Hey guys, im having trouble with the climate controll on my r34, even when its turned off and the fan isnt on, there seems to be alot of heat coming through around my feet mainly. Is there a common fault like the heater tap staying open just slightly????

Also if its set to 18' and no AC on it seems to have ambient temp air coming through but if its set on 19 degrees and up it seems to be on full and it defaults to the maximum fan speed. no matter what the ambient temp is the fan speed allways goes to full.

its driving me completely insane, and in summer god knows how hott in the car it will be.

is there any air speeed sensors or temp sensors that are knowen to fall out or fail?????

did i mention its running lpg injection which is great but i dont beleive it is causing the problems because the water in and out for the gas converter is b4 the heater tap............ too my knoledge that is

secondly.

i have a switch to the right of the steering wheel, it has a pic of a big fan and a little fan and you can toggle between the 2. it looks to be an oem, but has no wires going in to the back of it.

it could be one of the motors that run of the climate control has craped itself and is stuck in the hot position, my 33 did the same thing and i had to get a new motor to close the hot water tap. Just a though. Try and turn the car on listern for a noise when you change from hot to cold and see if it makes a strange sound or not and see if the heater tap in the engine bay changes position. Best of luck and remember to put up your response when you get it fixed.

Not sure if this will work for you...I had similar issues with mine last year..One day while doing an oil change I noticed just behind the front bar, there was a plug that was unattached, I found where it was supposed to go and plugged it back on...eversince, my climate control has been working fine. Go have a look and see if you can find the plug in the attached pic...if its unplugged, plug it back in...

hey, i'll have a look at that sensor 1st thing in the morning, i was playing with the car tonight.

if i set the climate control to manual all fan speeds work and zones. if i set it for 18 degress ambient air blows out. if i set it for 18.5 upwards red hot air flows out. i tryed listening for the motor or taps. were are they exactly??? are the taps in behind the dash or the engine bay????

AFTER 6 WEEKS OF DRVING AROUND WITH THE HEATER ON I FINALY FOUND THE PROBLEM............. just above your left leg is a tiny little vent were the air con sucks a tiny amount of air though. well theres a small temp sensor sposed to be wired in behind it. the wires were hanging off mine. 2 sec job to reattach and the climate control worked perfect again.

yay for me lol

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
