Hi, Just had an annoying problem with an R32 boot lock. The barrel in the boot lock seems to have broken on my r32 this afternoon and i had the lever for the remote opening flicked down. So i cant pop the boot from the lever and now i cant open it with the key. I need to get some things out of the boot so its a real pain. I really need to somehow change the switch on the boot lock so i can pop it from the cabin.

Any ideas anyone?

Seeing that the same lever opens the fuel filler cover, can you get at the cable thru or near that cover, or from inside the rear mudguard? [need to remove the plastic inner guard thingo]

There is no point using the cable as the latch on the boot lock to turn off the remote locking is flicked to the cable is disabled.

Note to self: never flick that switch or get boot lock shaved because it looks cool.

sorry, I'm not mucking around though. ther eis a way. If you take the back seat off, there is this big metal panel underneath the seat. this has about 8 bolts on it. take this off, and you have access to the boot. the whole may be big enough for a small kid to crawl into to flick the switch (if you have a kid), or you can do what I had to do and use a metal rod or a stick to flick it.

Same thing happened to mine

Rear seat comes out with the bottom section first (I think, was a while ago) there are two clip sort of things on the floor which you need to undo. Then you do the same for the top section and pull it up. Have a feel around you'll find them.

Then its smooth sailing, unless you have a rear strut brace like me...

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers

      The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
