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..

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
