Hi guys,

I just realise that my R33 is leaking water through a pipe on the passenger side, just beside the engine.

I have some pics to show below. The arrows indicating the pipe is the one that is leaking. I think it is water that is leaking out, dont think it's oil or coolant. Also my wiper spray (dont know if it is what u called it), the one where u pull the wiper tube and water sprays out? Stop spraying water and I have no idea where to fill the water. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks!

Was your A/C running at the time of the observed water leak?

The washer reservoir should be in the front left (passenger) corner of the engine bay, the cap is right in front of the LH strut tower.

Yes I was on the aircon while driving, but only notice the leak after I stopped my car and switched the engine off. There is a big white box on the driver's side right behind the headlights, any idea what box is it? Plenty of water in it, dont know if it's the wiper water.

It was probably the water from the a/c (a/c removes moisture from the air and dumps it down the pipe you have indicated. if you get under the car, you should see it is open-ended.)

The container is probably the radiator overflow. The washer bottle might be partially hidden by the airbox.

So is it normal? Or do i need to replace the pipes? My air con blows only cold air at 18 degrees which is the lowest and at 19 degrees and above, it starts to blow HOT air. Could this be the cause of the water leakage? and according to the other thread, the problem was solved from a switch, but i have no idea where the switch is located. Can anyone post some pictures or something? Thanks alot mates!

water leak sounds normal. leave that

Hot/cold air - vent is behind the washer/wiper stalk - need to remove most of the dash facing to check it

washer bottles is a Large white bottle behiond the drivers headlight - hidden under the lip of teh guard next to that is the radiator over flow

if you still confused, post a bigger shot of your engine bay

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
