hi guys,

my climate control module in my r32gtr adjusts from 18deg to 32deg however on 18deg it is cold...as soon as i go above this temperature (i.e. 19deg +) it is hot.

i cant seem to get a warm setting - could it be a fuse or maybe there is a control valve under the dash which needs attention?

this is just on a fan setting without the use of air con as my condensor & radiator fan for the a/c has been removed.

thanks,

Hrmm, I think my car's acting like this as well. I'll try and suss it out tomorrow and report back. When it's on 21 degrees, it's really burning up inside the car. It could be that my valve is stuck on the hot setting though, haven't actually checked yet.

I'll let you know what happens.

I have the same problem. will be watching this thread with interest..

-D

Sorry, I can't help with any news today guys. I don't actually drive my car so can't take it out for a spin to warm the engine up. I've got to wait for one of my parents to give it a drive (P plater and turbo = fines and loss of points). I'll check out what's going on when my mum gets home from work in it.

wat happens wen u turn it to 20? or 25? does it get even hotter?

as soon as i go above 18deg (i.e. 24deg) it feels like it gets warmer but then it gets really hot after 30sec or so...i then try back it off and its still madness hot!

i keep dropping the temp down towards 18deg & it stays really hot - as soon as i get to 18deg it will then stay just as hot - it takes a good 5min for it to come back to cold on 18deg.

how does the temperature adjuster work? if its like my other cars it will have a tap which adjusts how much water comes thru the radiator under the dash, is this is the case i'd think this is playing up, could be dirty or getting stuck...can anyone confirmation the location of this tap if this is the case?

I hopefully have an answer for you.

My R34 has a small grill on the dash below and to the left of the steering wheel.

Behind it is some sort of temperature sensor.

When i changed my LED lights i forgot to plug this back in, and presto my climate control would be freezing cold to hot in .5 of a degree on the digital cluster.

Plugged this sensor back in and all returned to normal.

So no doubt your 32 has a similar unit, and it may have stuffed up/broken/not be plugged in and be causing it to act like my climate control did?

i also have a grill which sits on the centre console - are you referring to the grill which has a black hose that plugs in the grill & its about 1cm in diameter???

i also installed led lights in my dash so yes i will definitely check this out later today...i think by memory next to this grill there is also an electrical plug hmmmm

hi guys,

here's an update...i ran thru the entire diagnostics section as per the gtr manual (steps 1-6) & everything comes up fine!

i did notice in step 2 that the number to appear if normal should be '20' & mine displayed '25' (keeping in mind that i performed this test at night in my garage)

it also states though if car is positioned in dark area or exceptionally strong sunlight that the 'sunload sensor' error may appear which is number '25' (this is the result i got) so other than that it seems ok...what else could this be if the diagnostics came up 100% good???

Mine does the same.

Where is the sunload sensor??

Apparently there is also a sensor in front of the radiator.

Shaun.

im not sure myself - there is a pic in the manual but it is poor quality - my guess is that the sunload sensor is the round thing on top of the dash on the left side...

can anyone confirm the location of the sunload sensore?

My air con does the same thing (cold when on 18, hot on everything else). It also pumps hot air out the dash vents where it use to only heat from foot wells and cool through dash vents.

Now this could be related or coincidental but mine faulted as soon as I put in my power fc....haven't put the stock ecu back in to prove that this is the case. But im sure if this was an issue everyone with a pfc would have made comment.

Diagnostics also come back with all sensors working correctly. (return air hose is definitely also attached to the dash)

Cheers

Camden

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
