haha, it may be too. Though i've had it off the boot and there was noise sound of water splashing around in there. The stock GTR wings are fairly hefty too. regardless of their water content!! :D

  I will throw a spanner in the compliance / boat water theory.

Mine's an Aus delivered and it has water in the boot spoiler too... go figure.

i'd say it still came on a boat from japan and would have been sprayed at customs for bugs/diseases etc etc

i cant imagine any other way!

theres way to much water for it to come from condensation!

I've emptied mine post it landing, and its filling up again... so there is nothing special about the trip from Japan. I imagine its got something to do with the bonded nature of the spoiler and rain + washing.

This has been an interesting thread, the first time in SAU's history I have head of it and all of a sudden heaps of people mention the problem!

reni, how about editing the title so the thread says what it is actually about, and people can find it when browsing and searching :P

I just got my r32 GTR friday arvo from the docks in freo.. I had water in my tail lights on the right side (turns out a bit of rust perhaps where it wasn't painted up right or something, and the sticky black stuff wasn't all the way around).. Gonna put some anti-rust stuff on it tomorrow after a good going over with a wire brush in a drill, and my wing has a bit of water in it too...

Thanks for the tips... I'll pull it off and empty the water tomorrow as well.

Cheers,

Remember the at the blade on an R32GTR rear wing is a two piece moulding so there may be some way (?) water gets in there...

My wing on my 32 GTR has water sloshing around inside it also. I've also noticed at the rear eddge of the wing, there is a longish hairline fracture formed. Perhaps capilary action has caused any water dripping down on the surface to be sucked in. I don't think this alone could cause huge ammounts of pressure to build up though. You never know :D

I have seen this thread some weeks back and being a recent GTR buyer I decided to check it out. I opened the boot a few times and then I shook it around ... nothing. Having breathed a sigh of relief I left the poor thing alone and stopped messing with its back side.

Two days later however I opened the boot again and lo and behold Niagara falls inside my wing, bloody wombat tails says I. What a silly problem to have. Almost as common as the door foam on Nissans scratching the driver side window. So please +1 GTR to the water in the spoiler count.

In fact we should probably get a counter going, admin ... :D

this has happened to my window is ther any way to "clean" the scratchs of/out?

if you have taken the water out what was the water like? dirty? fresh?

I didn't stop to take a sip so I can't comment on its freshness (maybe we could sell "GT-R Water" on ebay? Good for atleast 30rwkw), but it looked reasonably clear.

As for the window problem, there is a thread on that somewhere else.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
