Guys,

This is probably a weird request but just on the off chance someone with an R34 4 door can lend me their bootlid for a couple of days.

Reason is, my current bootlid has a rust spot inside which is getting bigger and needs to be cut out and rewelded. Have already got a quote and estimate time to do it is 3 working days as the whole bootlid will need to be resprayed and I will be removing my wing and getting the holes welded up as well.

My dillema is, I only have one car now as the S13 has been sold and the 34 is my work car. I can drop my bootlid off to be fixed but won't be able to drive around bootlidless :thumbsup:

So if anyone out there has their 34 sitting in their garage as a weekend warrior and you don't mind lending me ur bootlid, let me know. Will work out an agreed form of compensation to you :)

Cheers,

Jon

are you sure coupes and sedans have different bootlids jon?

actually, i could help you out depending on when your looking at getting bootlid surgery as long as you can put up with having a silver bootlid on your white car.

PM me and we'll talk somemore if you like

Thanks Reg! Will be in contact soon. And yes, the coupes and sedans definately have a different bootlid.

Jon, the simple answer is drive without the bootlid. Less weight means more powah!!!!! :sorcerer:

Can I ask where the rust hole is? Also what are you doing with the wing?

Thanks guys, I have had a few fellow 34 owners offer to lend me the bootlid, however after a bit more thought, I've decided to put this plan on hold for the meantime..too much stuffing around. The rust spot is on the inside lower corner (I'll post pics up later) Its about the size of a dollar coin and its starting to show on the outside with a few pin sized bubbles.

Smurf80: If and when I remove the wing will look at selling it most likely.

Thanks for all the offers! :(

how much was ur quote on ur bootlid to be resprayed ?

coz mine has a rust too :P

Quote was $400 from Cameron's bodyworks. That includes, cutting out the rust, rewelding, also removing wing and welding up holes and respraying the whole bootlid in factory 3 layer pearl (QT1).

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
