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.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
