You must have gone through a big puddle, jeez.

Anyway, there are a few tricks for getting the water out. Google it. Unfortunately, the damage is probably already done and your engine is probably toast, depending on how much water got in.

Did you drive in a lake? I have a NISMO CAI w/o the bypass on my car and we had a torrential downpour this morning with 1-2 inches of water all over and I drove through them with no problems??... Hope you get the issues straightened out with your car. Good luck

yeah man, the water must have been really deep to swamp a cai system and get into the engine. I'm not sure what kind of damage water causes once it gets into the motor.

Aye, you pretty much have to submerge the entire filter/intake point to suck in water because of how much denser it is than air.

Anyway, I've seen people get a small amount of water in the engine (very small), and simply run it without a cap of some sort (I can't remember what they removed, exhaust mani or oil filler cap) and get the water out. However, if there's any more than a tiny amount of water in there, the rods and/or valves are toast from trying to compress water.

yeah i was told that my pistons my rods and my valves were ****ed...cuz i can still drive the cur but you can tell when you get over 2000rpm that it sounds like something is ****ed it just shakes and rattles and ****...now i just want to buy aa whole used head for it or maybe a new engine with under 50000miles with a reasonable price...so if anyone has any of those PLEASE let me know e-mail me or something...haha HELP A NISSAN LOVER OUT!!!
