I have noticed this pool of brown clearish sticky liquid on the passenger floor under the dash and the carpet is soaked with it and the mat has a pool mark on it. i was thinking it has something to do with the air con or heater as it seems to be on the left side of my windsreen also... weird shit! and it also smells weird.

Can anyone help me? as im strapped for cash at the moment and wanna see if i can fix it myself.

ANYONE>>>???

My car is a 95 R33.

Cheers,

Kier

check something for me. It's brown is it? go and have a look at the coolant in your radiator and tell me what colour it is. Then get on the floor and have a look up into the dash where the heater core is and where it would leak from. see anything leaking?

lastly, are you using the plastic guard liners? water can come in if it's quite wet outside without those

Worst practical joke ever - I knew this drunk guy that thought it would be funny if he pissed in someone's car. I tell you, no one was laughing at all. that guy was dead big time. Do you have friends like that?

if its brown i'd say it was your heater core. if it smells a bit musty its definitely your heater core.

even if your coolant is green, even if its fluro pink for that matter, the heater core will still leak brown. they pick up so much crap in there its not funny.

Tone your language back, absolutely no need for it.

i was being serious, as you didnt mention the size of said "pool mark" it is hard to determine how much has leaked, what size it is etc.

the easiest way to resolve your situation with little or no money spent is to bypass the heater core with some copper tubing, the hoses are just behind the passenger side cam cover, join them together to remove the core from the system - although this stops your heater from working, atleast you wont run out of coolant and over heat the car. then fix it up as per the DIY thread in the DIY section for replacing the core.

Nice attitude - Warning issued.

Next time want help, loose the attitude and post without the excessive language and you might get somewhere.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
