Hi guys, I have a click-click-click noise coming from the vents in the middle of the dash whenever I switch aircon modes... it seems to be struggling to move the vent baffles around inside the aircon unit.

if I set it to split the air feet and top vents it settles down, but any other setting and every time you restart the car it clicks away for about 20 secs... anyone had a similiar problem?

I have the dash off for a stereo install, but I cant see anything wrong (dont know what to look for to be honest)... suggestions?

Thanks

Conrad

HI ya mate! how many times I told this to people!

I fixed and it's not pretty! it took me 7 hours taking whole dash a part and lucky that I had the part I need from wrecked GTR

the part will cost you at least couple of hundred from japan, so I hear...

I'll give you hands if you still wanna fix it...

it's the airvent acurator it's black box size of your hands that controls automatic aircon wind directions..etc..etc.

it's pain in the ass to fix it! but it can be done!

cheers

Thanks for the info Joe. While i got you, do you know anywheree/anyone I can get a set of good condition speaker grilles for the rear parcel shelf? Just replaced the speakers and the grilles are stuffed (they were smashed when they fitted the child restraint crapola for compliance).

Thanks

Conrad

well once you complied when you dont need child restrain.. unles you got a kid.

uumm... I dotn think so you can try wanted section here but I doubt that... they are so fragile and easy to break. just get new speaker system! or try the car audio shops they might have spares from old skylines :cool:

cheers

Joe

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
