ok, like the title says, anybody suffered water in the cabin from the air con? it will empty if i go hooking around a right hand corner.

doesn't seem to be a block in the pipe.. doesn't matter what settings, if the air con is on, after about 35min or so i get a wet foot :P

Anybody have a fix for it?

Please help..

Your evaporator drain is blocked causing moisture to build up and fill ur cabin, any air-con system builds up moisture which leaks through the evap drain.

in not sure with the skylines but most drains are on the firewall some of them are near the chassis rail.

You prob have noticed water leaking from the back of a bus when ur driving in traffic this is the same thing

bunch of butt heads! :laughing-smiley-014:

1. I know about condences and moisture in air cons..

2. i know water comes off a bus.. I DRIVE COACHES!

3. Yes Geoff, Turbo is big :worship: , but dump pipe is insulated, drain pipe does not seem to be melted or blocked!

4. As stated, Water does empty when i hook around a right hand corner with some urgentcy.

5. Water ONLY comes AFTER the air-con is turned on..

any other wise cracks got a better solution?

ohh Geoff, the lsd is goin, but it not as strong as the old one..

Well it was out of the race car.....but hey, it keeps you going.

Alright, just had to make sure mate. There has to be something clogged and that would be around that water drain. Not sure if it can be pulled so maybe use something flexible to shove into it to see if you can clear it. There is only one drain on the system, other than around your foot once it is full :(

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Sydneykid · Posted

      Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary

      If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
