Hi guys,

I have a series 1 R33 GTS-T, and it has a GTR copy wing on it. Not really a fan, and the wing is stuck on good, so i bought another boot lid with a series 2 wing on it. (Hoping to just bolt on and bingo - prob solved).

However, the boot lid is from a series 2 skyline. It came with hinges, gas strutts etc too.

I bolted the lot on, and it doesnt line up very well at all. I found out that I can adjust the boot latch height on the car end, but the boot still sits up too high at the rear...

Does anyone know if the boot lid, hinges, gas strutts, boot latch etc are different between the series 1 and series 2? Also, is there any other points of adjustment on the boot at all to make it fit better?

Please reply with thoughts / suggestions.

Cheers

hope someone gives u advice.. im having trouble adjusting the boot lock on my r33 series 1, my boot hasnt been able to shut for the last 3 months..

there should be someone on here that knows how to help you with this, they're pretty knowledgeable

Any luck with this ?

Someone once returned my car with the boot out of wack after taking it off. It leaked big time.

I decided to loosen all the bolts and give it a gentle bending, assuming they let the hinges bend while taking it off without someone to help keep it aligned.

When I retightened the bolts, it seemed to sit much better when closed. I still might have another go getting it closer aligned one day, but for now, at least it's close enough to stop the leaking.

Hope this helps.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
