hi all,

firstly..., no dash removal nessesary.

i have an r33 gtst, currently searching the net for replacement heater actuators (and the lack of).

ive come across this forum and found alot of the same problem. the following steps to remove...... as follows

#1- REMOVE GLOVE BOX AND UPPER GLOVE BOX COVER.

#2- FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, THE ENTIRE HEATER BOX UNDER THE DASH IS SEGRIGATED IN (THREE PARTS). HEATER FAN/ A/C EVAPORATER/ HEATER BOX...

#3- UNDO BOLTS THAT HOLD THE CENTER A/C BOX, (THIS YOU CAN SEE ONCE YOU TAKE OUT THE GLOVE BOX AND UPPER COVER) (ALSO IF YOU CANT SEE IT IT IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR) (WHICH IS TO THE LEFT OF THE WHOLE HEATER ASSY) (AND THE HEATER BOX TO THE RIGHT)

#4- YOU CANNOT REMOVE THE CENTER CARTRIGE COMPLETLY (UNLESS YOU DEGAS THE AC SYSTEM AND REMOVE THE AC LINES LOCATED IN THE ENGINE BAY ON THE FIREWALL) SOO.....

#5- LIGHTLY MOVE THE CENTER CARTRIGE AROUND UNTILL IT DEPARTS FROM THE MOTHERSHIP (THUS GIVEING YOU ROOM TO GET YOU ARM/HAND TO THE TROUBLED HEATER ACTUATOR) (ALSO REMOVE ELECTRICAL PLUGS TO COMPONENTS ON THAT SECTION FOR A BIT MORE SPACE).

#6- ONTOP OF THE HEATER BOX (TO THE RIGHT OF THE CENTER CARTRIGE) IS THE CLICKY MONSTER, PUT YOUR HAND UP THERE AND GET A M8 TO TURN THE KEY FROM OFF TO ON ( A/C MODULE ON ALSO) IT REALLY SHOULDNT TAKE MORE THAN ONE ATTEMPT TO FIND THE CLICKEY MONSTER.

#7- GRAB A 8MM RING SPANNER AND GO BY FEEL, (U CANNOT HAVE YOUR HEAD AND SPANNER IN THERE AT THE SAME TIME)

#8- THE LITTLE ACTUATOR IS BOLTED FROM THE TOP BY 2X 8MM (HEAD) BOLTS. AND ONCE THEY ARE REMOVED, JUST PULL IT OFF.

#9- JUMP ON THE INTERNET AND TRY AND FIND THE LITTLE F%%$$#$, ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER ONES :)

BY THE WAY I HOPE THIS HELPS AS FRUSTRATING AS IT IS TO FIND PARTS FOR THE BEST CAR EVER MADE!! (WITHOUT BUYING THE WHOLE HEATER ASSY)

I had a constant clicking noise via air conduit flaps and propeller (on a BCNR33).

A quick fix by my panelbeater friend involved 3 steps.

1) Open up air intake option (ie don't have recirculation operating)

2) Spray high quality silicone down each vent through its thin stalk

3) Turn vacuum cleaner to blow mode (if available); but a compressor hose will do the same.

My clicking stopped for over a year > repeated the process before I sold the car

Hi,

This thread helped me a bit so I thought to help you guys too.

Once you have removed the clicking box (I removed it without pulling the whole dash) it should look something like this.20170401_201317.thumb.jpg.eca825bb9cf7676a0a4614ab1d94619b.jpg

Theres small clips around that box. Try to open it carefully. I broke all of those and just glued it back together.

When you get it opened you should see this.20170401_201356.thumb.jpg.9ea6ecffb3a75bae075463884e9cd703.jpg

As you can see theres couple teeth missing from gears that are on the part with that arm.20170401_201407.thumb.jpg.6c12bbee7a6dcc41d5eb32e145bbe128.jpg

Next step you have to remove that bigger gear from the arm. Dont try to separate that gear from the axel, those are solid. 

I used tip of a knife to pry out some plastic inside that arm. I think you could also use a drill or something.20170401_201424.thumb.jpg.eedd21f717d24149f1143fa64226e4a8.jpg

Then I just used bended needle nose pliers to pop that arm off.20170401_201435.thumb.jpg.0405c7e2fda4fb482d0de21746203c73.jpg

Now we can aling those broken gears so that those broken parts will never touch other gears.20170401_201522.thumb.jpg.59f54d08b74a4d4c7d655367f3ec1b5e.jpg

Next I just used super glue to put that arm back. Remember to check that the smaller gear is working with whole movement of that arm. I think it has to be spot on so that broken part is not used.

Grease everything up and then put that arm on the same position where it was when you took it out so it wont grind gears next time you change ac mode.

Be careful not changing smaller gear position when closing that box.

Put all back together and enjoy no clicking sound and working ac modes.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
