Hey guys I have searched a bit but can't find a definitive answer on what I might need to replace. My 32's heater works quite well and a/c works when it wants to but a major problem I have is the air only blows to the face vents and not feet or demister, this is pretty annoying when its foggy!! Can anyone advise what I need to replace/fix and what it might look like? I've checked out under the dash but not really sure what's going on :s

cheers

hya mate iv got the same problem in ma 180. found out whats causing it and the motor that switches between vents is nakerd so iv just manually put mine to demist. if you cant find the motor then stick ya hand behind where ya stereo and shit is and there should be a couple of metal rods that go towards the motor (there only thin) and follow them down from and it should lead ya to the motor

also should add when I turn the car on and drive it automatically blows ambient temp air through the vents and i always have to press the recirculate button on climate control to stop is this normal?

Quite normal I believe

Oh damn my temp setting used to reset (and clock too) until I replaced a blown fuse. It now remembers temp setting but recirc needs to be turned on every time I start the car. Does anyone have a pic of the heater box I think its called? I'm kinda sure this is what needs to be replaced, is this the unit that moves the air from feet/face/etc?

stick your head under the drivers side (down in the foot well, then look up and left when your head is down there behind the sereo) and get someone/or yourself to cycle through the modes (ie. face, face feet, windscreen etc etc) you'll notice a white arm moving or not moving. this is what makes the air change direction. if its not moving, you might find that the plastic teeth on one of the plastic cogs has warn out, try sourcing one from a wreckers, or speak to nissan again (even by taking the piece into nissan spares so you can show them exactly what you want)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
