Hi guys,

I just realise that my R33 is leaking water through a pipe on the passenger side, just beside the engine.

I have some pics to show below. The arrows indicating the pipe is the one that is leaking. I think it is water that is leaking out, dont think it's oil or coolant. Also my wiper spray (dont know if it is what u called it), the one where u pull the wiper tube and water sprays out? Stop spraying water and I have no idea where to fill the water. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks!

Was your A/C running at the time of the observed water leak?

The washer reservoir should be in the front left (passenger) corner of the engine bay, the cap is right in front of the LH strut tower.

Yes I was on the aircon while driving, but only notice the leak after I stopped my car and switched the engine off. There is a big white box on the driver's side right behind the headlights, any idea what box is it? Plenty of water in it, dont know if it's the wiper water.

It was probably the water from the a/c (a/c removes moisture from the air and dumps it down the pipe you have indicated. if you get under the car, you should see it is open-ended.)

The container is probably the radiator overflow. The washer bottle might be partially hidden by the airbox.

So is it normal? Or do i need to replace the pipes? My air con blows only cold air at 18 degrees which is the lowest and at 19 degrees and above, it starts to blow HOT air. Could this be the cause of the water leakage? and according to the other thread, the problem was solved from a switch, but i have no idea where the switch is located. Can anyone post some pictures or something? Thanks alot mates!

water leak sounds normal. leave that

Hot/cold air - vent is behind the washer/wiper stalk - need to remove most of the dash facing to check it

washer bottles is a Large white bottle behiond the drivers headlight - hidden under the lip of teh guard next to that is the radiator over flow

if you still confused, post a bigger shot of your engine bay

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
