Hi Lads,

Cannot find answer after numerous searches. I live in a hot climate, and as a result the air-con sometimes takes a while to work. I set my unit to 20 degrees and only the foot vents work until the car cools down enough, then the top (dash) vents open. Must switch once the difference between the set value and the AMB value is small enough (maybe 8 or 9 degrees).

What really annoys me though, is that I cannot manually turn the top vents open until the cabin cools enough to automatically switch.

Is this normal? Can I override this?

Thanks, regards

The climate control has a feature that isn't documented in the R32 owner's manual.

With the fan on, temperature set at 18 (the lowest it will go), press and hold the temperature

down button for a couple of seconds. The climate control will show "FC", the air conditioning

will come on in re-circulated mode. This must be a fast cool, as it sets the optimum setting for

cooling the car quickly. The re-circulation mode can be turned off.

There is a "FH" mode also with the temperature set at 32 (the highest temperature). Press and

hold the temperature up button to enter the FH (fast heat?) mode.

Lads - thanks for the comments.

I know about the mode button - it switches to manual but still does not change vents.

I know and use the FC mode quite regularly - we must have downloaded the same skyline 'book!'

I ran a diagnostic check a few weeks ago, and it came up with a sunload error (common, ignored) and a water termerature sensor error. I do not think this has anything to do with the vents, though, as the AC is bloody cold when its working.

It just takes a little time to switch vents over, depending on the inside car temp.

Thanks for the comments lads.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
