R34 GTT boot gas struts

Bought these gas struts from a wrecker for $100 thinking my own ones are faulty, on account of boot lid not fully lifting up on release of the catch. But later found out that with the heavy spoiler all R34 boot lids act the same. Will let go for $75 Negotiable

My loss your gain!

Possibly interested as my boot doesn't open and i thought it was my struts like you did.

What rear wing are you running? The reason I ask is that I'm running an oem gtr spoiler and it's not opening

Cheers

It still got an OEM GTT wing on it. So yours should be even lighter. When I release the boot catch from the lever inside the car the boot lid only lift up few inches and if I close the door bit hard it goes back in and re-closes itself. I expected it to be like any other car where the lid would lift up at least halfway. But it seems with R34s that has a wing on it, few inches is all we could expect.

Nissan Skyline R34 GTT OEM coil packs

Recently changed coil packs to brand new Split Fires. Removed these OEM ones at 75k on the clock. Might suit someone who wants to swap out one or more OEM coil packs. 

$100 Negotiable

R34s shipped with spoilers have a strut with a different part number to those shipped without (different pressures I imagine). They shouldn't be relocking themselves when you close the front door hard enough - at least my first gtt didn't. The part number for struts for that one is 84431-AA185.

My new gtt does the same thing as yours now. And from the factory it didn't have the spoiler (has been put on afterwards) and will close itself if I shut the driver hard enough. Part number for it is 84431-AA125 - which we probably both want to replace with the first one.

Anyway, I'm interested in trying the struts, especially if they're meant for a gtt with a spoiler. Would you take $50?

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
