Hi guys, my car has no receiver dryer and no ac fan, and constantly pumps unstoppable hot air through the vents. I'm really not mechanically minded so could someone explain to me wtf is going on and how i can get it fixed cause i have no idea where to start.

have u checked that the switch for where the air comes from is not set onto outside air..U know the switch where u can change it from outside air to recirculating air already inside the cabin..

if u have it to outside air no matter if the a/c is off air will still come thru

vinnie is right, turn it on, and press recirculate so that the green (?) light comes on. let it change over to recirculate and turn it off. then never touch it again lol

yeah tried that, does nothing.

If the interior air sensor is disconnected you will only get hot air so my guess is that it will be either faulty or disconnected. If you find its connected try running the climate control diagnostic to see if its faulty. Common thing to find with your symptoms. The sensor is located on the center console facia behind where there is a small vent in it. Pull it off and you will see what i mean. If you need pics, i can arrange them.

i have same problem but i have aircon. I cant get it to recirculating. Would it be either the switch or the motor that powers the flap? If so, how hard is it to get to the motor?

Thanks

Sounds like one of your motors are dead. Either the motor which controls the hot/cold air or the face/feet/etc direction motor or both!

Try the diagnostic first to see what it tells you. The motors are located behind the dash and it requires you to take everything out to replace them.

Hi.

What Deren is referring to is the sensor which is behind the 4 slits located beside the ash tray. To check the sensor is connected remove the ash tray look and you will see the sensor on the right hand side. Locate the wires coming from it and if it is not connected fish around and find the other connector- you cannot go wrong as all the connectors only fit one thing. Hopefully this should fix the problem. If you have any work done to your car recently ie clutch or new stereo equipment it is usually the cause as professinals?? who do the work like to remove the surround which goes around the centre dash equipment and neglect to connect this or the cigarette lighter wires. Hope this helps.

There is another sensor located in the engine compartment on the firewall behind the engine although is not normally a problem unless you have been playing around in that area.

man, this thread has reminded me how hot R32 GT-Rs are when the weather is warm.

even with the vent set to recirc, the heat that comes through the firewall and floorpan when you drive it for a while is annoying

you could always try the simplest solution and see if all the vacuum lines are connected at the back of the climate control panel - don't laugh, I had the exact symptoms you described - checked everything they pulled the stero out again and found i'd knocked the lines off. 5 minute job and problem solved. i had added a new head unit.

My 32 GTR was the same - constantly blowing hot air, even with it set to recirculation... this thread helped me fix mine - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...old-t93814.html :D

R32's dont use vacuum to control vents etc. Its all electronic with motors doing the work. Sounds like its actually quite easy to see the connecter as our12 described. Check that out. Good chance its the cause. If not its a good place to start anyway. Process of elimination.

Deren

behind the stereo surround/console theres a plastic line it hink its for the climate control.

i left mine off by accident once and it kept blowing hot air in, connected it back up and air was normal :P

yes there is the intake temp hose behind the dash just to the right of the air con panel,if that falls off or if you have pulled the dash out it blows just hot air

    • (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)    
    • This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.
    • I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system
    • I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.
    • As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
