Hi all,

Bit of a problem i'm having at the moment with my R33 GTST. Climate control is pumping hot air in, irrespective of what the display says (18 - 32degrees). Run a diagnostics and comes up with no error codes at all. I have done a search and come up with it may be the blend door but i have no idea where this is. I have no liquid in my foot wells or anything like that so i don't think it's a blocked heater core?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Will either be the heater box under the dash, blend door as you said, or the unit itself. The first step would be to swap the unit itself with a mate as thats the easiest job of the lot and will either fix or eliminate that possibility!

hmm....thanks for the replies. Reluctant to think it's the air con gas as in the mornings, before the car has had a chance to get hot, if i turn the a/c on, it's bloody cold so i think that's working and has gas. This just seems to be hot air constantly streaming in, even when off. The only way i stop my cabin getting hot is to turn it off but leave the recirc button on. Which is why i was thinking it was the blend door.

boj01: when you say, "unit itself", could you please carify to what you mean?

Check the outside temp sender. On my 32 a wire had come off. same symptoms as you, fixed with electrical tape.

My R33 GTS25t had similar symptoms recently, after some warranty work - which involved removing the front dash panel. Auto electrician did not reconnect the ambient cabin temperature sensor (wire + tube, I understand). This is located just to the left of the steering column - behind the panel.

It would only pump hot air (which is a system default arrangement), except @ the minimum temp setting - 18degrees I think - where it was possible to get cold air.

Dealer whipped off the panel, reconnected the sensor/s, and all was back to normal. He knew what he was doing, and only took 5 mins. Would have taken me yoncks.

Try to check whether your sensor lead/s have become disconnected, before doing anything more drastic.

good luck :D

Fixed!

It was my blend door. The little lever than actuates the door wasn't attached to the door itself leaving it on full heat the whole time. Simply put that back on and viola! All good :)

Thanks everyone for their help. :)

Congrats! Well done! All very satisfying when you find and fix problem yourself, without any big bucks.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
