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?

    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
    • with the car running (runs fine when temp is cold), I unplugged the MAF and the car stalled.  I have already cleaned it a week ago.  I unplugged the O2 sensor from the left side of the vehicle, and the car was still running.  I let it idle for about 5-7 minutes and shut it off, to see if it would restart, and it did not.  It cranks but doesn't start after engine temp gets up to normal range.   I still need to look at the coolant temp sensor, is this one at the top or bottom of the radiator? Or is it one of the sensor threaded into the T-stat housing?
