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.

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
