Any help, suggestions and advice welcome.

So I want to fit an R34 Gtt wing onto my R33. I want to get a spare bootlid and mount this wing onto the back of it.

Questions:

1) How do the locks work? Can I interchange the bootlids (my current one and this new one) which will naturally have a different lock and key and simply bolt on.

2)Is it possible to get away with not having a lock? Will the bootlid just sit closed or will it bounce open etc? (sorry if this sounds really stupid - but I have no clue) In this case I would simply patch up the hole (weld a bit of metal) and paint over it.

Any other ideas???

Thanks

the lock can be removed and just have it open with the internal release beside drivers seat...

but I dont think the r34 wing will suit the r33 as the 33 bootlid is not flush as the 34 is...

have you sat the 34 wing on there to see how it looks? post some pics

It looks awesome...i plan on making it flush first and then mounting the wing..if u look at my build thread i have explained the plan..also are you saying that if i buy a bootlid with no lock it will bolt straight in and clip lock?

Theres 2 parts to the locking mechanism on a boot. The actual locking barrel where your key goes in and the catch that actually clips shut around the little anchor in the beaver panel. The barrel is connected to the catch via a metal rod that when the key is turned in the barrel pulls a lever in the catch causing it to unlock/release. If you get another boot lid you can simply remove your barrel from your existing lid and put it in the new lid and connect it to the catch on the new lid with the rod. Once you pull the trim off and have a look it will all make sense.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • 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.
