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..

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
