You can do a diagnostic on the climate control, it will tell you if the sensors are stuffed. Turn the ignition on, hold the off button for five secs or so until the screen comes on, then press the temp increase button and it will flash a code. I cant remember what is what but im sure its been posted here before.

yeah its not good idea to be driving with no gas in the air con over works the motor big time and your prob dose sound like lack of gas , off the topic question what bov did you end up getting with your car man ?

i got a 32 gts-t i dont know if its the same as GTR but i had the same problem and i thought the same..needs re gas but i went to get it done and the guy said it was fine. Found out it was to do with the pump. It wasn't starting when i turned the air con on. So i had a sparky wire me in a overide swith to power the pump and what happens is i turn the air con like normal...wait a minute and if it doesn't come out cold turn it off..flick the switch on then turn the air con back on and Bobs your grandma...it works :cheers:

just thought i let you know incase you go to re gas it and it already gased

how do i know if there is no gas in the car or not and where i did the test it came as no. 20 what does this mean and i got the hks type 1 bov but it dosnt make no noise very disspoint it at having atom. bov and no sound

they dont work sell them to me.... :wassup: if you get hot air when you put air con on it means that it needs a re gas.

Hiroshima Screamer - If there is no gas in the system you cannot damage the aircon compressor as there is a low pressure switch which will stop the compresser from cutting in.

KBNR32 & junkie13 - Have a mate turn your aircon on while you are looking at the front of the aircon compressor, if its working then you will hear a "click" and see the front clutch engage, the revs should also pick up approx 200 rpm. If the clutch doesn't engage then you have:-

i) a stuffed compressor

ii) no gas in the system and therefor the low pressure switch is not allowing the compressor to kick in.

To check if there is a problem in the ecu run a live 12V connection direct to the compressor's input and see if the clutch engages.

Hope this helps as I have been there myself.

i was made to understand by not having the air con working properly and using it could cause the motor to work overtime thuss engine temp will go up ? This would be a result of only having the engine fan cooling the motor as aposed to having both fans working as a cooling system.When there is no gas in the system the sensor automatcially cuts out the fan meaning the engine has to count on the one fan to do the whole job.Not pretending to be an expert just sharing what i was told when i was encountering similar probs.

  • 2 weeks later...

any of u guys know where the refridgerant temp sensor is.... i have found out through diagnostics that this is causing my a/c probs... it is telling the computer it is 2 cold... thus everytime u turn the a/c on... it turns itself off again..

Plz help.. so i can get this fixed asap..

Thnaks

by the way anyone know what re-gasses cost? its like $90 isnt it? im pretty sure thats why mine blows hot air, but with autumn and winter around the corner im not really worried, P.S does aircon cause ur car to eat more petrol? i thought it was cause u had to drive it a bit harder because the aircon takes away soem power, am i wrong?

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
