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

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
