I was wondering, the R33 coupe comes with a spoiler as standard. Now if i remove the spolier, the trunk is not even with the sides of the car. I did see some cars having a trunk which matches the sides of the car LIKE in a 4-door R33. May i ask how did they do it? Maybe take a trunk from a 4-door and fit it onto a R33 Coupe?

it would cost more to get the fibreglass extensions wouldnt it? by the time, the cut/mould the fibreglass, attatch it to the existing boot, respray the whole boot again, then u have to pay for labour aswell

you can get a fibreglass one for around 500 and a carbon fibre one for around 900ish from memory..

it would only be illegal if the cop took a close eye and actually defected you for it, but i dont think they would be taking much notice of the boot, but thats just my opinion:)

Hey, I'm 18. Do you think I really give a shit?? :P But carbon fibre? :) Then carbon bonnet, and mirrors, and it'll be all good! I think I'm in love...

if u didnt give a shit u wouldnt be replying in the thread :) but i see where ya comin from...once again personal preference for carbon fibre haha

Duck wing, Drift wing, D-Wing, Stealth wing, its all the same thing. EVERYONE has those on their cars. I agree they do look pretty cool, but I prefer the look of the flush fitting boot, plus its rarer, and that is what I'm looking at doing with my car, making it unique.

Yeh, it looks too wierd with a carbon bootlid and normal bonnet, like the car is going backwards. If u get a carbon boot, better get a carbon bonnet, and the thing between the side windows, and carbon fibre mirrors. Even carbon fibre door handles and rims! And my mind has wandered off again...

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
