R33 Gts-t Boot Lid

[WILLZI]

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

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.
