I have noticed this pool of brown clearish sticky liquid on the passenger floor under the dash and the carpet is soaked with it and the mat has a pool mark on it. i was thinking it has something to do with the air con or heater as it seems to be on the left side of my windsreen also... weird shit! and it also smells weird.

Can anyone help me? as im strapped for cash at the moment and wanna see if i can fix it myself.

ANYONE>>>???

My car is a 95 R33.

Cheers,

Kier

check something for me. It's brown is it? go and have a look at the coolant in your radiator and tell me what colour it is. Then get on the floor and have a look up into the dash where the heater core is and where it would leak from. see anything leaking?

lastly, are you using the plastic guard liners? water can come in if it's quite wet outside without those

Worst practical joke ever - I knew this drunk guy that thought it would be funny if he pissed in someone's car. I tell you, no one was laughing at all. that guy was dead big time. Do you have friends like that?

if its brown i'd say it was your heater core. if it smells a bit musty its definitely your heater core.

even if your coolant is green, even if its fluro pink for that matter, the heater core will still leak brown. they pick up so much crap in there its not funny.

yeah guys ive had a look at other threads , i think my worst fears are realised. f**kin Car is falling apart the little c**t. o well. by the way no need to be f**kin smart c**ts aye ive never seen a coke bottle spill that much shit unless they have brought out 4L bottles recently???lol cheers mate witht the yellow ride, thanks for not being a lamo.

anyone know if it will spill more ? i am guessing it wont spill unless the climate is on more than ambient?

Tone your language back, absolutely no need for it.

i was being serious, as you didnt mention the size of said "pool mark" it is hard to determine how much has leaked, what size it is etc.

the easiest way to resolve your situation with little or no money spent is to bypass the heater core with some copper tubing, the hoses are just behind the passenger side cam cover, join them together to remove the core from the system - although this stops your heater from working, atleast you wont run out of coolant and over heat the car. then fix it up as per the DIY thread in the DIY section for replacing the core.

Nice attitude - Warning issued.

Next time want help, loose the attitude and post without the excessive language and you might get somewhere.

    • (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)    
    • This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.
    • I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system
    • I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.
    • As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
