I realise this has been done before but having disappeared down the rabbit hole I am thoroughly confused.

Most of the old SAU threads have busted photo bucket photos or confuse the mode door (ie where the air goes to) with the mix door (Which controls how hot it is). I have a shiney new mode door actuator (Part #27731-53E00 I believe, photo attached) off ebay in Japan for a half reasonable price.  The mix door is possibly discontinued? (Part number 2773201U00).  Also drawing 27733NA is used for Im not quite sure what but matches other cars.

Can someone please confirm the part number is correct for an R32 GTR, are there other models with the same part and/or where I may be able to find a used one that I can fix?  (Part number 2773201U00) 

Sorry for the dumb questions but someone out there may have done this lately.  I just dont want to tear the console apart only to do half the job.

Well, I can confirm they are the part numbers for my 32 gtr's vin as well.

Mix door actuator - 27732-01U00

Mode door actuator - 27731-53E00

My understanding (of the impossible FAST diagram section 270) is that part code 27733N is just the actuator, while 27733NA is the actuator, bracket and wiring.

Also, I have a heater box on the shelf and can take some pics if you need. No part number on either actuator to confirm physically though.

Are you just trying to replace both as preventative, or is there a problem you are trying to fix?

Hi

I have removed most of the interior recently and will be replacing both sides including motors. I was able to buy almost all of the parts new but had to source from a few different suppliers.

Assuming that you are wanting to buy the "mix" door motor AKA "blend" door motor which is the one that jams and pumps hot air into the cabin, then I *think* that the part that you are after is 27742-77S60:

I can take pics of the parts that I have purchased recently later in the week. i think that I bought the above from RHDJapan

The mode door is stuffed as I usually get stuck with air on the windscreen.

The mix door is the same as no amount of fiddling gets the temperature to change.

So its half preventative (On the assumption its not the head unit) and half a fix.  I get sick of it not working properly and just want it fixed.

Rob, If you could confirm that as I cant find a mix door on RHD Japan that would help a heap.

With these things it's possible to dismantle, clean and lube and they work again.

That is sort of plan B, notwithstanding I tend to fk things rather than fix them.

The mode door was $120 and thats brand new so if the mix door could be had for anywhere near the same I would be well happy with that.

Sorry, it was actually JustJap but I checked and they don't have it advertised any longer.

Picking up on what  @GTSBoy suggested, another thing you may wish to try is one of the common problems that causes the blend door motor to stop functioning, is poor wiring contact. There is a temporary workaround that involves jamming cardboard behind the plug to keep it in place. There are quite a few posts on SAU about it. Not elegant but it may be worth trying until you can find a replacement or just to isolate the fault.

Well that's that idea pharked then.

Regarding your order 93813;
Unfortunately the Nissan OEM part ordered has now been discontinued and the manufacturers are unable to supply us. Apologies for the inconveniences.

Inconveniences. So many inconveniences.

Had a spare (dead) mode door actuator.  Pulled it apart (the hard bit there are the 5 clips you have to release) and had a look.  Basically one of the plastic gears (the one in red) had near on seized on the shaft.  Removed the gear (and the one next to it) Gave the seized one a ream and some lube and will see if it can be bought back from the dead.  Hoping the blend door is much the same.

Spent the morning pulling the mix door actuator out and replacing the mode door. Prick of a job. Mix door appear to have a couple dry joints in it but by god they are tiny. Will resolder and hope like hell it works again.

Some more, minor progress.  On the mode door the shaft that locates the worm wheel (the driven gear, not the drive gear) is basically 3.5mm.  The next size up drill bit from that was 9/64" but that went straight through the gear.  Anyway went to a 5/32" (Which is a bees dick down from 4mm) and drilled the wheel out.  Remounted it and the gears now turn.  So without knowing how it affects the longevity of the thing I reckon this may be the way to fix your R32 mode door actuator. Hash tag fixie fixie something hashtag.

As for the mix door there looks to be a couple (Atleast) dry joints.  The mix door doesn't appear to have the same material for the worm wheel either so guessing it is just solder that is the issue.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
