Hi Guys,

anyone want a carbon fibre boot lid for their R35 GTR. Happy to sell at cost.

I bought this from hong kong from Carbon Stone. Just has just arrived and it is all timber boxed up ready to ship back out to someone who would like it.

It is surplus to my needs, as i mounted my new wing directly to the OEM lid.

pic here is from carbon stones web site.

my lid was ordered with mounting holes for hinge only and no holes for the wing so you can add any wing you like.

Bill

My costs were $1494. But i would take offers over $1000. For those thinking of changing there wing i thought it would be easier to change the wing than swap boot lids. I was wrong. The OEM wing had to come off in 3 parts as it is held onto the OEM boot with the screws that we can see but also clips and adhesive. This makes it a difficult and time consuming task to change wings. Also removes OEM colour coded stickers, which i'm still trying to find from Nissan. So to refit the OEM wing will be a PITA. It cost me $800 at the shop to remove OEM and install the aeromotions wing. So swapping boots with wing installed starts looking like an attractive proposition. If only i knew.

If anyone is keen i can open the crate and take actual photos. Im sure it looks better in real life.

The new feet on the R2 wing are optional and don't have to be mounted with the uprights. Therefore producing a cleaner line and finish. I asked about any extra reinforcement required for the R2 wing and it seems that it is only required for the S2.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By GTR_JOEY · Posted

      6 foot 91kg.   Thanks Brett, ill have a look into them!   Whoa 197 haha, I'm about 182 but not that far behind you in weight. My back is probably a little wider than most people my size and weight so I would most certainly need the XL seat by the sounds of it.  The car is insured to drive 1000km a year (might up that at some stage) but it would likely take me at least 5 years before I would ever get close to 15,000km. If I don't buy the real ones I kind of feel like I'm cheaping out though lol Spent all this money on good quality parts every where else just to cheap out on the seats? probably my OCD.  I did find these guys who are more local to me and have copy seats in stock.  https://vosta.com.au/collections/reclining-bucket-seats/products/japan-stadia-ii-gradation Or if I want to go genuine   https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/brand/bride-racing/?srsltid=AfmBOooYKfh5btzB8-ezRTTokM0AqQ3GyWKcfutaMRWBzosRLNSFQhLt

      Good. I was worried we were still talking about the block. Yes, larger baffled sump is a good idea. Do not touch the pump unless you're going on a whole build saga. Read the oil control thread on here - at least the last 100 pages or so. We drew some reasonable things together in there. The short version is that venting the sump is more important than almost anything else you do.

      Perhaps just get a proper mechanic who is good with Nissan autos (they were more or less the same across all the RWD, FWD, 4WD cars at that time, even if they were actually different boxes) to give it a good going over. He might be able to plug in a Consult or other scan tool and find out if it's got some fault codes. Otherwise, my approach to the problem if not liking the way the auto was workign behind my RB20 turbo, was to drop it on the workshop floor and put in the manual box that it really needed. That solved all the auto problems.

      Gotcha, I mean that is at least good to hear. Are there signs, or troubleshooting tips to make sure the transmission is operating properly?
