The other night if was cold as so i went to put the climate control on, turned up

the temp to 32 degress and waited for hot air to come out, waited, waited, nothing,

the only thing coming out was cold air. I was using the heater a couple of nights before

and it seemed to be working fine. Everything else work fine as far as i'm aware of,

has anyone incurred this problem before?

Run a diagnostic check on the climate control system. The Workshop manual explains how to. If you dont already have it search for it and d\l it. It sounds to me that the tap that controls flow of water to the heater is not opening. It could be stuck or just plain broken.

I don't think the ambient air temp does too much.... it just tells you how high the temp is *outside* the car, and maybe does a small correction..

Proper way to test it all is.. put key in ignition position..

within 10 seconds, hold down the "off" button for 5 seconds.. will go into testing mode..

Press "up" (the arrow) 5 times i think it is (or is it 4).. this goes into the temp sensor area (it will display the temperature of each sensor in turn - there is about 4). Press AMB to view the temp each one is reading in turn. If you've got an abnormal or -30deg in any of them the sensor is bung.

There are other tests you can do when in the testing mode, but I think think the above will be most useful in this situation

There is a sensor at the front of the car (ambient read out) and there is another to the right of your ashtray behind the 4 little slits, I think, but not sure, your A/C and heater works from the temp coming from there and heats or cools accordingly. Can anyone else confirm this? :bunny:

When mine was doing this, it was the actuator arm falling off the blender motor (I think that's what it's called - that's what we called them when I worked for Ford anyway). The bit that controls whether hot or cold air came out anyway. It was stuck in the "cold" position obviously. I didn't fix it, but my mechanic had a quick look under the dash for me when I was there for something else and he fixed it in half a minute with a circlip or the like.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
