ok so ive managed to get mine working after all this. the wiring ended up being the issue with a short on a couple sensors. i seen some guys were complaining about the air con not remembering the temp they set it at when turning key off. in the FSM the is actually a STEP 6. when in step 5 press the fan button to enter step 6 and you can turn memory on/off and also correct the temp +/- 3 degrees

hi fellas.

ive got an R32 with same problem, thanks to google i stumbled on this thread and ive noticed that some people are sticking resistors in to trick the control unit into thinking its 20+ degrees inside the car. i think i may have a better solution and thought id share.

so these are the sensor charateristics:

i found these 2.2kohm thermistors on ebay for 5 bucks:

GA93521 2322 640 63222. Vishay BC Components Thermistor , NTC 2.2K 5%

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GA93521-2322-640-63222-Vishay-BC-Components-Thermistor-NTC-2-2K-5-/141252970692?pt=AU_B_I_Electrical_Test_Equipment&hash=item20e35548c4

so theyre 2.2k ohm @ 25deg C

according to the skyline manual we need 2.65k ohm @25deg C so they should be in the ballpark.

dunno if this helps anyone, but information is valuable and sharing is caring.

I did a diagnostic test on my A/C and the only error I got was the inside temp sensor at -30C. So I'm planning to do the 2k resistor trick but I'm unsure which sensor needs the resistor, Is it replacing the resistor in the inside temp sensor itself or placing a resistor on the sunload sensor?

The thermistor, which I believe is what you are referring to as the refrigerant sensor is located on the ac core inside your dash. In my r33 I was able to access it by removing the glove box and getting a little crafty. In the end it was just a loose connection on the plug that made my problems go away. If the thermistor isn't working, it wont allow the compressor clutch to activate.

Ah yep mad thanks for that

seems like my values are fine but blend door motor isn't working so just ordered a new one from Nissan via japan

should be here soon

Could you link me where you ordered it from? I've been trying to revive old blend door motors to no avail and can't find the specific actuator either.

I opened it up and re-soldered the pins on the actuator and it works again

It's been asked many times but no one stating exactly where they are located, can someone please tell us where they are on an r32 Gtr:

intake temp sensor 

refridgerent sensor

i know the outside temp sensor is the black one on the AC fan behind the grill

and inside temp sensor is the one next to the ash tray

 

thanks

Ok so had my AC regassed Afew months ago and was working good except for the blend door motor issue

last month or so started blowing warm airso I got a brand new blend door motor through Nissan, 

put that in, and still blows warm air, did the diagnostic test and came back with no errors and all the sensors read fine

compressor still engages if I turn it on but only warm air comes out, I suspect it's leaking somewhere even though I put brand new Nissan AC o rings at all the joins

he has put a die in the gas, would it visible to the naked eye where the leak could be ? All the johns look good dunno if it's the condensor/ac compressor/evaporator box under the dash ?

 

any input or help would be great thanks

If the leak is real bad, you will be able to see it with the naked eye. If small you need to use a uv light. I had a leak in a previous car and the a/c guy pulled out a special uv torch. It turned out the leak was coming from the previously replaced o ring that hadn't seated properly. $300 later it was all fixed.

Ok I found my leak

the rubber hose coming off the compressor and goes to the front of the car, had 2 pin hole leaks, I removed bother bibber hoses, the other goes from compressor to firewall

and have pirtek install new hoses on the fittings aswell as fire sleeve to protect it from the heat

Awesome thread! I just bought an R32 GTR and the aircon was only blowing the windscreen and was not cold at all. I discovered the aircon relay was dead (900 ohm across the coil). A friend gave me one from his GTR and it measured 60 ohm. Now I can hear the compressor kick in. I removed the mode selector motor and hooked it up to my bench top power supply. It moves, so I moved it to a position where it was shorting one of the "combs". Installed it back into the car and it works! The aircon is cold, but not icy cold. I think during the sun it will not be good enough.

I ran the tests and get no fault codes. The temps as 32,32.5,25, 4-10. Is the refrigerant temp too low or is this normal? It was reading much higher before I fixed the relay.

I haven't yet checked if my temp control door is working correctly, but I know for sure that is directs hot air at my feet if I set the temp to 32.

Temperatures look okay.

My aircon seems to be cold when it's below 25 degrees but when it hits 30+ it won't cool the cabin..Does anyone know if this is a sign of low refrigerant or if my compressor has just carked it?

    • One other thing worth mentioning when I did this job I only jacked up the driver side as I was only doing work there, but from what I understand both wheels should be in the air when removing the sway bar links?
    • Yep it's an r34. Usually people remove struts without removing the front upper control arm (fuca is what i assume this is?) So not sure why mine wouldn't fit. I know on my other car I did a similar job and it wouldn't fit until I removes the ball joint nut even though I didn't remove it prior.   The upper arm doesn't seem to be in the way (the part that's bolted to the chassis. The part that's bolted onto the j arm I'll check that out though.   I was going to compress the spring and put it in with the compressor attached but not sure if it will work  Haven't seen anyone do it.
    • I have a small lip on the boot of the E90 and I've been toying with the idea of trying to mould it in to the boot to remove the gaps. I guess shaving the seams? No idea what the terminology is here.  What I'm wondering is, if it's current double sided taped down, what would I do to more permanently attach it so it makes a good base for the filler? It only has edges so no way to bolt it down unless I add some braces. I've done a lot of fibre glassing in my time so that's nice and easy but I'm not sure what my options are here.  Sorry, this is the best pic I have and I'm 4 million ks from home ATM.  
    • Based on this comment I went googling. A052's in the sizes I want are certainly not cheap, but I couldn't find anything in the V70A anywhere. How much do they run/where do they get sourced from? From what I know (nothing but internet searches and reviews etc) the R888 has pretty much fallen off from anyone's actual use, and the AO52 is the king of "road legal" rubber. Nobody is driving around on their daily for Z221, AO050, DZ03G. At that point, for purely track only tyres - Why not buy actual slicks? Why does nobody actually do that anyway?
    • This an R34? It shouldn't matter though - it should be the same as on any of the others, and by "any of the others" I mean R32, because that is the car that I have had the front end apart on about 50 times this year. Sometimes, it is much easier to get the lower shock eye onto that pin when: a) you have the upper shock nuts backed off a few turns so you can wiggle it a bit more freely. When they are tight the bottom of the strut is much harder to move that _leeeetle_ bit you might need it to to win the fight. b) you have the outer bolt(s) from the FUCA out and so you can move the lower pin around freely too. Then, all you have to do is put the upper arm back on when you've got the rest back together, and this is where jacking under the balljoint can help.
