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

    • Welcome. This is not really true. We have a whole forum here just for the NA shitboxen. And they are not very different from the turbo shitboxen. Just weaker brakes and gearboxes, and no LSD, for the most part.
    • I'm pretty sure it has an 040 in it @Duncan Also reading up, that turbo should top out at 250 as you first thought. It will be interesting to see how early it chokes due to the changes in the head too
    • Yeah confirmed they are Nismo 555s, found the boxes in the spares with the factory injectors in. Yeah the AAC has been relocated to allow reuse of the factory brake booster line, and yes confirmed it has a 1 way valve in it. Unfortunately the one on the car is cracked, I'll need to replace it. Pretty sure I've got all the AAC plumbing correct in my previous post, but I am going to source some new fittings with 90o angles to help with the hose routing and also one really specific moulded shape for the AAC intake to cold start hose (will raid the back of our local repco when I get a chance and work out some combo that works) One of the big things I learned in the GTR is you need to be able to get your hands all around the bay when something goes wrong. I've done a bunch of re-routing now and it should be much more practical now. Also got the BOV mount re TIG-ed by the local engineering shop so that should be good to go now. Never got to the fuel pump because of some life stuff today, but will pull it to confirm it is suitable for 300rwkw when I get a chance
    • Hello everyone, I am from Malta and have recently bought myself a fully stock 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS. It has the RB20DE engine and thus is NA. Unfortunately, not a lot of information can be found online related to the GTS, unlike the information for GTS-T and GTR variants. Apart of the Skyline, I also got a 1984 Porsche 924 2.0l NA and a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5DCi for everyday use. Excited to be apart of the community and perhaps get better information on cars such as the GTS.
    • The fuel pump bracket just slides straight up.  Below is a pic I stole off a site. But basically put hand in for fuel pump, wiggle it all about a bit while pulling up.
