Recommended Posts

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 :(

    • I want someone to make side skirt extensions. But by 'extensions' I mean running from one side of the car to the other, forming a flat undertray, maybe one that runs to the front and rear of the car too 
    • Meh, maybe the JSAI ones are FG not CF. But, given that I'm not convinced any of these look any good, it hardly matters.
    • Got them in the other day. I can confirm the r33/r34 nozzles (B8K30-AA000) are the exact same. Hope this helps anyone else that comes looking for it 
    • Yeah, I should state I have no overheating issues except when it's sitting idle, with AC on (and only then) and only on VERY VERY hot days. And it stops if I turn the AC off. But I put a lot of effort into making this thing run like a regular car, I want the AC to work when I want it to work. I need no excuses as to why I should make some other thing a daily! And tbf, the thing does heat soak pretty bad, not much I can do with the exhaust running under the driver's seat, you can feel it through your shoes/pants when you step out of the car, too. Point being, aircon inside the cabin is on pretty frequently. I did think about removing heater hoses to simplify the engine bay/back of engine because I cannot imagine a scenario where I ever need a heater. Except for defogging, but doesn't AC do that, not the heater? So in this very limited situation, raising the rear could work, purely to let hot air out. I've ran the car at the track on a 35C day with the aircon on, and it doesn't overheat in that scenario so that's why I thought it was due to heat soak/heat buildup and not just general overheating under load. I had previously tried shrouding the radiator, changing my balancer to a non-underdriven one to spin the water pump more at idle too, and installing two more thermo fans on the other side of the radiator/AC condenser. (So I have 4 now, 2 pushing, 2 pulling from the rad) neither really helped in this very limited scenario. I don't know if the vents will, but visually seeing the heat steaming out of them did give me hope, not to mention the temperature of the vents was MUCH hotter than other areas of the bonnet. Enough that one of the paint guys was unsure as to whether paint would stick to it long term. I'm sure that will be fine also.
    • JustJap sell CF underskirts like that.
