Hey guys,

As some of you may have read I purchased my second skyline last week which was a 1992 R32. The car is fantastic but I have two small gremlins that I was wondering if you guys could shed some light on for me:

1) The car is the skyline red moron colour- I need a small amount of touch up paint and the tag in the engine bay with the colour code is so faded I can't read it- Does anyone know the colour code for this paint????

2) The other most annoying thing is the heat factor! My climate control seems to pump out 32 degree head around my feet even when the climate control is off or at 18 degrees. Luckily it's been bloody cold the last few days so I haven't minded too much however it will be annoying to say the least when the mercury rises again!

3) Also chasing a good place to do front mount piping in the North side of the city.

Look forward to catching up with you all at the next cruise and if you can help me kill these gremlins in the R32 I will love you all forever- (in a non-sexual way)

I''m not sure?? All my AC setup looks fine but doesn't work. The other thing it does is heat up the area around the head unit and clutch which can't be doing the wiring any favours as it gets so hot!!

I might take it to a friend of mine that is a automative engineer to see what he thinks.. Will post it here if I find the solution.

Robin- The windows down option is all good unless your sitting in traffic!

At the moment I have an R32-Sauna Spec!!!

tried switching it from outside rotating air to inside?? when u have it so it vents from outside which in a 32 it is by default, u have to switch it to inside circulation to stop air from outside coming in...

if ur aircon doesnt work and doesnt ge cold go get it regassed... remember they degas them when they come into the country.

no worries... i remember i had a similar issue when i got mine... wouldnt drop at all... try FC which is when u turn it on and adjust the temp hold the - button til its on the lowest and then keep holding it... FC should show up on the little screen thing... leave it on like that for 5 mins and see if anything changes...

also check the hose running from the little vent down near the gearstick on the right top part near the ash tray... you actually have to take off the gear surround to get to it. Sometimes when stereos are installed and taken out they crimp this and this help monitor the temp in the car.

almost forgot... u should be able to check if the gas is actually there by checking that metal tube with the square metal section with a glass window... if u have the AC on and u check that glass window you should see shit in there flowing through.

from memory its in the front of the radiator behid the bar

tell us your vin number and the fast software will spit out the color code

The other most annoying thing is the heat factor!  My climate control seems to pump out 32 degree head around my feet even when the climate control is off or at 18 degrees.  Luckily it's been bloody cold the last few days so I haven't minded too much however it will be annoying to say the least when the mercury rises again!

hmm....what degree does the climate control shown when you turn it off?? coz if you set it at for example 32 degree and you turn it off...then the heat will still come out....that's what happened to my s14a

thats why i said u have to set it to recirculate air rather than pull air from outside which pushes the air through the vents when moving.

I had a similar prob with the air always being hot when I got my car. It ended up being a little motor or something under the dash near the top of your left foot. It wasn't working properly and the flap that makes the air hold or cold wasn't shutting. It was always as hot as it would go. Sorry I can't be too specific, but the dealer I bought it from had it fixed before I picked the car up, so I didn't have to fix it myself.

Hope this helps!

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
