Just wondering if anyone else out there has had water in the boot of their R33 coupe???

I've had it in mine, and after a few weeks of sealing all the known/visible holes, it was still getting water inside.

Then today found out it was coming through the welded on piece of steel on the inside of the boot, above the passenger side taillight. I couldn't get the taillight out to fix it totally due to all the black silicone stuff holding it in. So all i've done is seal up all the steel joins in the boot. Hopefully this works.

ps. anyone else's r33 turbo go past the 180 speedo, with a standard ecu and no speed cut ???

bah. standard speed cut happens more toward the 190'ish anyway...i mean. urr.. so I've been told :D

As for the water, yep.. had the same thing too... also, the spare tyre forms condensate on cold nights with the rubber and stuff... that's my theory anyway, as there is definitely no leaks in my boot...

dam boats love the water!

dunno about the cut wire....went to 190 then had to back off *shrugs*

i had my spare condensate as well. Always thought it was the heat from the exhaust (no heat shielding). The rubber gromets don't leak either.

Well i keep checking the boot, and no water.

So that's the leak (the passenger side taillight).

Patch it up, let the silicone dry, then all is good.

Now wait till it rusts a hole through...hehe

Anyone taken out the taillights??? I took the nuts off, and then tried to get the light out, but it felt like it really didn't want to move. What's the business with it ???

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
