I sent the my R32 in after a little ding to get a full respray.

I got the car back and the A/C wasn't working.

They stuffed the regas and had too much water in the system.

At this point the Climate control was working perfectly.

I dropped the car back in for 3 weeks which they resprayed the whole car again due to massive paint runs, the paint being too dry and horrid orange peel.

I've got the car back today and everything is fine A/C is working again BUT The climate control is doing strange things.

Before: Hitting the A/C or ECON button would change the air to the vents and ramp up the fan speed, while engaging the A/C.

After: Hitting the A/C or ECON button now sends air to the feet and won't ramp up the fan or turn the a/c on. The air stays at amb temp.

Pressing the Fan button to turn the system in to manual mode will ramp up the speed but the air will still stay at amb with no a/c clicking in.

The only way to get the A/C to cut in is by holding down the Cool button which then turns it to FC mode.

Before: Hitting the Demister button would change the air direction to the windows, turn on the A/C and ramp up the fan speed.

After: Hitting the demister button will change the air direction, turn on the A/C but it won't ramp up the fan speed. Then after around 30secs the air will go slightly warm.

Any idea's any one?

If its not one thing its always another. frown.gif

I've done a few things at once.

Checked the external air temp sensor.. It appeared not to be plugged in properly.

Checked the sun load sensor. It appeard to have a bit of crap on it.

It seems to be working fine now so thank goodness for that. :)

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
