Hi guys,

I was parking by the roadside this evening and was just casually walking around my car when I noticed a small puddle of water forming on the floor. As the road was slightly sloping to one side, I realised the puddle was actually forming from underneath my car. I took a look underneath and discovered there was water dripping from underneath one of the pipes.

I took some photos and wondered if anyone here knows if I should be concerned with this leak. The pipe that I noticed was leaking is circled in red. The blue rectangle is where i took the close up shot from. This is from a R34 GT-T btw.

It seems this happened only when the engine was running, because I have left my car parked for about 2 hours now and it seems there is no more dripping of water the last i checked.

Was just wondering if I should bring it down to a workshop tomorrow to get it checked.

The water is cool when the engine was running, I've used a tissue to soak it up to make sure its water and not coolant.

I was thinking it might be the air con condensation too as but just wanted to make sure its not something else..

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
