Hi,

Ive got an R32 gtst, and my climate control is ALWAYS blowing hot air. Ive removed all the air conditioning components during an engine conversion, so im just after a fix so that the climate control will blow ambient air. Its also worth mentioning that my ambient temp displays -30 degrees.

Im just about to go through the diagnostic test (found in the tutorial section by TO4GTR), and im almost certain that the sensor at the front of the car is to blame.

My question is: Where is the sensor at the front located? Ive done alot of work at the front of the car, and there are several plugs disconnected, so i dont know what im looking for. Pictures would be a massive help if anyone could take the time.

Im sure the sensor in the stereo surround is ok. Where are the other two sensors located?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Shaun.

this is the front AC temp sensor. if you have a front mount it would have been moved. i remember from when i put a front mount in my 32 that sensor what in the way. i cant remember exactly which side but from memory i think it was close to the bonnet latch.

i'm not to sure about the other sensors. i know one is in the cabin next to the ash tray, and i think the other is in the a/c lines somewhere.

I just had a look, and i definately dont have one of those sensors at the front of my car.

From memory, i think the sensor may have been on the bonnet latch support, but its been a long time. I not only have a front mount, but ive put twin thermos in front of the radiator, removed all air conditioning components, and have an aftermarket bonnet and latch support, so its been lost during those mods.

Does anyone have a pic of an r32 gtst external air temp sensor in the factory spot?

Also, if anyone has a spare sensor, im happy to buy it off you. Ill have to find one from somewhere, as i cant hack the hot air blowing all the time.

Thanks again,

Shaun.

I just looked in FAST and its supposed to be mounted up under the front bumper by the looks. Kind of up under the top of the main center intake duct. The FAST pic doesnt detail it too well so theres not much point in me uploading the pic. Have a look around that area and see what you can see.

...i cant hack the hot air blowing all the time.

As a temp fix, could you look up the output type of the sensor, and chuck a resistor on the pins, to simulate 210C maybe kinda?

EDIT: Checking the curve on the sensor, 210C looks to be about 2.65k Ohms.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
