Hi guys after looking at many past posts and taking my dash apart i still can't find what the f@#k is going on>

Symptons

Air con is engaginging pipe going into fire wall goes ice cold

Hot air blows regardless of what temp its on

thought it was the sensor left of the steering wheel as i left off the pipe thing when putting in stereo but i put it back on still nothing

did the air con diag thingy and got error 25 (sunlight senor)

also when i change the temp from hot to cold sometimes (only sometimes just random) i can feel the cold air coming through (stuck my hand down the vent) but its clearly over powered by the hot air!!

is it this blend flap or what ever its called ????

if so where is it??

some one must know how to fix it HELP!! ;):D;):P:P:)

sounds like it. I think there's a mechanical switch on the heater box? Does your dash make a bunch of clicking noise when changing the temp?

nope! i just don't know what the hell it is

the first time i took the dash off it was fine then after the second time it sh$t it self

maybe a wire is loose ??

do you know where the blend flap/door is located

"Anyone who has that clicking noise when you start your R33 from behind the dash, the bit you need is shown in the 3rd pick down - black box on top of heater box. "

Oh.. maybe the clicking is BAD? My temps all work though!

But some guy wanted the actuators... might be an idea to look at the pic, and sus out the wiring to the actuators?

"I am after the 2 control actuaters that go on the side of the heater unit if you can give me your details i will call and arange something to get them of your hands, cheers .Andrew "

Pretty much disconnect it, or disconnect the battery. In either case, it needs to be for 30 minutes or so. Note the settings that it was on when you turned it off, and when you disconnect and reconnect it, the settings should be back to default. Then it's reset.

Finally !!! found the problem was the blend door after all

where the rod thing connects under the unit had just fallen off ???

don't know how!!

Funny! i spent hours trying to figure this thing out and ended up only taking 10 seconds to fix <_<

my advise is to check this before anything else as its so easy to fix and you don't need to remove the dash

And where abouts is this blend door located?

the blend door itself is in side the aircon unit in directly behind the stereo and climate control unit if you take the dash off and stick your hand in the vent

its to the left and it blacks

on the outside of this unit (drivers side foot well) there is a motor with a grey rod looking thing that runs the opppisite direction (back towards the passanger side)

when you move the temp from hot to cold the motor should move the rod back and forth which should be attached to the blend door.

in my case rod had fallen off where it connects to the blend door (motor was fine)

from the passanger side foot well you should be able to see this clearly

just clip it back on :(:(

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
