Hi guys, I have a click-click-click noise coming from the vents in the middle of the dash whenever I switch aircon modes... it seems to be struggling to move the vent baffles around inside the aircon unit.

if I set it to split the air feet and top vents it settles down, but any other setting and every time you restart the car it clicks away for about 20 secs... anyone had a similiar problem?

I have the dash off for a stereo install, but I cant see anything wrong (dont know what to look for to be honest)... suggestions?

Thanks

Conrad

HI ya mate! how many times I told this to people!

I fixed and it's not pretty! it took me 7 hours taking whole dash a part and lucky that I had the part I need from wrecked GTR

the part will cost you at least couple of hundred from japan, so I hear...

I'll give you hands if you still wanna fix it...

it's the airvent acurator it's black box size of your hands that controls automatic aircon wind directions..etc..etc.

it's pain in the ass to fix it! but it can be done!

cheers

Thanks for the info Joe. While i got you, do you know anywheree/anyone I can get a set of good condition speaker grilles for the rear parcel shelf? Just replaced the speakers and the grilles are stuffed (they were smashed when they fitted the child restraint crapola for compliance).

Thanks

Conrad

well once you complied when you dont need child restrain.. unles you got a kid.

uumm... I dotn think so you can try wanted section here but I doubt that... they are so fragile and easy to break. just get new speaker system! or try the car audio shops they might have spares from old skylines :cool:

cheers

Joe

    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
