anyone with digital climate swap?

[RBpoweredSileighty]

just like the title says anyone swapped there manual climate to digital?

i would like to see install pics and if anyone whos swapped how hard was it (hooking it up)

thanx in advance.

[Andrew300zx]

I have the digital unit for sale if you dont already have it. Never tried installing- sorry I cant help there

[RBpoweredSileighty]

how long ago did you get it? i saw one on ebay 3 days ago for $40.00 i went to the store, came back like 20 min later it was sold!

you got any pics of the one your selling? and how much?

[Andrew300zx]

I was actually thinking 40 for it- looks like you are close enough that it wouldnt need to be shipped.Negotiated for it to be thrown in when I had the swap done, but not going to get around to using it.Sorry, dont have any pics of it.Lemme know, you can reach me at [email protected] if you are interested.

[RBpoweredSileighty]

that sounds good, ill hit you up on your e-mail.

[RBpoweredSileighty]

you got mail..

[RBpoweredSileighty]

so no one on here has this installed?

[mkory]

I'm interested to hear about this one too. From what I understand, all you have to do is splice the wires, but I'm probably wrong. Someone has to have done this.

[RBpoweredSileighty]

thats what im sayin to my self.

im buying the modual from Andrew with in a couple days, so we'll see there after what all is invloved.

btw i usually take pics of everything i do so ill write up a how to if all goes well.

[mkory]

Sounds good man, just keep me posted on how it goes. Best of luck and hope it all works out easy.

[RBpoweredSileighty]

thanx, i know how to wire stuff up and trouble shoot, but everything has its challenges. i will keep you posted.

[RBpoweredSileighty]

i just got my digital hvac from Andrew300zx, thanx bro.

btw i luv you motor!!

[RBpoweredSileighty]

i cleaned up the digital control, now im going to go install it and ill take a couple pics..

[Andrew300zx]

steve- hope that works out for you- cant wait too see it functioningyou were able to get pics up less than an hour after I dropped that off! you may be becoming a NICO addictluck with the swap- should turn out great for you

yup after you took off i went to work on it, couldnt just let it sit there!

yea this forum is pretty cool, learning alot from the RB sections and finding any links that will help me.

after taking that ride with you, it is makin me want to get the RB20DET even quicker, that was pretty quick on stock boost!

thanx for selling the digital to me ill put it to good use.

i went ahead and mounted the unit. i saw how i need to add a control for the flap valve to open and close off the heater box, after you seeing my truck im sure you know i can fab something up. heres 2 pics of it in the car.. kinda bright but you can get the idea.

i was looking into doing the digital swap but i couldnt find any info on how to wire it up, thats the only thing stopping me... iff you find any info or links on how to do it, just post them up here....thanks

[twofourzeroSX]

what does the digital controls come out of. that looks clean. i want it!

i will do the best i can to post pics and what ever. i havent found any links with a "how to" from what i know the 2 main plugs connect to the digital, then there are a few plugs for power and some grounds along with a sun sensor.

thanx it came out of a 92 s13 from what im aware of.

Good luck with the climate control swap and definitely keep the community posted. I must admit however, that I read on zilvia.net somewhere that a number of people have tried to get it to work but I don't think anyone has succeeded yet. Apparently it's quite a bit more involved than just hooking up the harnesses and splicing a few wires. If I recall (and don't quote me on this) there's an issue with the USDM ECU that spoils the swap. I'll try and dig around a bit and let you know.

Keep at it though!-kouki

would that matter when i swap in the RB20DET and use its computer? thanx for the heads up, and if you do, yes that would be cool if you let me know.

I found an old thread here on NICO

http://nicoclub.com/zerothread...ntrol

Looks like there is a lot more to it than just a couple wires and such.

good luck!!!

thanx for the link, do you know what year 240 he has? from what i can tell i think he has a s14 with a s13 digital climate... thats why he needed all those sensors right?

[kouki-gymkhana]

No, it looks like it's an s13. If you look at picture #3 on the imagestation link, you can clearly see the rear window defroster button in the upper left of the pic. I'm pretty sure that the button is located elsewhere on the s14 and that button looks JUST LIKE the one in my s13 fastback. As for the sensors, it looks like YOU WILL have to find those because our USDM cars never had an automatic climate control system and therefore were never equipped with those sensors.

Don't get discouraged though. Keep looking for parts and when you get things sorted out, you should definitely do another write up with lots of pics for the rest of the NICO community!

[RBpoweredSileighty]

ok well isnt the automatic climate there incase i want it to run by its self? i prolly wouldnt want that say if im driving the car hard. really i would just use the heat functions because i am not going to run a/c and i have already figured out how to go about running the cable to open and close the flap valve for the heater box.

but trust me im not getting discouraged, i like ripping things apart and seeing how they all work then gettin them back together and functioning the way they should.
