How do I find out the boot capacity of my R34 GTT??

I've tried some online searches (ie: google).. But to no avail...

I've got a bet on with my dad whether my boot is bigger or the family car's (E46) 320i boot is bigger...

see how much water you can fill it with. who's ramon btw? sorry to be unhelpful

lol just got back from gym when I wrote that, I had no blood in my brain at the time..

If I filled my boot with water wouldn't all my carpet rot??

Also, the bloody thing would leak... Surely there are specs on it somewhere...

lol i just got back from there too. hence why the title confused me so. im not serious bout the water.

fill each boot with jelly beans- count jelly beans and multiply the individual bean volume by the total amount :ninja:

ah but you underestimate due to space between the beans.

try to find a workshop manual man. best place to look 4 specs

Woohoooo...I got it!

Sedan is 423L and coupes are 316L

Found answer HERE

YOU get jelly beans now! :):):rolleyes:

{Edit} Now to find the boot capacity of an E46 BMW 320i...

lol... oh dear.

:P

Umm, if you got a tape measure and measured it you could do BxHxD to calculate volume...but that doesn't account for the irregular shape...

I'd just accept defeat.

you could do the basic (lxbxh) + simpsons rule for flat area then use the (1/2 base x l x h) to make it into a triangular prism for volume then add together dunno how accurate it would be but it would be better then just lxbxh

LOL :bunny:

Yeh that'd work...

Except ya don't hire me, 'cause I like the yellow ones...

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
