Hi guys,

My R33 GTST got a serious problem now. I went for a mechanic to repair my clutch last week. Until yesterday i noticed the temperature for the car shoot up to "H". Before that i only smell some radiator coolant coming out from the aircon vent and the front demister.

So surprised that when i open the radiator cap, the whole rediator dried up. After i did some investigate, notice that it's actually leak out from the plastic under the dash board.WTF.... Wat's the coolant doing under my dashboard...??? The coolant wet the whole carpet of the passenger side.

I am so blur now.. Cause i dunno wat actually happen... Someone mind to tell me why would this happen plz? It's because they break it when they fix the clutch??

Basically the heater works using a small radiator in the aircon unit under the dash, air gets pushed past it and heats up!!

i had mine do the same thing about year and a half ago --- still; not fixed as it takes alot of time to fix, have to remove the dash completely then remove the heater core and get that replaced/fixed!!! will be getting that done next week so i'll post here on how much to fix etc!!

heater should still work abit but not well, and would suggest either getting it fixed now or bypassing the heater inputs in firewall til you can get them fixed!!

or you'll keep that not so nice smell in your car, and run the risk of doing damage to engine due to over heating!!

weird shit happens when mechanics have your car. My car was the mechanics to get my exhaust rotated for my new dump pipe, then when i was driving home 1 of my stock at time cooler hosing came off. First time it has ever happened

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
