Big difference, but use to happen on my r30. I just siliconed it all up tight as a drum and its fine. If its getting in through your boot though and not just the exterior light covers than probably boot seal.

yeah mate its an aus spec one. Use to have the shit Aus/NZ r30 lights (Pretty similar to Pintara lightys). But dad imported some from japan from an HR30 and we slapped them in. I think this car easily has another 50,000 km's or more in it, as as io mentioned earlier the only problems are the thrush bearing and rust in the boot.

Gday, Ive had an R30 4-door l24e for about 6 months now (aslong as ive had my license) and my dad had it for a few years before than. Shes in great condition and my dad has done a fair bit of work to keep her going and we look after it well. I feel that the R30's are really being phased out (half way between the transition of being bogan mobiles to classics). And this one has done around 340,000 with completely stock/original everything. Im torn between either selling it for chips (Probably $1200 at the most) or trying to hold onto her for aslong as i can. My dad bought it at an auction about 2 years back for $900 and since than we have NEVER had a single problem with it. It uses minimal oil and all the electrics are good. If theres anything to complain about theres a bit of gearbox noise in certain gears and when the clutch is out, which i hear is the thrush bearing (some comfirm that?). It has rust but the only bit is in the boot lid which could be replaced with moderate ease, no other rust anywhere else. The problem is I know that if i sell it the only people that are going to buy it is a dickhead thats going to thrash it or someone else that will neglect it. but if i choose to hold onto i just dont have the income to do the work/modifications i want to. Just wanted some advice or reassurance from some of you older/more experienced blokes about what to do. Anything will be appreciated, cheers EDIT: Heres the pics
