Can't Move Dead R34?

Newbie question (I'm guessing), but my r34's battery's dead but it won't seem to get into neutral (or leave park). Need to move the car under cover and managed to park it spectacularly badly, so that can't actually jumpstart it with another car.

The car just makes that ticking noise when I try to start it and the battery dies pretty quickly on average, so I'm pretty damn sure it's the battery (radio & clock still works, just car won't start). The gearstick locks up though and can't get it out of park.

Will probably take battery out and charge it with a charger thingy if nothing else works, any advice welcome!

just tried again, yeah with my foot on the brake it goes into neutral, but pushing it is an absolute bitch, I swear it was nowhere this immobile last time.

soooo I'm charging an extra battery and am going to jump start off that. plenty of petrol in the car, so should be fine, just gotta wait for the chaaarge.

oh yeah, I'm in WA.

      That could very well be the thermistor, but the ECU only sees Volts. VDO don't seem to provide a 0-5 volt curve, only the resistance curve.... (or line).

      Yes. Probably, given that there is only access from the bottom end of it, go with a drill bit. Don't start too small. 7 or 8mm is probably the right size. You want something that can make a big enough hole to do some damage, but not so bit that it clashes with the steel or binds up and breaks your wrist. A slow speed is probably a good idea too. Once the rubber is destroyed, you then have to get the crush tube off the stud, which will be the whole heat/oil/cutting exercise all over again, but this time with the need to strictly avoid damaging the stud (any further than the corrosion might already have done.

      We replaced the connector just because we could and it was still there, once we swapped the injectors around it stopped. The injectors were something I had thoughts of replacing even before I first started the engine and in hindsight I should have

      Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.

      I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
