By now we should have plenty of 32GTR's owner in Australia, just want to see if anyone having the same problem.

My climate control, every other setting is fine except for when i set it to FOOT only, it'll make this ticking noise, sounds like a fan blade get stuck somewhere and it keep trying to turn to the position so it kept going toc toc toc...

Anyone knows whats' the cause?

Thanks

Does it eventually settle down? My R33 makes a similar noise, but goes away after a few seconds.

The S14 manual had diagnositc instructions which told me lower lever am. Dunno if 32 are similar climate control.

Still, thought of taking dash apart to look has put me off investigating.

Common prob on R33's not sure about R32s.

Its an actuator/motor on top of the heater box. Little black box. You can get them from nissan for around $150-160. Involves taking whole dash out.

It opens/closes a vent that goes to/from face i think. So if you removed it it would probably get stuck on face or not on face.... can't remember exactly. Its only $150 for a new one to fix it, don't know why you wouldn't replace it if you were going to pull the dash out :D

my face vents still turn on and off and i have the click. I would imagine that it clicks because something is jammed, so if it was disconnected i cant imagine it making any difference to the current function of the system. I haven't actually been able to find what it actually actuates! might try and nut it out on FAST later... if i knew how to get to it I would have disconnected it ages ago.... and at least if you disconnect it, you can find out exactly what it affects before you decide to pull the dash out....

You've got to pull the dash out to disconnect it. I'm pretty sure it was the vent that goes to the center face that it opens/closes. I can't remember if it still opens/closes even when it clicks, i didn't take much notice in what didn't work i just couldn't stand the clicking and wanted to fix it so i put the new part in it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
