Hey guys

i was just wondering if anyone knows if it is difficult to install the rear boot lock??

as mentioned some shmuck helped themselves to my badges.

I have a "96" r33 gtst and the rear badge as you all probably know covers the lock,

which they took as well.

also can they open the boot easily now?? i have an alarm that will go off if they do but i'd prefer to keep

people out the old fashion lock and key way.

when i change the lock can i change the internals to fit my key or am i destined to roam the streets with

two sets??

Thanks in advance guys.

Gordon

p.s. if i happen to catch the little bastards and break their hands, does that make me the criminal?????? :D

lol... i'm guessing they ripped the swivelling badge off your boot lock right? how does that make it any easier for them to break into your boot? LOL.. when all it does is cover the boot lock.

imo i'd leave it.. my bet is you'll go through the hassle of changing everything

then the same punks will laugh and come and badge it again...

Weld up hole & repaint... looks great on my 32R

I'm doing this too - whilst getting my d wing installed and whole boot resprayed.

Mine didnt get badged, it actually snapped off one day when i went to open the boot up and chuck come groceries in :)

So atm im left with the bare boot lock/keyhole. It looks ugly and unfinished without the swivel badge...

to install the boot lock is pretty easy mate just push it into the hole and there should be a slide to go in too that holds it in place, not much to it really. but as said id deffo go for the debadged look and im on the look out for a carbon bootlid that will allow it :P

My R33-S2 came with a "well, it looks like someone wanted to steal the badge" look so i replaced it with a S1 version. The lock internals can be removed and installed to the new lock holder as it's only clipped by "C" clips so my main keys can still work with the replacement trunk lock.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
