I've got the R33 GTS25 n/a, and we're in the winter seasons down here, and recently i drove over a puddle of water, only to find out that the boot section under the carpet leaks water from underneath the car i think. This is at the very far left and right corners of the boot under the deck. I think it is leaking from the holes that the black rubber cap is in. Anyone had this problem before and nows how to fix it, cause the last thing i'd do it put silicone around the gaps.

Check this area right after you ran over a puddle see if it leaks water in.

Cheers :rant:

It seems unusual for water to travel in an upward direction...

take the rubber seal off the boot, and give the rubber a good clean, check that there is no rust (unlikely, but the car may have been smashed and repaired)

then clean the area that the seal sits on, then put the seal back.

Also check around the tail lights.

I find it unlikely that the water is coming "up" from the bottom... it's more likey that it's coming in from above and settling in the areas you mentioned.

Thanx. But thats wat i thought at first, water coming in from above, but given that the hole is directly above the wheel arc water would probably circulate with the direction os the wheel and ended up into that hole. Miight gonna have to jack the car up and see from underneath. :rant:

Any other ideas is appreciated.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
