http://cars.ebay.com.au/Complete-Boot-Trim-Dash-Matt-To-Suit-R33-Skyline_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ250702361690

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.

bought some MDF, going to trace the flimsy one onto it and cut that shape out. see how i go, Does anyone else have a Hole in the bottom of there boot, In the wheel well. R33. has a little rubber cap for the hole but its loose at and does nothing.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
