Hey guys,

I've got a few annoying problems with my R32 GTST that I have tried to fix a number of times but just gave up.

Every now and then i take my baby out for a spin and try to turn my heater on and the air coming through just doesn't get hot. I've tried to find the control module that makes it go hot and cold but I've got no idea where it is. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it sux.

My rear dimister doesn't work either! The little light that is supposed to come up on the dash when you press the button doesn't work either. Its all connected so I'm guessing there is a break in the line somewhere.

And last but not least the rear windscreen sprayer doesn't spray. I tested the motor and its fine.

Also does anybody know what fuse is what. The back of the box is all in jap.

Only little problems guys I know but I just love for everything in my baby to be in working order.

If any one can help with these problems it would be greatly appriciated. Thanx guys

Hey champ, there is an air con thread in the DIY section. In the thread it has how to access the diagnostic mode for the unit, by using it's own diagnostics more than likely it will show that a sensor is reading the wrong temp, which makes the unit thinks it's hot.

This obviously only applies if you have the climate control

As for the fuse box click. I'm pretty sure it's on there, or run a search on here.

Start with that and see how ya go

In my R33, the rear wiper gets it water from the main water under the bonnet. Yours would have to be the same, but i'd suggest that the line is blocked somewhere if the motor is working. When I removed the rear seat I could see that it ran along there. After that, I have no idea where it would go.

Try Checking the engine bay end first, then see if you can find a way to force water into the tube.

Come to think of it... I think my water reservoir bottle has two outputs and two motors to push water from it? Might want to check yours for that? (test that little motor)

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃

      Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.

      Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.

      Hopefully not, since he knows the fuses work ha ha ha
