Ok, this is not the easiest thing to explain but here goes.

My remote boot release has never worked. I have fixed it now so that it does, but I don't understand why it has the "feature" it has, which is the reason it never worked in the first place.

The small lever that the remote release cable activates is on the lower catch mechanism (on the car itself) and it hits the release on the boot lid mechanism, and the boot opens. For some reason the level on the lower mechanism has a long vertical slot in it so that it can move up and down as well as side to side. WHen it is all the way down and then activated from the remote lever, it does not contact the boot lid, but when it is all the way up and then the release is pulled it works fine.

I just don't know what the option to have it all the way down would be for, as this doesn't seem to be a handy feature. Has anyone had this right appart and worked out how it should go? If not the next time it doesn't work it's coming right out and either understood or modified (home style).

Thanks

The design is so that you can have a different key for the boot, and safely leave your car somewhere without the the sphincter of the universes having access to what's in the boot via the remote release.

Valet feature.

You should have 2 different keys for your R33. A squarey head one and a round head one. The round one is the one you give to valet kids and it doesnt open the boot or the glovebox.

If you are gonna use it, you need to disable the remote boot release via this as said above

:D

      Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy

      I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn’t respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way

      I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.

      I haven't used the Crank Motorsport ones, but can I ask why not use standard gtr/gts4 axles at the front? They would easily cope with that power level. BTW.....sounds like quite the project!
