still stuck shut.....do i have to remove the back seats or can i drill the lock out. Aim for the midddle of the lock and drill it out ?
Call a lockswith, to open the boot (ie: break in), then get them to make the boot lock work with your key.

:P

Easiest would be to just take off the back seats and open the panel. Then flick the switch.

I've done it before on another car.

I've taken the back seats in an r33 out in 10 minutes. Removing the panel took <5 minutes. Use a short pole to flick the lever and bob's your auntie. Then you can take it to the locksmith to have the lock repaired.

Imagine if you were standing outside your car and you have the lid open.

Right in the middle of the bottom section (on the inside), there is a little plastic flap. Inside there, there's a little switch. it's piss easy to flick.

No, you don't have to get in the boot. you won't be able to anyways.

like I said, i just used a pole to flick it (not on my car, my car's perfect and nothing ever goes wrong. was on my mate's r33).

So use a pool perhaps a flat screwdriver on the end of the pool taped to it?

i'm in a similar situation and i got no idea what to do...

my friend slammed the boot lid with god knows what on his mind, and now i can't open it using the lever near the drivers door or the key to open it from the actual boot! the key just turns, and comes to a stop in the position where the boot should be open, but the boot doesn't open. you can hear it un-latching off something, but im not sure if thats just the spring making a noise in the keyhole or the acutal lock. if it was that little switch that tripped then they key would over ride it (i'mm 99% sure im right on that bit). but the damn thing won't open even with the key!

any suggestions??

fixed the problem! =) .. had 2 other people help. while one held the key in the unlocked position, me and the other friend pulled from both sides and it just popped open.. but took a bit of effort! wasn't easy.. working fine now so far.. lets hope no one slams it again =s

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
