Hi Guys

I have just purchased 1994 R33 Skyline. It has a problem with the heater. It is not blowing any hot air even with the climate adjusted to 32c !

I have been told that it may be the heater solinoid ? Can anybody help tell me where this is located and how to test it? I was thinking of trying to check a replacement climate control unit first. Any ideas on where to buy a replacement solinoid from?

Thanks for your help !

does the temp gauge on the dash sit about half way? if it doesn't then that won't be helping your heater temps as the coolant won't be that hot so won't be heating up the heater. if that is the case, start by replacing the thermostat.

also remember that the car has to be up to temp when the heater is on for any hot air to come out. if you are just hopping in in the morning and turning the heater on then the car will take longer to heat up and it will take longer for you to get warm air coming out the vents. you are actually better off driving for a few mins with the fan off and then once the car is nearly up to temp then turning on the heater.

also check that the coolant lines to the heater box haven't been removed. often they are removed if the heater box starts to leak. i have seen plenty of skylines like this.

otherwise search for the climate control diagnosis thread to see if it says how to check the solenoid.

Hi Mad082

Yep the car is warmed up when it try it. On numerous occasions i have tried it but without any luck..Yeah all coolant lines seem to be connected and box is there. I'll search for that thread and see if there is any info.

Thanks

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

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

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
