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.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
