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 :(

yea mate, i have come to the same conclusion!

either i fix it, or just keep freaking out the old ladys when i go screaming around certain corners ;) !

as for the diff, it sure come in handy! thats the problem when the car is a true daily driver!

I'll keep you posted as to my fix.

    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
    • Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
