cheers mate, thanks heaps.....more if you could, its not suppose to be completely flush with the guard when looking from side is it????

Also is that a carbon fibre wing?or have you just put vinyl on top?if so id like to know how

looks very nice

which is lighter carbon fibre or fibreglass??

i think if your just buying the small wing... it should be level with the rear,though some people have varied designs.

the pics are of a mould we made from a boot with that lip on it then blended in... sits pretty flush with side guards..

its a full carbon fibre bootlid. weighs 4.5kgs i think my GTR bootlid is 26-28kgs so thats a big weight difference if you ask me.

here's a few more pics..

yeah.. made it myself.. along with the rest of the carbon stuff on my car..

i like the boot with that lip moulded in makes my 33 look tough..

Very tough indeed! I'm looking to buy a flat boot or drift wing..

Do you know if the flat carbon boots from carmate are any good?

As for the high level brake light.. just pull the one out of your stock wing and let it sit in your parcel tray! :)

carmate stuff is just fibreglass stuff with 1 layer if carbon... good for people on a budget that still want the carbon look... i've done repairs to so much crappy carbon products bought elsewhere though.. so if your buying products like that just take good care of them... keep them out of the sun as prolonged exposure to sunlight makes the resins they use go all funny colours...

hey r33madd, im selling mine on trademe,which i bought and havent used. Pm me for more details.Im selling to get a carbon version of both bootlid and wing lip.

Are you able to post up the link to the trademe auction or p.m the link, do you have any pics of it and how much do you want for itl??im very interested.cheers

will that bootlid + drift lip fit on a series 1 r33 skyline gtst coupe?or are the gtr boots slightly different

anyhow, how much we looking at for both?

the boot is $1650 in carbon or $880 in fibreglass....

both ?? it is just 1 its a replacement boot with that lip built onto it. was moulded like that...

and i'm sure all 33's are the same boot. GTR or GTST

oh and the boot hasn't seen the rain yet? but yeah it would pool up, just take it for a spin all the water will be gone in no time...

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
