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.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
