Climate control, clock and antenna electrics

I've just got an R33 GTR and have a couple of queries on some of the interior electrics which I think are not working correctly but I have nothing to compare them to.

The climate control resets every time the ignition is turned off, ie I have to turn the unit on and set the temperature every time I drive the car. Is this how it should operate or should it retain the settings from the previous use?

The electric antenna does not go up. It has a Clarion CD player fitted and the antenna does not go up when the radio is switched on or by using the button on the dash. How should the antenna operate?

Finally my clock resets too 1.00 every time the ignition is turned off/on. It is also very dim all the time whether the lights are on or not. Wiring, I guess?

Cheers

The wire may also be marked "REMOTE" from the deck (same as remote for amps etc)

Most decks use a light blue wire for the remote wire. You could try tracing the wire back, it may be pinched/cut/corroded.

Also as dAVE said - could the antenne motor.

I would definitely check the wiring first, as your other problems were fixed with fuses, so something may have shorted out at some stage.

Could also just be the mast of the antenna - when you first switch the deck on, have a listen to see if you can hear the motor going or not - if you can, then i'd say the mast has been threaded (they are plastic).

Might want to also try getting a multimeter to see if there is current getting to the antenna to begin with...

My car just started doing the samething, I was wondering how you went with that problem.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
