Noticed that some of the earlier R32 have a slightly different climate control setup, with the sliders for the temp, rather than the digital display.

Can you simply swap the control panel over from a later model ?

Thinking back to my 33, there wasn't much too the whole system other than the box and i think the rest was controlled by the ECU... so can't see how it would be a too difficult swap.

ok, I took out my digital climate control on the weekend and at the back of it has too sockety thingys which you plug like a wiring loom type thing into it. Each have about 20 or so wires running into it. If the back of your climate control has this then it should be a straight swap. If you can take some pics of the rear of the climate control I'll be able to tell you if it can work or not.

thanx.. Sounds very similar to the r33 setup. The question is whether the same plugs are in the back of the older ones. Unfortunately have to wait until my car actually gets to Australia to find this out.

Much of those wires actually go to the relays for the heater/climate control box behind the whole dash.

Just wondering when it gets here whether i can swap it over. Might be nice, otherwise guess it doesn't really matter.

Will be back on this in a couple of months :)

my mate has a 89 R32 4 door GTE with the pov climate control, and I have the 93 GTR/GTSt spec one, and next weekish we'll be seeing if they are compatible... stay tuned for pics/guides

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
