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.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
