Where to start?
So I've spent all day inside of my car pulling my hair out, this fucking car hates me. It truly does. I have quadriple checked my wiring on this digital climate control. I still get errors 31,32,33,34,35 in mode 3 of the diagnostic. Which means the MODE DOOR motor is fucked up.
I went through the fsm and did all of the test's with a multimeter, EVERYTHING checks out. Even when I do the fucking test the motor drives the vents to full lock on each direction.
But I still get a fucking error.

I've had something similar to this happen to another car, for the life of me I couldn't figure it out. It's 12:52am, it's hot as fuck and in front of me is this little bastard.
This is the air mix door motor, I think me manually moving the gate caused this bugger to skip a gear, if not break some gears. I just manually twisted this thing and got it to pop a few times, ran the diagnostic again and only get error 31, and 32.
So I am fairly certain if I just take this thing apart, and try to put it back together the way it was originally shipped.
(the gears normally have arrows to guide you, kind of like timing marks. Or they should!!!)
So yeah, tearing that apart.
And from my previous work last week... This line I had mentioned in a video update had went bad on me.
yeah...
that's what I think about it, granted it's my fault. AN lines are supposed to be somewhat indestructible. So, yeah my bad, you live and you learn.
And I have learned that I hate working around the back of this engine while my sr20det is sitting on solid engine mounts.
So we got this s14 upper water neck to replace the s13 upper water neck, now we can run our water line to the turbo straight to the front of the block. Easy troubleshooting, easy installation.
thank you herb (takamotorsports) and frsport for these parts. You guys always have what I need in stock or readily available asap.
So now that we have that water line running to the front, what are we going to do about the water line stuff on the rear of the engine?
Oh you know, grab a bolt, some nissan gasket seal, some clamps, and some vacuum hose that was the same diameter of the water line. Run the gasket seal down the threads of the bolt, shove it in the hose, clamp, then slide it on and clamp the opposite side.
This will be a band aid solution until I re-do the water lines running to my firewall.
and seriously, this is just godamned ridiculous. Lets see if I have something I can chop up to use instead of this monstrosity.
Perfect, that will work.
So I've been looking for a downpipe/cat solution for my car because this overboosting stuff is not cool with the downpipe that I have. So I was pretty set on just some janky downpipe and a replacement cat. I really wanted that sard torque thing, but I don't think it's purpose is to filter exhaust fumes.
So yeah, I need a cat.
If you remember, this is my previous cat. =(
So I ordered a new 3in cat from phase2motortrend.com, would've ordered it from frsport, but they have "call" instead of "buy" on their website for that product. No mames!
oh yeah while typing this entry I was also somewhat hard at work, found out why I get a mode door error now.
Opened up the motor for the MODE DOOR. To put this in perspective for a lot of you who will probably think I am insane for opening this thing up. Think of it as those rc cars that cost a lot of money people tend to build. These motors and components are no different than shit you can pick up at your local hobby shop.
So trudging forward.
So everything looks in order... No broken teeth on the gears.
Lets take it apart piece by piece. RUH ROH!!! That last gear came out pretty damn easy, now it's obvious why.
yeah... it's going to be a looooooooooooooooooooooooong night.
I really wish this was a 40oz, It would at least make me feel better for re-pinning that plug almost 15 times today and checking it 20 times, and even getting new 9v batteries for my multimeter just to make sure I was getting the most accurate readings possible and not losing my mind.
Anyway... I guess if anyone can hook it up with that motor if you're not using your heater box stuff or know someone who knows someone.
holla at cha boi!
