^^THIS^^

I’ve driven mine in the rain many times. If you drive thru standing water that covers your axel hubs, you’ll likely inhale water and hydro lock.

No normal rain isn’t a issue And this was actually a flash flood that I couldn’t get out off ( drive through ) ...I should have stopped and shut the car off but I tried to turn off at a intersection and didn’t realize how much deeper it was with the water rushing down ...I have had and drove both of my nismos since 2015 daily through all weather and heavy rain .both were forced induction one with gtm supercharger and this with boosted performance kit and both the air filter is in the same location and I never had any issues before ...this was a isolated incident and where the situation just happen put me in a bad spot ..not to mention it was actually Friday 13 this happen on as well lol
