If it's going to be permanent, you could get them welded up and bogged and sprayed relatively cheaply. Not that hard to do most the work your self, and just leave the spray for teh experts, probably cost a couple of hundred.

Otherwise Bluetac FTW :D

Rubber grommets from Clark Rubber. They cost like $1 each, maybe not even, I don't remember. Just go in, grab some, and test fit (they'll let you), make sure they fit quite tight. I have some that are the pull through grommets, they're mad.

Grommets just sound so dodge for a permanent job. I mean were talking about modifications for a skyline, if the jobs permanent, do the car the justice it deserves and do it properly. I'm sure you could use rubber grommets just like people use a bucket for a pod cover.. lol

Seriously mate i'm sure you could go to any local business that does welding, ask them to weld a plate on the underside, then bogging is really quite easy. Give it a go yourself bog it up and sand it back.

Otherwise panel shops fix front bars for like $180, and they do all the work them self, so I'm sure if found someone to weld it up, you could then just drop your boot lid in at the start of the week you'd have it back in a few days for around $200 cash.

I've got a quote for the proper job, welded, bogged and painted for about $500 .. but for abit extra $$$ u can buy brand new carbon fibre bootlid . so, what u guys reckon?

where can i get carbon fibre bootlid for my 32 ?

cheers

dude 500 for some paint on boot is wayyyyyyyyyyy to much

i wouldnt pay more then 250-350.

The CF bootlid, is it all made out of CF or is it fiberglass with a layer of carbon?

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
