Hi all i got my r32 gtr and it is near impossible to keep the front windscreen fog free. The demister works quiet well but the fogging is on the outside of the window and i do beleive it is the heat of the motor fogging up the screen is there a way to adjust the bonet to help reduce this or a automotive product to stop this. It is quiet annoying.

RAIN X only on OUTSIDE ,ANTI FOG for INSIDE ,so good luck cheer`s Chuckie.

is it only fogging up if you have the demister on? if so, it may be that the aircon is the cause of the issue. if i drive for too long with the demister on on a cool night it actually starts to ice up the windscreen. solution is to turn the heater on and defrost it.

How would heat from the engine cause water vapour to condense on the windscreen? Surely it would help the condensed water to evaporate.

Keep the glass clean, then the water vapour has nothing to condense around.

on reason why it could be the heat from the engine is if the engine has a coolant leak and the heat is causing the coolant to boil and the resulting steam is fogging up wht windscreen. in which case, you might want to check the coolant level before you drive the car next to make sure that isn't happening

in some cases the heater-core (that has coolant running through it) (located behind the dash) can have a slow leak which puts too much moisture in the cabin

is there any other stuff in the cabin that would add moisture?

p.s. my car fogs up heaps, even this morning.. and i dont have any aircon

Edited by gfunkk

did it fog up the inside or outside?

also not having aircon can make the inside fog up in the wet, etc, especially if you have just had to run through rain to get into the car. the aircon pumps out dry air and so the moisture gets dispersed a bit as it mixes with the dry air. no aircon just pumps around moist air so the moisture just builds up

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
