my car came with a flimsy boot floor like that one shown on ebay. Is that the normal thing for the boot? im going to make an MDF cut out and carpet it.

What have other people done with this?

Yes, mine came with one similar to that, I say similar as it was falling apart. It now lives at the dump, I will eventually make a MDF floor for the boot.

Im in the middle of making a 12" Sub fit in the wheel well of my brothers GTR and ive made up an MDF floor. i can take a few snaks of ir quickly before we carpet and seal it up if you like as we used bracing on the bottom surface to help stop flexing when he puts things in there and to stop the flex when the sub is at full tilt. You can get the idea by looking at it, just minus the sub :)

I did this.. I think I just some 6mm MDF I had lying around. I basically traced the floor carpet onto it. Since the MDF isn't flexible like the carpet I took some measurements of the actual boot opening and trimmed as required. Once I got it close I just kept trying to install it and trimmed it further until I could get it in. I cut the foam piece off of the original one to help space it up and keep it level. I also used to foam tape to stop some tapping on the boot floor and keep it level when things were on top of it. I stuck the carpet to the mdf (can't remember what I used though). I left the carpet loose up the front section so that you can lift it up and access the hole/handle I cut into it to match the original one. It is a snug fit in/out of the boot with the carpet on the sides folded forward/back.

It all depends what you want though. You may want thicker MDF and or a completely flat boot floor, ie side pieces too.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
