Wet Feet?

[mindflux]

Hey I got a puzzeling question..

I took my bros r33 for a spin the other day .. and as i went around around a corner with a bit of speed, water came out of somewhere and poured onto my left foot..

closer inspection showed it was possibly coming from a pipe angeling at your feet..

anyone know whats goin on here?

[prae]

Would it be the aircon?

[mindflux]

possibly .. but why is water coming out of the air con?

This is probably the same thing that we have with our pintara (r31 he he he)...

Aircon - Leaves (or whatever) get stuck in there, blocking flow of air i think and water condenses and comes out when you go around a corner (depending on the setup of the car). In our car, it's on the passenger side and will pour out when taking a right turn (so that the force acting on the water is to the left). Flush the leaves out

I'll have the exact reasons tomorrow when my dads back... unless someone else knows.

Could also be your heat core pipes leaking.

I have this EXACT same problem.... well did.... now its kinda fixed itself up..... ????

Heater Core.

WATCH YOUR WATER LEVELS AND TEMPS VERY CLOSELY!@#@$!#@$%#!%!@#$%^!

Can't stress this enough. If that is the problem, it can be expensive.

If my water has stopped splashing all over my feet then from behind where the air con system and stereo is then is my heater core ok?

Culd also be your heat core pipes leaking.

this happened in my datsun 260z i know it isnt a skyline plus its like another 15 - 20 years older but it was the heater core that had rusted out and cracked... had to pull the whole dash off to find the problem.

You've been driving through a river??

Common problem in the skylines.. Anyhow, this is the solution. In the FAQ section there is a full guide to fixing the problem and photos, etc. Its a roughly 5 hour job to fix, and yep, it does need to be fixed.

The alternative is to bypass your heater completely via just plumbing it back into itself in the engine bay and skipping replacing the core for the time being. I wrote how to do that somewhere else too...

25GTT - not necessarily. Mine was a bit intermitent, then started getting worse and worse till it was doing it all the time. Of course the less you use your heater system (and in the R32/R33 skylines its kind of a balance between the heater and aircon at any one point for any degree you dial in) the less likely you're going to get the problem. Just keep a very close eye on your coolant levels, especially on hot days. Never know, always possible that some gunk has jammed in the hole, preventing it leaking

It's got to do with your air con, i had the same problem. Just take it too an air con place and they will fix it within 10 mins. The prob with mine was a pipe came out and all they did was replace, even did it for free..

[predator]

not always... But yeah, if its a little bit of water its aircon condensation = minor problem probably like you say strutz

If its actually coolant (coolant tastes icky, looks green and generally stinks) its your heater core = problem

[mindflux]

man i dunno what the dela is here

some people say it takes 5 hours to fix the others say its 10 minutues..

ill take the car for a loop and see what comes out.. i thik its too do with the air con .. as im pretty sure its just water .. however its a fair bit of water..

so how do i fix that?

[struz]

Mindflux -

Well it took the bloke i went too 10 mins to fix. Everytime i turned sharply on the righthand side my left shoe was covered in water , was quite funny actually untill my old man drove my car and said it was a condensor or something arather pipe that has come out. It isn't a big deal but it does get very annoying.

I have an R33 GTR and you also have the same model so i doubt the air con pipes would be different or anything..

Good luck shouldn't cost you much anyway..

[mindflux]

Well thats the exact same thing thats happening here..

the quesiton is .. how do i fix it ..

[Guest INASNT]

get under the dash and check for any loose hoses

[struz]

Yup as INASNT stated, either get under the dash or take it too an air con place. Very simple..
