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.

    • I found a supplier for an arm in NZ. https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-rh-side?srsltid=AfmBOopMdfCFDc_8yVZZ9kq5nIngPHRTBzUU8v4SAptJaRO52Wjs0bC6 I looked closely at the photo of that one and the Z1 arm, and it's the same bloody arm. Scratches all match in the photo 😂 How hard is it to change that joint? Also they seem to be listing two options https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-balljoint-rh-side?_pos=1&_sid=229acde44&_ss=r And now I have no idea what size I'd need yay
    • Ill review it again, from memory when I first saw some of Trailer Park Boys I wasn't a huge fan. I ended up at Letter Kenny after watching Shoresy, which is a bit ass backward, ha ha
    • "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD
    • I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.  
    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
