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!

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
