Well, sometime over the last week some f*ckwit has taken the badge that covers the boot lock... only discovered it today but understandably I am not very happy. There is no way it would just fall off because it was not at all loose.

Anyway, not much I can do about it, but I would like to get another one. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on one from?? Would Nissan have one or would I need to find someone who is wrecking an R33?

Also, Im sure many of you have suffered the same fate and I would like to know are they easy enough to put back on??

Cheers. Hope the a$$hole get's hit by a bus.

I have a boot lock cover for sale. much cheap than getting it shaved. Plus, with it shaved, if your boot popping mechanism ever breaks, that's a back seat out job to access it, and there is no way you can remove the batt and crawl into the boot through that little port hole to fix it. That is, compared to just sticking the key in to open it, and working on the popper from the boot itself.

Mine dissapeard 2 weeks after I bought it. 5 years later its still not replaced. Since it had snapped off I couldnt just get it replaced, or glued back on because then it would flip up anymore, and then there was all the hassle of getting new lock barrels, and getting them keyes back to the origional key, etc.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
