g'day everyone,

well, my boot lid won't stay up. i've tried to look inside the boot for maybe a strut or something but i can't see anything except two thin bars.

does anyone know how i could go about fixing this? if it's a strut regas problem, where are my struts?

hellpppppppp!!  :(  :P  ;)  :)

do you have an aftermarket wing fitted?

Thanks for the replies, fellas!

>HAVE YOU CHECKED TO SEE IF THE BARS ARE BROKEN?

They don't look broken - are they meant to be tawt? are these bars meant to keep my boot lid up?

>do you have an aftermarket wing fitted?

No, just the standard r32 wing...

thanks heaps guys!

The R32 doesn't have struts. The bars work like an anti-roll bar in the suspension to try and hold the boot open.

Make sure the rods are not broken (it needs to be more than "they don't appear to be broken"), and the ends are properly bolted down. If you have to, climb in the boot with a light and inspect everything.

ok, climbed into the boot and had a good look - from what I can see, the bars are definitely not broken (i traced my finger along both bars) and the ends look like they are securely fastened.

the bars look very thin though and i'm not sure how they could keep that boot up!

does anyone have any idea what i should do now? :rofl:

Well, those bars hold my boot open, and I've got the GT-R wing sitting on it. Without the wing fitted, those rods literally throw the boot open.

Similar design on 240Zs helps hold that thumping great bonnet open.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
