i bought an s13 digi climate control which had a loom modified to suit a31...

it works... however... not entirely

lights up... but temp control doesnt work

fan does... and everythingelse... just when i adjust the temp it doesnt go hot or cold... just stays cold

loom is dodgey

I've considered attempting this with either S13 or R32 digital units, but I just don't have the time at the moment, and a few other more important issues on my car have priority (suspension/brakes etc).

I'd be keen to see the article, even if just for the pinout diagrams

s13 is a lot closer match (in fact if you have the digital sub-loom, it looks like it'll plug in straight up)

r32 would be a lot of custom rewiring

Is the page blurry or is it the photo?

I can make out most of the writing, but 18, 19, 20 are a bit fuzzy, looks like CN2-13, CN2-8 and CN2-7 respectively. Please confirm?

The jap symbols next to 8 of the pins I'm assuming means not used (or nothing connected).

Though the symbols next to pin 1 I could hazard a guess it means something like wire to constant 12V or something.

Only other thing is you have to rewire a couple other points on the S13 to make it work, I'm could only assume something similar would have to happen in the cefiro.

daisu are you a wiring junky?

i have my loom here... as stated above i can adjust the fan control and it lights up and everything works... apart from aircon controls, alternating which type of setting the aircon is on (footwell, head, footwell/head/ etc) and the temp controls - dont work... obviously some wiring needs to be fixed

i could send it to you if you want to use it as something to work off and make a duplicate for yourself?

only condition is you fix mine so it works :D

Only problem with messing around trial and error with the digital units, is you can damage the circuitry, then you don't know if the wiring it incorrect or not. This happens on the S13s when people plug the digital unit into their unmodified analogue looms, it lights up, i'm not sure if you get fan control or not, but it also permanently damages one of the functions like fresh/recirc or something. I can't be stuffed looking at the S13 guide right now.

I think I'll try on my own loom first, then when I'm sure I know what I'm doing I'll let you know how to do it.

Either that or softy will do it :rofl:

Hi All, I have just purchased a Nissan Cefiro 92 and the auto climate control unit failed first day and is stuffed. Before getting online I found that my r32 digital climate control unit plugs in by two of the three Ceffy plugs, however as the cefiro has a third additional plug it obviously won’t work without mods.

I have read everything I can find however I am not getting much of an understanding as to what wires go where to convert the a31 auto climate to the r32 digital climate control unit.

Is there a post i have missed that outlines in English solder this colour wire to that spot???

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I got caught in the rain and the fan won’t go to demist mode + air con won’t turn on so it sucks.

daisu has repined and soldered his to work but he wont/cant post up the pin outs.... the japanese scans just confuse me every time i try to work it out >_<

ca s13 unit will work

So i thought all s13 have 2 plugs not the three like i have on mine? have i missed some thing are ca 3 plug ?

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
