My 1st Nismo died because of this same reason.. only I didn't have an intake other then what it came with from the factory. North Dakota has as part of their insurance coverage, a clause that covers this BECAUSE the weather here sucks so bad..

go luck man!

Looks like two street sweepers ready to suck. For the OP being you live in FL, it's your best bet to get a Stillen G3 intake.

That's why i went with the gen 3's, they are much higher up. Unfortunately if someone going FI..TT or SC the air intakes are very low.

......But i wont FI in one form or the other.

Good thing I never drive in the rain. I'm shooting for FI the middle of next year. I'm also thinking of moving to a straight NA track car also. Decisions, decisions.

Thanks for the advice everyone! But i think my car is going to be okay. everything seems normal and no lights are on. Ill still take it in to the dealer for a check up

One lesson I learn from this is to leave my car at home when there is a storm outside...or get he Stillen G3 lol...Anyone want to buy a Injen CAI?

Yah! Or call a cab better to be safe if you need a ride

This happened to me before when I was stationed out in florida with my RSX type-S. I had the injen cai also but I drove through a mall parking lot and boy did it scare the shut out of me.

Long story short, I did like 5 oil changes back to back. Till all of the white residue off my oil and white smoke was all out. After that, the car was perfectly fine and I even went turbo afterwards with no issues.

KaienZ34 · 04-02-2011, 02:19 PM

I don't drive mine in bad weather either, it's not a DD but you can never tell down here. A strom will just pop up during the summer from all the heat.

KaienZ34 · 04-02-2011, 10:55 PM

They fixed it or did you get a new/different one??
