Hey I got a puzzeling question..

I took my bros r33 for a spin the other day .. and as i went around around a corner with a bit of speed, water came out of somewhere and poured onto my left foot..

closer inspection showed it was possibly coming from a pipe angeling at your feet..

anyone know whats goin on here?

This is probably the same thing that we have with our pintara (r31 he he he)...

Aircon - Leaves (or whatever) get stuck in there, blocking flow of air i think and water condenses and comes out when you go around a corner (depending on the setup of the car). In our car, it's on the passenger side and will pour out when taking a right turn (so that the force acting on the water is to the left). Flush the leaves out :D

I'll have the exact reasons tomorrow when my dads back... unless someone else knows.

You've been driving through a river?? :thumbsup:

Common problem in the skylines.. Anyhow, this is the solution. In the FAQ section there is a full guide to fixing the problem and photos, etc. Its a roughly 5 hour job to fix, and yep, it does need to be fixed.

The alternative is to bypass your heater completely via just plumbing it back into itself in the engine bay and skipping replacing the core for the time being. I wrote how to do that somewhere else too...

25GTT - not necessarily. Mine was a bit intermitent, then started getting worse and worse till it was doing it all the time. Of course the less you use your heater system (and in the R32/R33 skylines its kind of a balance between the heater and aircon at any one point for any degree you dial in) the less likely you're going to get the problem. Just keep a very close eye on your coolant levels, especially on hot days. Never know, always possible that some gunk has jammed in the hole, preventing it leaking :D

Mindflux -

Well it took the bloke i went too 10 mins to fix. Everytime i turned sharply on the righthand side my left shoe was covered in water :thumbsup:, was quite funny actually untill my old man drove my car and said it was a condensor or something arather pipe that has come out. It isn't a big deal but it does get very annoying.

I have an R33 GTR and you also have the same model so i doubt the air con pipes would be different or anything..

Good luck shouldn't cost you much anyway..

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
