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).

    • To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
    • Good old Orange Park hey... 😛   f**k I miss that race track
    • lo, it was a death trap. Good times. Got any Fatz Drift Day DVDs still available?
    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
