Hi guys just got a little problem....

the black lever inside of my car no longer "clicks" so that the bonnet will pull up!

It feels like it has already been pulled out to its limit and is very loose, so to open it i had my wife hold the lever and i opened it from the outside. This is ok >_< but im fussy and would like to get it fixed and keep my car as new and working as much as possible.

Now my questions are

1. how do i look at it from the inside and does anyone have experience in fixing it

or

2.Is it a problem from the outside, were it clicks in?

Apologies before hand if its confusing

Hey Ammon,

With the bonnet up, follow the cable through the firewall. Follow it towards the latch. Before you hit the latch there should be a point where the cable is fixed to the car with a bolt and a small clamp. Loosen this and pull the cable back up to the firewall so the cable is nice and tight/taught and retighten the bolt.

You dont adjust it from inside the car, I also believe you cannot adjust the bonnet striker (too much:). You may be able to try loosening these bolts and retightening to move the bracket a few mm also (only needed if its bent)

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
