries... i remember i had a similar issue when i got mine... wouldnt drop at all... try FC which is when u turn it on and adjust the temp hold the - button til its on the lowest and then keep holding it... FC should show up on the little screen thing... leave it on like that for 5 mins and see if anything changes...

also check the hose running from the little vent down near the gearstick on the right top part near the ash tray... you actually have to take off the gear surround to get to it. Sometimes when stereos are installed and taken out they crimp this and this help monitor the temp in the car.

almost forgot... u should be able to check if the gas is actually there by checking that metal tube with the square metal section with a glass window... if u have the AC on and u check that glass window you should see shit in there flowing through.

from memory its in the front of the radiator behid the bar

tell us your vin number and the fast software will spit out the color code

The other most annoying thing is the heat factor!  My climate control seems to pump out 32 degree head around my feet even when the climate control is off or at 18 degrees.  Luckily it's been bloody cold the last few days so I haven't minded too much however it will be annoying to say the least when the mercury rises again!

hmm....what degree does the climate control shown when you turn it off?? coz if you set it at for example 32 degree and you turn it off...then the heat will still come out....that's what happened to my s14a

thats why i said u have to set it to recirculate air rather than pull air from outside which pushes the air through the vents when moving.

I had a similar prob with the air always being hot when I got my car. It ended up being a little motor or something under the dash near the top of your left foot. It wasn't working properly and the flap that makes the air hold or cold wasn't shutting. It was always as hot as it would go. Sorry I can't be too specific, but the dealer I bought it from had it fixed before I picked the car up, so I didn't have to fix it myself.

Hope this helps!

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25 The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing 
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
