Ya I actually unbolted it from the other end in my frustration. Which was fine.. until the gear slipped while I was resoldering. Now i'm mucking around trying to get the position correct again. I'd definitely recommend lock the gear in place before you do anything :cool:.

Just another FYI. There is a plug in the centre console opposite the cigarette lighter. If that is unplugged the climate control will stay on hot.

Thanks heaps Sarumatix!

Turned out to be the plug in the center console giving me constant heat. I pulled my whole dash apart to fix the heater core and this is the one plug I forgot to plug back in. One side of the plug is attached to the same loom as the cigarette lighter. It has two wires, brown and green I think. Check this plug if you have been messing around with your dash. I'm so happy to get this fixed!

my climate control will only blow hot or warm air. i then unplugged the cabin temp sensor and now it only blows ambient/outside air,

anyway here is what i got from the diagnosis mode can anyone help?

-26 = blend door fault.

and my sensors

22.5

22.5

32

-30

checked the blend door and it wasnt moving with temperature settings so i unplugged it and cleaned the plug and refitted it and now the blend door actuator is working. so i think i just need a/c gas.

it actually ended up being my intake temperature sensor and not the refrigerant sensor, so i need to put a 5ohm resistor across the plug behind the glove box right?

now my condensor fan never turns on so i decided to bridge the a/c relay and when i did i heard a clunk and the fan still stayed off. i was happy when i heard the clunk as something is engaging, so does anybody know what the clunk is and how to get the condensor fan working?

So hopefully someone can help me out here.

Months ago i managed to wiggle the plug and get servo door to move to HOT. Now I've gone though and reflowed the solder (2 were cracked), which I figured would solve the problem. However I ran the diagnostics test and get faults 21,22,23,24,25,26,27 (every sensor), then get 30 indicating that the actuator is working, even though its still not moving when i cycle between hot and cold.
Any suggestions?

I'm reading about a/c for about a hour now.. no one mentionned my problem ;

Fan will only blow air at fan 4. nothing at 1,2,3. Have a clue what this could be?

fan resistor - replace it.

try another controller. that would be a start. I do not see everything failing on that car.

hi, new to the skyline world with a 32 gtst, my aircon is not working, it has gas, the system seems fine, it just doesnt blow cold, then i tested to see if it would blow hot air, it doesnt, so it only blows normal outside air,

is there a way to open the system to only blow the cold ac air? or do i need to strip it down and resolder the switch, i looked to check the rod and it doesnt move

  • 2 weeks later...

very helpful info thanks for the write up. I'm currently looking for another r32 GTR and out of ten cars ive test driven only two have working air conditioning. (ie blows cold air and work through all the different cycle's, operating modes and correct temperature. Just as a FYI i got a quote to convert R12 system to R134a for an R32 GTR. Looking between $1000-1500 for drive in drive out with a brand new 134 suitable compressor, lines, new seals labour etc

Hi guys,

I just had my a/c regassed with r134a on my r32GTR and it works very well. The mechanic questioned why the a/c does not run when the a/c is turned on...we tested the relay and that is fine and checked all the fuses. Apparently it's quite dangerous to run the a/c without the fan as the pressure can build high enough to explode.

My question is what triggers the electric fan, is it the a/c or the engine when it gets too hot?

See post 47/49..

Educate mechanic. As long as the engine is running the engine fan will be pulling more than enough air past the aircon section. If the engine isn't running you don't need to worry about the aircon..

Thanks and funnily enough I did the diode mod as mentioned in the above posts on my previous gtr...I'm losing my mind :)

then the mechanic is a dipshit, it can be modded to come on with ac, and that will improve ac performance expecially at idle conditions, However it will not explode, there is a high pressure cut out switch (normally part of the low pressure cut switch to) and if he gassed up a car that doesnt have one, then hes not doing his job properly as its part of the code of practice for automotive ac, and guess what the high pressure cut out switch does long before the presssures get high enough to burst a hose.....it turns off the ac

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
