I got my ac recharged last week and then yesterday I changed out the evap temperature sensor that behind the glove box. Now I get ice cold air conditioning. But sometimes while driving it’ll switch to hot air even though it says the ac is still on. And then go back to cold. Also, the fan would go from full blast to very minimal and then back to full blast again. 
 

attached is a video with it working properly after I put the new sensor In.

No, the actual question is what is actually wrong. Then you can worry about whether you can fix it. Then you worry about how to fix it.

Unfortunately that means going back to the mechanic as I am the newb of the newb with electronics.

Have a read of this thread. Runs through diagnostic on climate control. Try that, might show you a fault.

Oddly enough I’ve done this before. Doing it again just now I got different readings. First diagnostic showed two different numbers. Turned key off. Then did diagnostics again and got a different set of numbers. Attached below is the videos.

Check those sensors are all plugged in correctly the inside air one is where the little slits are behind the dash cover make sure that's seated correctly too.

The outside one is completely missing. Almost like someone ripped it. 

It most certainty would affect it. All the sensors work together, if you set your temperature to 20 in the cabin and it's 40 outside that needs to work to regulate how much the compressor has to kick on/off, if it has to blend any warmer air or colder dependant on outside temp etc.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
