Hey peeps

The climate control fan has decided to stop working, cool air will come out of the vents in the car but there is nothing pushing it out...

Where is the fan located, is there an easy fix and what can i do about this?

I guess if its not a DIY job ill send it to Nissan.

Car is an R33 (96) btw

Thanks all

Regards

Jazza

So the fan doesn't work on heat either, right? If it's a dead fan, it means pulling most of the dash apart, and replacing the heaterbox.

If you're lucky, it's just a blown fuse. By your right knee, there is a panel that pops off, and some fuses are there. From memory, one of them is called "blower motor". Check that fuse and let us know! =-]

Sounds like it! I was confused as to why the question was directed at an R33, yet the avatar is an R32.

Oh, btw... might be easier to test ALL the fuses. Might as well since you're there. The one fuse mounted vertically on the left-side is a spare, so it won't do anything.

Sounds like you got a nice collection going jazza hehe

Do you have a favourite? From memory I think you said your R32 had a RB25DET in it??

Here's the interior fusebox. Sorry about the quality, it was a photo taken of my user hand book lol. I think the other 2 fuseboxs have english layouts printed on them?

Hey dude, cheers for the diagram

The R32 has an rb20 in it, personally i much prefer the 32. I was looking for a 32 wit rb25 in it but couldnt find it and found one with an rb20 in it that was in great nick!

The 33 is more of a cruisey sort of car, the rb25 makes up for the weight in a straight line (although the 32 with same mods tends to go slightly harder as you can wind up the boost!) but its around the corners the 32 stands ahead. If your looking for a street racer id go a 32, if your looking to cruise around id go a 33. Both have very nice interiors however the 33 is abit more roomy and of course has the advantage of being a newer car!

Damn and Nissan said because they didnt bring them in they dont know too much about them but they'd have a look... they charge through the roof aswell and if they dont know what they are looking for maybe ill go with someone else lol

Maybe ill take it to an air-con place, thanks for ne help :O

There is a DIY thing on here but damn its way too complicated lol

I was just about to say "Nissan Australia mechanics don't know Skylines because there were only 100 32's locally delivered to Australia"...

I recken it might be worth contacting a reputable car stereo place, and ask if they've ever removed the dash before. Then work on the heaterbox fan yourself.

Actually... with some spare time and patience, you can pull it apart yourself if you just go slow and logically. Search for 32 stereo install guides here, because half of them show you how to remove most of the front facia.

Remember this is for an R33 not R32 aswell peeps hehe :)

Im not real keen on doing it myself to be honest mate, dont have the time or patience! I will ring around a few air-con places if nobody has any better recommendations in Perth (preferably SOR).

Thanks for the help Randy!

Hey no worries!

I'm paranoid about taking my car to anyone who is just going to guess like you and me how to remove the dash. (I think you and I would be more careful than some overworked A/C tech)

So personally, i'd still have someone who has pulled an R33 dash apart before do the stripping, then take the faulty unit out and put 12v onto the fan. If it doesn't spin, it's definately dead.

Actually, you know what... whether you take the fan part out yourself or not, I recken this is an auto-electrician's job more than an A/C guy. The piping and gas is all fine, you have an electrical problem. A sparky can check fuses and test the fan, possibly without removing it at all.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
