Mate, yeah carmate.com definitely have them - despite what some say, they're not too bad, but you'll be in for a 2-3 week wait for them to dispatch something now seeing it's Christmas and all.

I'd also try XXX Bodykits and Jetspeed - I know they have them too.

What you can do if you like is bring your car to a panel beater and get them to flush-fill your boot with fibreglass - looks very nice too and possibly cheaper.

Good luck.

No worries mate.

If I were you, I'll consider my options first... one thing though, if you get an aftermarket FB boot, it won't look as flush.... so yeah....

I was a little worried about the lock area as it looks like it has the hole covered over and you can see some sort of depression, I was a little sceptical about the item to be honest... but similar ones come up on auction a fair bit...

yeh i did notice that but oh well its nice all the same, yeh i will keep an eye out cheers. also while im talking to you i noticed that you do vinal grafics. i was wondering what a desing like on a drift car ive seen spnsored by viva garage is whorth, its just a pin stripe that tapers from fine and thin at the front qauter panel and runs to the rear of the car near the tail light wear it gradually gets thicker towards the rear, and follows the little body line just under the door handle, the stripe is made from rectangle blocks that have a angled end if that makes sence like slices i guess

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
