Hey guys

I'm after a bit of information on flat boots.

I was wondering where you got yours, how much you paid etc.

Also are the standard brackets and other standard parts used or do you need new ones?

+ Has anyone just made their standard boot flat by rising it up and stuff?

Thanks,

Brett

hey, im also considering the going with the flat boot, although i found a nice rear spoiler at www.justjap.com called the stealth that looks sick and gives you the flat boot look.

this has been covered a bit if you do a search..

PSI parts on here sell the stealth rear drift wing for $150 i think

i have made a bootlid for my GTR here's a few pics...

My brother in-law owns a panel shop, you need to remove the standard wing, weld the hols up, then they raise and mold some fibre glass over the remaining boot lid making it even with the rear. The trick it to blend it in making it flush with the tail light making it look like factory. Any panel shop would be able to do this go around and get some prices.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
