I think there is.. but if i were you i'd just do yourself a favour (and the car) and drill where the water appears to be pooling.. rather than find out later on that its rusted through. A small drill hole can make a huge difference, and won't destroy any part of the car.

I've killed rust dead in other cars just by doing that. drill hole, rust killer, and never to be rusted ever again.

You can try and find the source also, although that can be diffiult. Usually in an R33 it slides down into just near the hinges and pools there. eventually to slide down and into the boot later on.

I was getting the same water in the boot problem.

It turned out that some how the washer hose for the rear screen wiper had come off and evertime I wanted to wash the rear screen it was pumping the water straight into the boot.

But if your rear washer is working ok, ie spraying onto the rear screen that won't be the cause of your problem.

WTF????Do yourself a favour and dont drill any holes!!!!!!!!!I bet the waterwill be coming in from the taillights.....get a garden hose and open the bootlid take the inner taillight boot trim off then run the water at the front near rear windscreen....you will see the water run down into the tail light bezzels and look into the boot and you will see it coming into the boot

  • 6 years later...

Bit of a thread dig....

but after all this rain we've had lately I just notice the swimming pool that was once my boot. Ripped out all the lining and and took out the drain plugs. Once it was all dry I closed the boot lid and soaked around the tail lights with the garden hose then opened it up to see where it was coming from.

Culprit was the seal around the drivers side tail light assembly,

:thanks:

Mike.

I'm going to remove and clean the assembly around the bodywork and re-seal it with something that remains soft an tacky like what was use at the factory. I have a panel beater mate, so I'll take over his place, he'll have something for it. Silicon adhesive might be bitch if you need to remove the light later on.

Well getting the tail light assembly out was the difficult part, unscrewed the nuts but left them still attached to the studs so I could apply force with a socket driver. It took quite a bit of effort to break the seal from the old caulking compound, but once started the rest soon followed. Cleaned the old stuff off with a credit card and mineral turps. Then reapplied new sealant (Selley's D-Mastic) to the tail light assembly and also applied a bead to the body work, and screwed it all together, took less than an hour.

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
