This will solve the problem,

I didnt get around ot buying this part as i solved the dripping issue as stated but it does give u a unwanted water spray at the same time lol

To solve your dripping problems....simply add a T-piece at a high point close to the bottle. The one i used had adjustable jets in the connectors ( from a fish tank kit ) Slightly open up the jet at the top of the T piece ( so the inline pressure won't drop) and run the water line into the top of your water spray bottle,this way you won't have any more drips emptying the bottle overnite. :blink:

hey has ne1 got ne pics of the actual setup, as i have bought a kit..it comes with a bag for the water with a 12v pump attached to it, a pair of nozzles, a long tube, a switch n a few screws n wat looks like a few brackets :S any help would b reli awesome. thanks in advance

Wher edid u ge tthe kits? its pretty straigh forward, post a pic of what ya got and ill try and help ya out.

Does any one know which wire to cut to stop the rear wiper coming on when it's hooked up to the rear washer? Or have you guys all just disconnected the rear wiper?

Just go into the boost and unclip the wring plug into the wiper. I didn ttake much notice and unpluged only one plug at the rear wiper. turns out it disabled the wiper wiping every time i sprayed but if i needed to i turn the nob forward and the wiper still wipes when i want it!!!

Hay guys, just a heads up. I am in the process, propably still 4 months away, in designing and manufacturing and kit for IC spray for R33. These will include a new washerbottle to replace the existing. It will have two seperate reservours, one for normal windscreen spray, and one for IC spray. It will come with pump, electronics, hoses, and all fittings. It will also include a spray bar or a nozzle spray arrangment, depending on what is ordered.

The kist should sell for about $250-$300, but still sometime away. I have to do a lot of testing in regards to spray patterns and final cooling temerature to come up with optimal cooling for minimal watter consumption, and being a mech engineer helps. LOL.

The kits will be available for stock and aftermarket coolers. Hardest part is comming up with instructions, beleve me, you forget how much detail is required.

The kits will be made available for an R33 to start with, and all the testing will be performed on my car and a dyno to archive optimal results. Once complete, i will be looking for some testers, say 5 or so, to test the prodcust, free of charge, and if happy, they can purchase the kit or return it as required.

After the R33 kit is finalised, the R32 and R43 will follow.

So keep an eye out.

We are looking at using the Jaycar kits already modified to suit. However there are some other kits available that will do a simmilar job.

We are looking at temperature and load controll, so as the load increases, in accordance to injector duty and airflow, the cooler will operate outomatically, also, if the inlet air temperature is too high, it will operate. There will be also a manual vertion for those who simply want on/off operation, but that is some time off yet.

what i did mate, is i had the stock fuel pump lying around, so i stuck it into the water resorviour for the window wipers, fit in perfectly. the used a hose off that and fitted some misters. the stock r33 pump works a treat. but the whole bottle is emptied in 1.33sec :blush:.

i did that because i didnt want to stick in another bottle:S and i can still use my window squirters :nyaanyaa:

just another way to avoid those drips,

I put a T-peice in the IC sprayer line (up high)and ran the extra side to a small sprayer at the top of the radiator.The top inch of the bottle may still drip. but it cools the radiator and IC

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
