Hey all, my r33 gtst has hot air coming out at the feet constently thru the air vent. I also have a ticking sound that goes for about 5 seconds then stops from somewhere inside or near the aircon/heater in the dash when i change the positions on the climate control. My a/c dont work cos the belt broke a while ago so i cant use that to even it out, and i think it may need a new comp. It comes out pretty warm to, i can put up with it in the mornings a 5am going to work but not on the way home, i must have the windows down to let cool air in. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it. The ticking sound sounds like its plastic like the old days when you would put the plastic on ya spokes of ya rim to make the sound oon ya bike. Ive been told it could be solinoid but its not that type of ticking.

Please help me someone or give me advice anything will do at the moment

the ticking noise is the adjustment cog in the aircon,when you change the vent settings it moves to change the flaps and what happends is some of the teeth get striped off the wheel over time and then it just skips around in the same spot until it realises its not getting anywhere then stopes.

have ether of you had your dash out latly? there is a tube that goes to a small vent in the dash that has a small sensor it it,it uses this to work out how hot or cold it is in the cabin and then regulates the temp.if this is not connected it just defaults to max settings so you will only ether get full hot or full cold no matter how much you muck around with the temperature settings.

the hot air comes out from the feet always. press the button on your dash that looks like an arrow and your hot air will stop coming in... as for the clicking the cog inside the dash that adjusts it all has worn out and slips making a clicking noise.

Yeah ive had the dash out before but didnt notice it till a bit after i had done it, i might rip it out and have a look if the sensor is connected properly. The teeth slipping sounds about it, bugger it, how do i fix that, where is the best place to take the car to get that fixed up even, any1 know?

I get the air at my feet all the time too in my R33, It's always what ever temp I had it set on when the Climate control was on, so I was was running it on 18 with AC it would come out cold when I turn the climate control off, if I had it on heat 32, it would be hot when I turn it off.

I get the clicking noise to when I turn on the ignition and when I change the blower positions on the Climate control, fcking annoying lol

Take it to an auto electrician to have a look,

From what i understand of the stripped cog scenario, it is possible to just replace that part but the cost is up there, whereas replacing the whole thing is up there too either way the whole dash has to come out just to get to it.

mine hasnt f**ked up yet... knock on wood. the part itsself costs nothing its the labour to get to it and replace it. if youve removed the dash before its something you can do. as i said with the hot air coming from your feet thats normal. just set it to recirculate air and it will shut the vents.

Yeah ive had the dash out but damn wasnt it a pain in the arse, i ended up cracking the bloody thing an i look at it every time i jump in for a drive, its a small crack but i know its there! It must be a skyline thing, i may have a go at giving it a fix myself before summer comes round and also gotta get the a/c fixed by then. Why would they be made for hot air to constantly come out, it seems bloody strange to me

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
