hi all,

I am getting an R34 GT-T auto. It dosnt have the factory boot spoiler. I like them and would like to put one on. Are there indents or markers where the holes would normally go for boot lids with them? Just so i know where to drill the holes? if not is there a template going around as to where to drill them?

thanks

Jason

And if you fail at measuring... Look on the underside of the boot lid and see if you can tell roughly where the spoiler used to sit before it was welded up when the last person took it off.

+1 for buying a whole new boot. There are people who will jump over each other to buy a dewinged boot lid for their Skylines.

LOL i was going to suggest a change over.. but i've been beaten to it.. so many people will swap boots.. however you may be pressed to find one in the same colour

or alternatively, look at getting a 34GTR spoiler..

The 4 door actually came with a few different types of stock wings.

This is the small boot lip.

And this one is the wing that looks similar to the coupe wing, but I have compared the two and the shape of the wings are different. This one sits slightly lower too.

In relation to the initial question I can't help you with that, sorry.

so there is no such thing as one of these without a wing from factory? its a 4door if that makes a difference?

Oh, I thought you meant a real R34, sorry. The real ones ALL had wings from factory. Still I'd try and swap/buy & sell. I'm sure some people out there want to de wing their sedans as well. Don't know if the coupe boot lid will fit the family car though, so you'll have to check that out further.

Coupe boot doesnt fit a 4 door.. And others have commented that ia coupe spoiler on a 4 door makes the car look like a shopping trolley LOL

Origin also make an aftermarket boot lip which is slightly more agressive than the stock one yet still subtle.

It also deletes the centre brake light.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
