hey guys, just got a couple of small things which i need to fix immediately, but just thought i'd get some advice on whether these problems are common or not and where is the best place to get these fixed if i can't do it myself

1) parking lights, and backlight of my dash, no longer work. happened at the same time so i think it's related. common problem? should i just go to auto-electrician?

2) my boot flies open sometimes on realli bumpy roads, i also found it very hard to close properly in the weeks leading up to this problem. i think the latch on it is worn out or sumthing or disfigured. common problem? where should i go to get this fixed cos it is quite annoying..and dangerous i think.

any help will be apprecieted. thanks guys!

For the 1st problem I would first cheak all the fuses before going to an auto elect, if it is a fuse blown then change it, if it blows again take it to an auto elect.

For the 2nd problem, sounds like the latch has moved, check the position of the latch which is on the car not the boot lid, there should be a bolt holding it in place, you can loosen the bolt and adjust the hook. The boot should close easily, this problem you can fix yourself.

Goodluck

hey mate thanks for ur help

i'll change the fuse tomorow

i just tried doing what u told me with the boot, but it still didn't work, i think the latch on the car wasn't the problem. i had a closer look at the latch on the actual boot and yeh, it looks pretty worn out, and the part the moves keeps jamming and i have to un-jam it with a key or sumthing..hard to explain. any ideas on where i can take it for sum1 to have a look?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
