You have a sensor thats usually located in the air ducts so the a/c doesn't freeze itself. Their is also a pressure switch out front near the radiator (looks like a cylinder with two wires going to it) But I havent pulled my line apart yet to find out. This is where a service manual would come in handy.

the sensor is displaying on the climate control (self diagnostic) that it is 5 degrees.. thus when i turn a/c on.... it turns itself off... cause it thinks it is 5 degrees.. obviously 2 cold for the a/c....

Sumo u mentioned it could be in the air ducts..... could this be possible?

Anyone else know the exact location of this sensor?

wados: it wouldn't be the sun sensor, that just gives a bit of an "adjuster" to the basic climate algorithm, based on the outside light levels

Refrigerant sensor will be down under the whole dash near the aircon box. There are a few sensors down there in the ductwork from what I remember (and if its similar setup to an R33). You will have to remove it to get to it (few hour job). Replacing the sensor itself should be an easy job, just unplug old, and in with new. Its just getting to it.

ahhh..here we go.. I think this looks like it.. Its going into the aircon box there so I assume that is what its doing!

Now that I think about it, it could also be that temp resistor that goes from the climate control to just behind your front dash. I know on the 33 at least, its attached to a small hose, that goes to a very small vent just near the steering wheel and below left of the speedo, etc. Not sure about the R32 though, I assume it would have a similar setup.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
