i am guessing u are ment to blead it with the heater on so water goes into the heater core?

thanks in advance any one can confirm this and i go bleed it again

could be an issue with the heater core or the tap.

also remember that the heater won't put out hot air unless the car is fully up to temp, and if you put the heater on before the car is up to temp the car will take longer to come up to temp.

yeah.. normally the issue is "heater tap leaking, fan always blows hot air"

they can be blocked but doesnt happen often.. give the hoses a squeese and see if they feel clogged or anything

ooh, i have that. whenever the climate control is above the minimum temp (18oC) it blasts out hot air. is that easy to fix? (did a quick search in general maintenance but couldn't find much useful)

haha good find then hey?

off the top of my head there can be an issue with the r32 ambient air sensor (located under CD player) that makes it think the car is freezing cold

so maybe search that?

otherwise you might have to replace your heater.. :S i would just cut the heater lines and join them together

when you say that the car doesn't normally run very hot unless giving it a hard time, do you mean that the temp gauge shows it sitting lower than half way for normal driving? if yes then your thermostat is stuffed and needs replacing. the temp gauge should sit at about half way during normal driving, and should only take a few mins of driving to get there from a cold start.

    • 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.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
