Hey guyz,

i noticed that my climate control is behaving in a very "extreme" manner

when turned to 18degrees (the lowest) it becomes damn cold (@ 18 i presume) and when i increase the temp

to 19degrees it becomes damn hot...like it's at it's hottest...

an electrician told me that it could be my aircon server motor's fault and it requires 2hours of labour just to check it out ...anyone have any good recommendations on what to do?

sounds like your mechanic wants to drain your pocket..

In most cases it's your in cabin temperature sensor. Borrow someone's and see if that fixes the problem.

I too am having problems with my climate control, it read -30deg for the ambient temp, thinking it was the unit itself that was dodgy I swapped for a spare I had and still reading -30deg. I'm thinking this might explain why I can't get the aircon to work, it just blows really hot air all the time as it thinks it's 30 degrees below zero in the car..

So where is this in-cabin temperature sensor located?

Cheers.

I've had the same problem for ages, it will blow hot hot air at any temp setting. I just use the 'FC' function (hold down the cold button for 3 seconds at 18 degrees) on the aircon to get cold air when I need it..... stuff the climate control, I either want it hot, or cold, there is no inbetween :laugh:

If it starts to only blow hot air in any mode, then I'll have to do something about it.

to the right of the ashtray. a couple of little vent holes on the front of the panel and the sensor is mounted in behind.

Ohhh.. that thing I discovered when I put my stereo in that isn't connected.. I thought it may have been like a mic for an carphone system or something from japan.. pretty sure the wires have been chopped - guess I need to find a wiring diagram and start fishing around behind the dash :thumbsdow

i had the same issues. i just removed the faulty sensor (Left side of dash, under windscreen) and replaced it with a resistor that is the right impedence, to make the climate control think that the intake temp is 30deg.

So when you turn the climate control on it just cranks the aircon?

Are replacement sensors hard/expensive to get?

Got any specs on the various sensors? says all of mine are shagged :P

Sory for all the questions.. my mrs wants the aircon working :P

      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

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
