Someone Stole My Bootclips Where Do I Get Replacements?


Recommended Posts

ok some prick stole my bootclips (I have a fibreglass bootlid) off my GTR when it arrived in Melbourne.

So the questions is, where do I find replacements? I've seems some truck stores etc but these are huge and ugly. Also places like Bunnings etc don't have anything suitable for cars. Everyone has bonnet clips but bootclips seem to be another story..

Here are pics of what the originals looked like just before the vehicle was shipped from Japan and the lovely new holes left after some prick stole them.

Geeze that car is nothing but trouble huh Shiv? :)

Tried Autobarn / Super Cheap / Repco???

Otherwise - maybe Meridian.

Chris has some on the rally gem - give him a call.

Yeh think i'll drop by and checkout Autobarn 'morrow.

I think Chris might have the large truck style ones but i'll give him a buzz and see.

btw The metal valve caps and side GT badges were also stolen but i've replaced these since. The damn GTR badge is coming off tho...

buy one of those cheap chinese briefcases on ebay, rip the clips off it - voila! :P

on another note, who the hell steals friggin boot lid clips? :)

I've seen them on yahoo japan auctions.. but surely you can source them locally.

    • Hi guys my TPS voltage is reading over 2v at idle.  My Haltech ECU is reading around 40% throttle position at idle also which is really strange. Note the actual throttle position sensor is brand new…    anyone have any experience with this or know how to calibrate it on Haltech ? 
    • The OEM disk will not work on any AEM ECU, you need to use the one they made. You shouldn't have to flip the CAS or whatever you were describing, if you set the ignition sync offset correctly it can't backfire. Make sure you're using a spark plug lead on coil 1 instead of the timing loop to avoid weird issues with the timing light. Double check that your timing settings are actually correct, like is the 24 tooth configured correct or should it actually be 12 teeth for 1 crank revolution? I also found this: 305817248-AEM-Undocumented-Settings-v1-2.pdf    
    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).
