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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
