Foznice, the same thing happens in my r32.

If I have everything off hot air will blow down onto my foot (accelerating pedal).... the air is hot to the point it almost burns my foot on long drives. If I turn the fan on it will blow the hot air through all the vents. I can't make the hot air stop no matter what I press.

If I turn my aircon on, it doesn't change, still blows hot air.... the only way I can get my aircon to work is if I keep my finger on the BLUE temp button to get it into Fast Cool mode.... then it blows nice cool air :P

Has anyone solved this problem???

Fixxxer :(

you can stop the hot air coming through when everythings turned off, by pressing the recirculate button.. seems to stop outside air (thats running over the engine) coming into the cabin.. It's a temporary fix but it should help until you can find the real problem.............

have all of you reconnected your reciever dryers? even if they're not gased it might help to plug them in as it's part of the system.

I regassed mine yesterday, it's not blowing air nearly as cold as it should be. I think this is partially because of the heater/airconditioner actutor.. it dosn't seem to be connected to anything (noticed when I took out the dash) and theres nothing I can do controlwise to make it move.. anyone else have this problem???

Hey Rylan

My R32 has been gassed twice in twelve months and it still blows warm air. Learned that a few days ago whilst driving up the freeway during the second hottest day on record :nyaanyaa::blink::huh:

Annnnyway, mine is terrible. I haven't looked at the actuator and until I saw this thread (re: thermisters) I thought I just had an aircon leak.

If (when!) I sort it, I'll post here.

Mark

thanks mark. I noticed something new.. I can get it to blow cold air.. by setting it to 18 degrees but when I give it some stick something opens up and I get the hottest air ever (and I found this out on a very hot day too :(:rofl: )..

I also noticed that if I put the climate control into 'full cold' mode it will blow the coldest air it can (not very cold, as I think I haven't put enough gas in) regardless of how much I give it.... just something to think about...

Mark, usually if the gasing has been done properly they put some dye in the system so that leaks can be found, the dye shows up under a certain type of light.. the guy that gased your aircon will probably have one.

Also, before it gets gased they usually hold the system under vaccum for about 5 or 10mins to see if there are any leaks... If this procedure was done, major leaks would have been found.... minor leaks might not show up though...

hi,

Im getting error 27-refigant temp sensor on my 32, will this affect operation. Also, the 3rd temp is about 4 all the time, should i just get a 2k resistor and whack in here, or, is there someplace i can get the real deal to fix it properally.

For the refigant temp, would i loose my gas replacing this one?

  • 2 months later...

Ok, I've done the whole diag check- got the 25 error code (sun sensor, I was under cover), and my temps were :

24.5

27.5

30.0

26.0

However, I continually blow one of the AC fuses (#8 in pic below) when I turn on the AC.

R32-Int-fuse-blk.jpg

The other AC fuse (#17) is fine, but I've replaced #8 fuse 4 times now testing- it only goes when I switch on the AC.

Needless to say I'm not getting any cold air, just ambient temp air blowing really hard..... :(

Any ideas??

thanks.

hmmm well I'll soon have a bit more time on my hands, So I've come back to this thread to finish my aircon saga....

I went to regas the AC a couple of months back, and it seems that it does have enough refigerant in the system, and the compressor appears to be working fine............ So my 'hot air' problem is from something along the electrics line...

So I did the test just before..

I again got the 25 error code - it's all good

and the negative 26... or "-26"... I believe this is the PBR from looking at the Dave's original post and the "sky is the limit" book which has a reference on the climate control diagnositcs...

Perhaps the negative is just supposed to be a dash?

I also noticed that I get the error code '34' when doing the actuator testing eg - the motor for the feet is having a bit of trouble... which would explaina the SQEAK SQUEAKKKK SQUEAKYYY sound that is always made whenever the mode of the climate control has changed... Might have a look at this too.

PBR by the way is apparently the hot cold engine/ambient air flap thingy.. Which completely explains why there's hot air come through all the time. Does anyone know if this 'flap' is vaccum operated or electrically operated? Because as previously mentioned, when I give it a bit of stick from first or second, I hear a little pop or thud, and then hot air comes flodding in... My mental picuture was that the little pop/thud is the flap opening. So perhaps if the flap was vaccum operated, and there were leaks in the pipe or something, maybe it could be effected from the engine boosting???

Maybe it's just the acceleration of the car that's throwing the flap open - I've acutally seen the flap so I have no idea if this is possible or not...

But yeah these are my thoughts... I will be taking apart the dash next week to get to the bottom of all this, I'll try and include some photo's too.

From the small amount of research that i have done on my aircon problem i think i have found why it is continually blowing the fuse, like daveharvey.ca.

Someone said that the magnetic clutch in the aircon compressor is drawing too much current and is shorting the fuse many people have had sucess with getting it respun, there are a few threads on here about it.

If anyone finds any other way of fixing this please let me know.

Thanks

I attempted this test just then in my r33 and it will give me the inside and outside temps, but it wont go further to give me:

air intake > (before evaporator temp)

refrigant temp.>( evaporator temp)

When my aircon engages it draws wayyyy to much power from the engine and makes a kinda cough sound. Ive been in my mates r33 with the aircon on and you cant even tell its on....

  • 2 months later...

My air con doesnt blow COLD and the heater only blows slightly WARM.

I enter the test mode and get 25 (In my shed at night)

Flashes 3 for a few seconds then 30. (Whats this 30?)

Outside 35.5 , This is too high?? Same as when I press the AMB button i get 35.5 (Its definately under 20 outside)

Inside 18,

air intake 17

refrigant temp 15.5

Any ideas? The only problem I can see is that 35 degrees outside is totaly wrong?

I would have thought that the Aircon Would probably more seeing as though it thinks its so hot outside?

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
