i can only get my fingers under it to open. Thanks

Theres a "torsional like" bar under the parcel shelf that equalizes some of the weight of the boot. I would think, upgrading it could open the boot by simply hitting the lever.

Once removed the wing off a GTR (full of import water) and the thing shot up, slamming into the bump stops.

Yeah, in other words, leave it as is to avoid further hassles smile.gif
It's got a bloody great wing to counterweight the torsion spring. Remove the wing, and it will almost launch itself onto the bonnet.

VVV

No hassles - I wasn't joking :) I took it off temporarily after Rx'n from Japan so i could tap some holes and drain the 1.5L of water from it :D

Sorry to drag up an old thread but I have the opposite problem and was hoping that someone could help me out? I had a gtr wing on my GTS-T when i bought it. Now removing the wing it does exactly as described above, flings open furiously! how do I get it to just pop and not fling? I have 2 torsional bars but cannot see any form of step adjustment so would i be correct in assuming that you have one bar for no wieght and 2 for a heavy wing?

Any help would be most appreciated!

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
