Does anyone have a photo of the fan resistor? As my aircon turns on but doesn't blow air out of the vents... From what I can gather from reading this it must be fan resistor

You could check:

- interior fan blower brushes coz they may have worn out (this blower is what drives the air through the vents - underneath dash passenger side - more than likely the culprit as it was for me as determined by the auto eleccy. Maybe when AC is on, tap the blower (usually a black unit above the passenger legs under dash) and see if it suddenly kicks in.

- check if front cooling fan in front of radiator is switching on - check relay wiring. Just good to check. Check voltage to front fan switch

- check if pipes have a bubble - maybe a leak and low gas pressure?? I am guessing here but good to check anyway.

Mind you I have a GTST not GTR so don't know if the same setup or not.

Check out this awesome thread on the interior fan/blower on passenger side I mentioned:

I wish I had searched here but wanted to fix my problem that day and then so I didn't check.

Bump, my 32 takes forever to switch between positions..sometimes it will just go back and forth, or twitch the arm.

I've just pulled apart the module and there's white stuff inside? Like mayo?? Is this normal?

Edit: it actually seems like it can switch between positions, but the feet one likes to open as it pleases... I played around with the fan controls whilst I had it apart and I couldn't match up any button that made it spasm.

The cogs inside the module seem to not be lining up, easiest just to buy another one? Anyone know where to get them new?

Edited by Walfers

White grease on the cogs is normal, I had the same thing when I opened up the temperature control motor. I haven't taken apart the vent mode motor so I'm not sure about how the cogs line up, but you can get a new motor through Kudos Motorsports.

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!

Did your plug look like this?

Plenty of R32 GTST's have a problem where the climate control only blows hot air or cold air.

Even whilst cycling through the temperatures, the air doesnt seem to change.

First step is to check if everything is fine with your climate control;

Follow the below steps, if everything is fine, your problem might be the connection to the blend-door servo motor (read further below)

diag1nb5.th.jpgdiag2dh6.th.jpgdiag3td0.th.jpgdiag4va8.th.jpgdiag5gn1.th.jpg

The r32 has a common problem of the Blend Door Servo Motor to stop working. This is due to the connection to the motor becoming damaged over time.

Solution;

- Go to the passenger foot well area.

- look up where the feet air vent is.

- There you should see a metal rod and a plastic clip.

If the rod has fallen off, clip it back into position.

- Cycle through the hot/cold temp buttons on the climate control quicky and check if you can see the metal rod moving. This rod controls the blend door.

- If the rod doesnt move, then the blend door servo motor is the fault.

- Just before the metal rod, is a wire loom connected to a socket

- Wiggle the wire loom whilst pressing the temp up/down buttons. The Blend door motor will then respond and move.

- I used some cable ties to create some pressure on the loom.

This is just a temp fix, and will not last forever..

Best would be to replace the blend door servo motor and/or harness.

If anyone has replaced their blend door servo motor, please post in regards to how difficult it was.

Hope this has helped some r32 owners with their climate control problems ;)

Cheers

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
