Need A Little Bit Of Help, *r32 Boot/fuel Cap Release Related*


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I snapped my boot realease cable bout 6 months ago.

This morning I woke up and decided to make an atempt at fixing it but I think Ive made it much worse instead.

If theres anyone out there who has had a similar problem and know a way of fixing it then that would be much apreciated. Im willing to travel.

How it sits now, Ive Soldered the cable back together, it seemed strong enough, but somehow Ive pulled to much slack on the cable, so ive connected it back up to the lever but it's pretty much useless because its too lose.

Thanks guys.

Just chop some off, and re-attached it.

Although "too much" slack there shouldnt be.

If i recall, the cable is internal to the car, so pull the side trims off and lift the carpet to see whats going on?

Does the lever still pull the cable, or has it totally stopped working?

leaver works but its useless coz theres an abundance of cable sorta curled up next to it, amazing how strong the solder join was, but i might of pulled alot excess cable from inside the cavity, its got me stumped.

    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
    • If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
