Ok, what is this?

IMG_0711.jpg

I pulled dash apart to swap my bose cd changer over after it failed as most do. somewhere along the line my air con got disrupted and now only blows hot air unless i switch it to manual mode and the face setting at 18degrees....

Only other things changed are z-tube / pop charger and plenum but they were not on before this started happening.

The only thing not plugged back in is this rubber band thing that i remember coming off under the glove box area off the dash... Any suggestions???

No responses... I fixed it and here is the solution in case anyone else needs help.

Under the steering wheel remove the screw near bonnet release. Pull kick board down and its a little plug that is causing all the issues!

That fixed it, these are not my pics by the way but docron1 from G35 forum ( must more info than here fyi) - cheers !

Now only to find out what the rubber band thing is for... Any clues?

I have had a pretty good look thru the workshop manual for the infiniti in the aircon system. Looks to be pretty much the same system and I cannot find anything in the blow-up diagrams that resembles this part

Only thing I can think of is that it is a low pressure seal of some sort for the aircon ducting

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
