My climate buttons are on the piss as well. None of them light up at night, it has been like this since i bought it then somebody said the other night that the bulb might be blown (never really noticed). I would like to know what it looks like when the buttons are lit up. anyone got a photo? Is there a fuse to this bulb that i should look for first, or do i have to go straight for the bulb. What is involved in getting to it?

sorry for dragging up an old thread, i found this one thru the F.A.Q – Maintenance, Guides & Issues/Problems - Model Specific & General thread - Rather than making a new post and getting flamed. Its got some good info. Top work to redlinegtr for putting it together

i couldnt find any little bulbs in town so i got some LEDS and made them to work in the same spot!! LEDs are ment to last a bit longer than bulbs,so they will do!!

i dont think japs like to change them!! i didnt even know their was a light in the R32 window control switch!! and the hand brake light!!

1.sun load sensor is on the dash!!

2. room temp sensor in in that little slits near the gear boot

3. one near the radiator

4. on om the air con canistor, thing!!

i did the diog test on my aricon and the sun load and the canistor sensor were reading -1000 *C so its r00ted.

I have a theory - can anyone substantiate

Since an R33 GTR powerFC works on an R32GTR, wouldn't a R33 climate control unit work on the R32?

I would change over if I knew it worked, as they're MUCH better than the R32 units.

well seeing as my r32 one is sitting around right at the moment.. here is the rear.. from what I remember this is very similar to r33 plug wise.

Soon as somebody can post an r33 one we can verify that pretty quickly.

My display is a bit dodgy on my R32, it fades in and out (mostly out), but with a gentle tap on the bottom of the casing it will work for a little while. Since I installed my deck however, I cannot tap the bottom of it and therefore am without a display permanently. I tried to pulll it out today, but couldn't get the whole thing out, I unscrewed the 6 screws holding it in place, but couldn't actually get it out. I then proceeded to just remove the front of the unit until I reached the circuit board where I discovered that if I place pressure on the right (drivers) side of the display, it works. Unfortunately I can't get to the wiring behind it as I couldn't get the circuit board off even after undoing the 2 screws. So my question is how do you get the whole thing out? And how does the circuit board come off? Do I just need to pull harder or what?

Cheers for the help in advance.

Mine is dodgy too, and I have 2 of the things. The first one only seems to vent air to the front windscreen. The second has no display.. a tough choice :rofl:. Don't seem to have any lights on the buttons, any more info on how to change them to leds?

I changed my lights to leds.

Pull out those crappy lights that always blow.

I went out and bought wire wrap and some 805 SMD resistors and some 603 SMD leds.

Been working fine. I soldered the componetes and wired the wires in the light fittings.

I was thining of taking a few photo's on how to do it.

And than posting it up.

I dont think u need to go as small as I did with the smd (surface mount device) components.

If i do one of the light fittings again I'll take a photo off it.

My m8 needs his R31 lights converted the use the same housing in the light switches on dash sarounding cluster.

My climate control worx fine. I have heard that dry joints can develop on the display to the pcb. Well i have heard one instance of a guy who resolderd the display and he had no more problems with the unit.

Untill my own unit bigins to fail I wont know the exact answer.

But I have noticed every now and then when i turn my unit on it starts in diagnostic mode.

not often.. like once or twice.

What about lights at the wiper switch thing and hazard switch? Were there lights there at all cos' i'm having problems looking for them at night.

Also my climate control works fine except for sometimes if i have it on heat, i scroll it down to 18 and freaking heat still coming out of the vents till i have to turn the whole thing off and on and off again for several times then i'll behave. Never had any problem with my 33gts.

Also for mode funtion, if i put mode at FEET only all i hear is just the motor kept winding and sound like one of the blades got stuck at something so yeah...it just keep winding.

After owning 32GTR, i notice r33gtst climate has more funtion and works better as well. Is there a way that we can order a whole brand new unit at Nissan?

R32 fading display(pushing on back of climate control box helps)

I went through this problem.

When you take the climate control apart you will find two boards inside that slide out.

They are connected to each other by about 17 metal pins.

If your display is dodgy then look at the pins and you will notice that there is very small hairline cracks which need to be saudered.

Fix these cracks and your display will work great.

I am doing the same thing, however when I fitted the LEDs today, only two of the six illuminated.

When I connected 12V to one of the non-working LEDs, the circuit appeared completed and the same two lit up again? Any ideas on what I might have done wrong or should I pull the front off the climate control and check inside?

All LEDs were tested prior to purchase.

Any advice please SAUers?

Cheers

Yeh my buttons are shocking the only way i can change the temp is by pressing a specific button whilst pressing what i want to work. (so two buttons at one time) even then it only works sometimes.

I will pull it apart soon however i need to get the car running first, (probably a priority) think it's the head gasket.

cheers

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
