Hi guys, I guess this is a common problems which u guys have seen and experienced.

I only have hot air coming out from the front of my windscreens when I switch my a/c on. I did some research and found out that I have received the following fault codes from the a/c diagnostics. Code 21( outside air sensor), code 25 (sunload sensor) and code -26(PBR short circuit) that's what I took off the manual. If you have a negative on your code, it means you have a short circuit.

I tried playing around with the actuator underneath the driver side compartment. Removed the actuator and cleaned all the gears. Ending up breaking one of the stems which the gears sit on. So got to get another one I guess.

So the big question is, where can I get the sensors n the god damn actuator that I broke??? Location for the sensors with pictures would truly be mighty helpful!!!

PITA - good luck (I'll keep an eye on this thread)

There is an R32 AC thread already in the forums but from memory it's not going to help with all 3 issues.

Sunload sensor only works when your in the sun

Outside air sensor I believe is near the horns and you should be able to get 2nd hand as a lot of guys remove all the AC components

Actuator stem/gear same as above (2nd hand)

Sorry cant be more helpful. Others may

The sun load sensor is on top of the dash board on the left. It will report a fault if you have done the test in the shade.

The outside air temperature sensor is just behind the grill if I remember correctly. Disconnect it & measure its resistance. Should be a couple thousand ohms and decrease as it gets hotter.

Fix that and then worry about the pbr thing.

Mostly the door actuator sticks in place and just getting it to move is enough of a fix without replacing it.

Thanks guys. Will try to source the replacements of the sensors and I guess I have to get another actuator cos I broke the stem where the gears sit in and don't want further problems. I have manually moved the actuator so that I have my vents open now. So I do get the air from the blower. Well will try and get back to you guys.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
