Hey my heater is not working but my aircon is so im guessing its my heater core thats the problem.

how do i go about getting a new one eg where from and what part number is it?. if someone has had this problem before please help. Cheers jack

Dash, etc has to be removed to get to the heater assembly and the core itself BUT before going to all the trouble you should check that coolant is flowing through the core (ie check whether it's blocked, which usually happens because the coolant hasn't been maintained correctly). To do that you need to disconnect the heater hoses at the firewall and then use a garden hose (preferably with some sort of pressure attachment) to check that water flows through the core - effectively you'll be flushing the core (Note: you'll have to refill and bleed the cooling system after doing this). If water flows freely, the core is not the problem. Of course, this all assumes the core isn't leaking, but if that were the case, you'd notice the loss of coolant plus there'd be a musty smell inside the car and the carpet would be wet (also, even if that were the case, the heater should still actually work....).

It's also possible the heater isn't working because one or more of the airflow control motors has failed (GTS4 has similar digital climate system to GTR, as I understand it). Youy should also error check the system......do a search, someone will have described how to do it previously.

Read this and do everything here before wasting your money on something that probably won't fix your problem: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...rk-t236745.html and the climate control self-diagnosis in more detail: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...old-t93814.html

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
