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.

thats all good n sweet mate but thing is i change my mind on things as frequent as melbournes weather so if i get the boot nicely painted n stuff then 3 weeks later i would want a gtr spoiler.. lol

rubber grommets it is thanks guys

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?

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
