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.

G`day Scott,ANTI FOG made be RAIN X ,is a great Product so try see ifthat will sort your WORRIES OUT ,also what do you clear inside with look at what may as cause your worries,,GOOD LUCK,

cheer`s Chuckie.

cheers i knew about rain x just couldnt remeber the name of it lol and i dont use any products on the inside i only use a shamy and a clean lint free rag works a treat

do u wipe rain x on the inside of the glass or outside i know this may sound retarded LOL :)
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

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
