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).

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
