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. :)

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
