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

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.

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).

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
