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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
