R34 Boot Lid

Hey,

A while ago my boot lid open leaver in the car stopped working.. the boot still opens with the key, and when open. when leaver is pulled, the latch still moves and functions corretly...

Im assuming the gas struts might be worn out, which is causing the weight of the boot to cause it to stop opening but its getting annoying..

any ideas??

cheers

may be the weight of wing.. do you have wing on your boot?

i have similar problem

when i open the boot with lever next to the driver seat and got out of car and close the door, the boot lock itself...

when you open the boot it doesnt pop up because weight of wing. one i detached the wing and tried, the boot pops up..

i was thinking buy a new strong gas strut and reinstall them but i thought it is useless... anyway.. all im doing is open up the boot

with lever and open the boot before i close the front door... so may be it is very funny if someone look at me lol

close the front door and same time i ran to the side of car and grap a wing and open up the boot..

but if your lever doesnt work... maybe the connection between lever to boot opener...

cheers

had the same problem when i got my boot enclosure done. My dad played around with the latch in the boot clicking it in out and making sure it was all in line properly and it works fine now... play round with the latch first...

i have the same problem as well.. one person has to pull the latch while another lift the boot up at the same time.. otherwise use a key to open it.. never used to be like that..

i'm assuming it's worn out gas struts.. oh.. and i got a wing on it as well..

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
