Passenger Door Lock

Hey guys,

Okay picked up my car yesterday (YAY!), and went to a mates place to show him. Anyway he came for a drive to my other mates place... when we got there the door wouldn't open (had been fine all day).

It has an alarm, and central locking of course. But from the sounds I hear (the central locking works) however, the lock mechanism is broken, as the key won't unlock it either.

Only issue is... the door is closed and stuck locked. Does anybody know how I can get it open? I have managed to get the top of the door trim over and I can get a coat hanger in... however I don't quite know what to pull to unlock it... or if I can.

Any suggestions? Ideas? I'd rather not call a lock smith as I know I can do it myself. It's just a matter of knowing how :)

Thanks for any help guys,

Ben

yeh the same thing happened with my 32 what u have to do is spray the lock mechanism wid WD40 by spray it i meen soak the bastard then using the coat hanger in one hand and ur key in the other hand turn the key to unlock the door then push the lach thats attached to the key barell down not up the skylines have a push barrell so only experienced locksmiths can do it i got my mate (whos a locksmith) to come over it took him like 15 min to open it once u get it open then spray the mechanism from the side of the door like a mofo then it should be sweet. this is only a temp fix u'll have to get a new mechanism from nissan or a second hand good one from a wrecker. hope it works for ya

edit: to do this the door trim has to be pulled open so u can see the barrel and the mechanism

Bringing back my thread. The door lock actually has failed (can't open door at all).

I was told by a lock smith they would have to break the loop part that is attached to the body to open it.... I already have a locking mech to replace it and now I have to get a loop for the body.... This sucks.

I'll let you all know how it goes (prices, time, effort etc...). Not something I'm enjoying... I'd rather have a blow gearbox... at least I could just unbolt it :D

Cheers,

Ben

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
