Hi everyone,

So as the title states.

When i opened my boot the other day where the spare tyre is usually kept ( i dont have one ) It was filled with water!!

It happens when it rains, Has anyone had this problem?

Or know how/ or who would fix these things?

Also, Whilst i am driving the glass windows in my doors ( 2 door ) Make alot of noise when they are down, Like they are lose, and you can hear it rattling bad. I'v had a look and cant see what it would be, i'v made sure everything is tight.

Anyone know?

Thanks alot! :D

Mine did that as well. All i did to fix it is make sure the channel that the water is meant to go through behind the tail lights is free from debri. I had leaves and everything in there and was over flowing into boot. Once that was removed i dont get a wet boot anymore.

Yeah mine has no leaves. Hmmm

probably coming in around the tail light. you will probably find that your tail lights also have water in them. i had a similar problem. pulled the tail lights off, resealed them and put them back in and bob's your aunty, no more water in the boot.

also about the windows rattling around when down..

i had to take the entire trim off my driver and passenger doors - used bits of rubber (similar to rubber washers you'd put around taps etc but thicker) i sorta just jammed it into places where the window was rattling against the door (just make sure your not putting rubber in parts that prevent the window going up and down, otherwise you run the risk of it jamming and breaking the glass)

    • Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers
    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
