Hey guys,

Leather R32 Gear and Handbrake boots are back!

Price is $55 and includes free express postage to your address!

We need a minimum of 10 boots ordered.

Group buy open from 14th May till 14th July 2009.

If you are interested please PM me or post here to be included in this group buy.

================

Here is how to install the handbrake boot (all credit to Triptych for this installation guide and help)

For people having trouble installing the handbrake boot because they come flat not pre-bent this is what I did to fit it to my R32 GTS-T

1. Take old handbrake boot out.

2. Push leather inwards on old handbrake boot and sit the new boot on top.

3. You should now have the metal from the old boot and new boot sitting on top of each, Make sure it is lined up evenly.

4. Push the metal on the new boot at the same bend in the old boot so they are both bent at the same place.

5. Keep adding pressure to the metal on the new boot so after the bend it is touching the metal of the old boot.

6. Put them side to side to make sure they are bent in same place on the same angel etc, and fine tune as needed.

I know its a little hard to understand without pictures but seriously if you think about it, it is only a 2 minute job.

Here is how mine turned out (sorry about the bad apperture and focus on the steering wheel)

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
