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

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
