R32 boot questions

ok.. I cleaned out my boot the other day (replacing my subs to increase the limited boot space) and I found out my boot light has been removed (just the bulb) can someone tell me the part number for it as it'd be handy to see my boot at night.

Also with the "ski port" is there meant to be a backing plate? because I don't have one - I can see the foam for the back seats. I believe there should be one. Anyone know where I can get one?

Cheers.

not sure about the part number

but i am pritty sure that its only a cut peice of grey platic that slides in and held by some tabs...looks poor

had the same thing in the back of my r31 gts-x

i thought the person who had it before had just put it there but when i saw the same plastic material in my r32 i came to the conclusion it came from nissan

my 2 cents

mine has the grey plastic panel on the boot side & a bolted in steel panel on the seat side which is, i'm assuming, what you were talking about. the rear seat has to be removed to get the steel panel.

A jap wreckers should be able to sort you out. if not, there is a few lads dismantling r32s in the parts for sale section

hmmm...yeah I think it's the grey plastic thing you guys are talking about. I think I might just get some MDF and cut it to size. I thought it'd be metal or something like that (something strong enough for me to screw my amp into).

thanks for the help guys.

I still need to part number for the bulb. :)

as i said

there is a metal one that goes in the seat side. if you can see the seats from the boot you are missing both the plastic & metal one. the metal plate also has hooks to hold up the centre of the seat so its not just held up at each end.

if you fit the metal one you might lose a little bass from you sub. & occasionally they rattle so you are prob better off without it anyway

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
