Boot Question

[nis32r]

Hi Guys,

The boot on my GTR R32 does not spring up when I release it with key or leaver. Is there a spring I can replace or do I have to replace the whole boot ?

Thanks,

Charlie

Spring up to the full open position or spring up so you cn get a finger under it and open it?

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

If you want to get it to open the whole way, you'll need those hydraulic things, I can't remember. Why do you want it to open the whole way by itself anyway?

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.

It's got a bloody great wing to counterweight the torsion spring. Remove the wing, and it will almost launch itself onto the bonnet.

Yeah, in other words, leave it as is to avoid further hassles

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

Thanks for all the replies,

My boot actually doesn't spring at all and its quite annoying, if i pop the lever and close the door the boot locks itself again. I've seen other GTR pop the lever and the boot opens about 15 -20cms.

Cheers,

Automatic boot opener? Press the button and it opens by itself, press it again and it closes by itself. I dream of something like this, as well as a remote controlled manual car, Bond style, but I think the boot is more reasonably...

drain the water out too lol

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!
