Ive had this problem ever since i bought my r32 gtst 2.5 years ago. When i fill up the water reservoir for the window squirter's and use the rear window squirter or the front windscreen squirter, the rear squirter wont stop leaking water until the water reservoir is completely empty. Doesnt matter which one i use, but only the single rear squirter just keeps leaking water, but if i dont use the squirters after refilling the reservoir, the water will stay in the reservoir. How could i go fixing this?

thanks

have you tried unplugging the washer motor while it is happening? Sounds almost like it is staying on slightly after activating one or the other.

I would have a bit of play while it is happening. Unplug the motors on the washer bottle. After they are electrically disconnected, if they still leak, squeeze the line to stop flow and then after a few seconds release it again and see if the water flows again

then report back

Your washer bottle is mounted lower than your rear window squirter so it can't drain unless you are parked on a hill. So it has to be as 89CAL said, the motor is not turning off or something.

You could also try pulling out the fuse for the washer motor and seeing if that stops it happening, same as unplugging but easier to get to. Just check what else that fuse does.......you may not be able to if it is also the fuse for other functions {I can't remember atm].

I hate things on my car that don't work. No matter how stupid lol

Theres not an awful lot that can be wrong with the washer circuit, and it should be fairly easy to isolate where the problem is

my rear window squirter would squirt when I would hammer down on the skinny pedal. It's like the sloshing would have enough force to squirt out of the nozzle. I just unplugged the line to the actual squirter and stuffed a bolt into the line. Was tired of having a money shot across my rear window all the time. I removed the wiper so I couldn't wipe it off while driving. Eventually I'll just remove the whole system and plug the holes in the glass.

its possible that they run a spring loaded check valve to stop water coming out unless there is say 2psi in the line. But I didn't think they ran one. Might have a quick look

Edit: Did a search in FAST and R33's do have a check valve for the rear wiper

R32's do also, P/N - 28938-05J00, $12.33 from Amayama

Should be just before the rear washer jet if you trace the line back

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
