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

    • 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.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
