Well if anyone can shed more light on the diagnostics mode of aircon it would be great. Especially since I think I might have upset my outside temp reading (not sure how). But what you so is; 1) turn your ignition on (dont need to start the car) and within 10sec hold the off button for 5sec. 2) Your in! If I remember correctly (will check again in a mo as goign to work on car again) you initially see all LED display elements illuminated. Then I think you use the "mode" button to toggle to menu options 2, 3, 41 & 51. I will check these again later. When you in menu 51 you can push the "up" button (as in the the up and down for adjusting temp setting) to toggle into mode 61 where you can set the temp offset by 3 degrees in increments of 0.5*C. Also I think in this mode 61 if you push the demister button I think it is (top left button of aircon controls) you can toggle into the readouts for all 3 temp sensors. Again I hope I got that right working of my memory from 2 days ago. I will suss out again in a mo.

Hey Guys, just thought I'd report back that I fixed it! I figured out how to get into the aircon service mode and did a test between the diff modes and foudn things were moving/switching except to the head mode. Ripped of the covers from the drivers side to get access to the motors and actuator gearing. I could then see there was minimal movement with the head mode position and then when poking with a screw driver found a moving black piece of plastic in the white gears that did not look like it belonged there. And sure enough it didn't. I removed this plastic object and then found all works! So saved myself a heap of time.

Yep when I select the different mode the display changes appropriately. All looks fine but I had my head where the gearbox usually is (lol) and was pressing the mode selection button and nothing was happening. No sounds, movements, etc. Just dead. So I guess I have to pull out the center console. Was just trying to avoid that. Cheers!

hey so i done some more investigating. I pulled out the glovebox and then the aircon filter. Yuk! But with the filter and glovebox out I give me more access to hear and see what is going on. So the fan works, the aircon works but the mode switch does not seem to do anything at all. Moving from Head mode to feet mode or to head & feet mode or head & demister mode I neither hear or see any motor/flap movements. Its seems as though the selection mode and/or switch are not functioning. Anyone know of any quick checks or fixes? Or does this seem more server like faulty electronics somewhere? Would be great if its jsut a blown fuse. I have checked the fuses down near the acceleration pedal and all seem ok. thanks.

No probs for stupid questions as your right. Sometimes we just over look the simplest things. But yes the vents are manually open. Also I should have mentioned that I have turned the temp down to the lowest setting of 18*C. I have tried turing the actual AirCon on/off and can tell it works because int eh side vents with ery little breeze it cools down a little and I can hear the change in idle RPM when turning it on/off. I shall check out those links. Any more info/help still glad to hear of. Cheers.

Hi Guys, Just bought myself a Stagea M35 Axis Autch 2002 turbo. WOW! Its even better than I thought. Love the power when the boost comes on. Also the noise it makes when it gets up and going. At first I thought is that the turbos and was a bit worried. But as time went on I believe its something else (engine/gearbox/ or turbo I guess). Sound like a supercharger to be honest. Nothing bad like the siren noise you hear when a turbo is on its way out. Anyway back to point. I noticed when I crank up the fan speed in the cockpit that there is no serious air blowing out the center vents either side of the TV/Stereo. Well actually nothing. Adn the side vents near the door have a very weak output. But the lower vent near your feet have good output! Make me think that the venter behind the dash is not connected and is just blowing where ever behind dash. just wanted to check if anyone else has had this and their solutions before I start going and ripping the dash apart? I'd hate to start pulling the glovebox out and find nothing wrong and for it to turn out to be a setting issue or fuse? I would have thought if I turn up the fan full speed I could feel a gust of wind on my face like all other cars I have had. Yeah something not right. So any info/tip/pics anyone could share it would be much appreciated. Paul.

Hi All, Well I am glad to say I will soon be a nissan owner once again - cant wait! About to buy a Nissan Stagea M35 Axis Autech 2002 model - turbo. I have come here to look into converting the trip computer system from Jap to English text. But I am looking for some quick tips/info/links to help me get up to speed as there is a HUGE amount a info on this site and even this Stagea forum section. Its crazy! But nice. So anything would be helpful as I do not want to be a inconvenience. So I want to get the jap to eng conversion done. I see Andy's email as the go to guy for Sydney area? Can I do this myself since I studied electronic engineering in computer systems? I am always tweaking/hacking stuff. And I would like to make use of the navigation system if possible but I think people are installing replacements? Also I guess I need to work out if I have series 1 or 2 - how do I know that? Also would be cool to have TV and external inputs for other devices like iPhone. And anyone translated the characters on the buttons of the trip computer. I dont have the car yet (hopefully in this coming week) which you may be able to tell from my questions. I will probably figure a lot of this stuff out once I got the new toy in my hands to start investigating but I want to make a head start on the text translations. Any help greatly appreciated and great to be back here and to soon own a nissan again. Paul.
