hi guys my floor under the drivers side is getting wet im just wondering what firewall grommets could lead to the drivers foot well so i can check them

its only happening on the drivers side so therefore it cant be the heater core

anyone know other areas where water can leak in from the out side and end up on the drivers side foot wells??

ive also had a look at those funny green seals below/ under the scuttle tray and theyre in place.

need help as carpet is starting to really smell :(

cheers.

Normally when people fit alarms, boost gauges or boost controllers they cut the grommets that seal the firewall. Check behind the drivers wheel.

Is it near the steering shaft? I'm thinking of doing an installation under the bonnet but cant figure out where to lead the wires inside.

Best place is to remove either of the front wheels then the inner gaurd, carefully cut a slit in the grommet just big enough to feed the wiring or hose through, once u have finished put a bit of silicone or sealant

Another place that you might want to check is if there are any of the rubber seal that goes around the driver door.

Might not be it, but I had the same problem with my gf's car (Barina) and it ended up being the seal that goes around the door wasn't sealed up properly on the bottom, as it was involved in a minor accident before she bought the car.

This. When I bought my car the grommet wasn't even put back on properly and the wires fed around it, had to fix that as I had puddles in heavy rain, now the wires go through and it's dry all the time.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
