Ok guys I have no idea who I can go to about this bout I figure if I post this thread someone will atleast give me an idea.

I need to re wire my boot release/petrol cap cable as mine has snapped, and also "maybe" redo my bonnet release cable too as it feels like that could be going soon.

If anyone has an experience with this PLLEEASSEE reply to this thread.

Im working flat out at the moment and don't have much time to pull the everything out to find out exactly the parts I need.

So basically im askin for advice and possibly if someone would be kind enough to acompany me to a wrecked skyline or something to show me which parts Id need to take etc.

Car is an R32.

Posted in maintance a few months ago, got no replys, I thought if I posted it here id have a better chance of catching someone local who could help out.

Cheers Mav, Ive had a look under the carpet, My biggest concern is wrecking a mounting bracket or something, My boot is flakey as it is (Someone tryed to break into it by wedging a screw driver under the boot lid, f**ked the lock), so I was hoping Someone with some knowledge of it could help me just cane threw it as aposed to me doin trial and error and probably f**king something up worse.

Infact thats how I made the boot release worse in the first place haha, the petrol cap was still working fine untill I had a shot at fixing it and now its f**ked too.

hey mate,

i had a similer problemin my r31 were my boot release would not work (wasn't the cable in the end but changed it any way).

you will need the following,

one boot release cable (u'rs broke right)

you will need to located were the cable runs, my was from the driver's seat up the side of the car in to the boot and followed around till the boot lock.

i did have to remove the rear seats and front seat to get under the carpet.

i then removed the cable its quite easy. then replaced the cable in the same way i pulled it out.

i then adjusted the boot lock (the bottom one) to get the boot to work properly and site right.

all up too about 1 hour in total.

should be fairly the same as the r31.

hope this helps

Im pretty sure it just from wear over time,

Redline - Thanks heaps for the help, I was figuring that, I dunno with R31s, but the release cable controls both the boot and petrol cap.

You rekon there is any place I can source one of these out other than waitin for a wrecked R32 to pop up?

yea thats the same for r31 you push down on the leaver and it opens the fuel flap and pull up to open the boot.

your best bet would be a wrecker that wrecks r32 or look in the for sale section here.

you could even try and r31 (common as s at wreckers or being wrecked on r31skylineclub.com) and see if it fits.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
