R31 Boot :(

[nomadkr]

I've got an R31 with no boot lock (I snapped the key, took the lock out, and never put it back in...)

The manual release doesn't want to work... How can I access the boot

This sucks, all my work stuff is in the boot

best way wuld be to fiddle around in the lok where u broke it done dat on one of mmy mates old car just fiddle with a screw driver to move the latch or if u can be bothered remove rear seats and somehow dis conect the lok if u can reach lol but prob be easier to do it from the outside to fiddle with the lok. let me no how it goes.

u took the lock out and didnt put it back in? so theres still a hole in there? if so there should be a rod/lever of some sort the attaches to the back of the lock, just pull it in every direction and the boot should pop open? if not, rip the back seats out (or fold em down if you can)

Try the back seats, I can't recall if you can remove them and get access to the boot without unbolting them from behind (its been ages since I've touched them).

There is a bar running inside the boot to release it but I'm unsure if you can get to it.

Have you tried the R31 Skyline Club?

You obviously dont have the fold down rear seat otherwise you would have crawled through there?

Remove the back seat or find the rod through the hole.

Is the manual release lever not working coz theres no tension? It might have popped off or previous owner disconnected it to make acessing the boot harder for theives?

Try yanking the release cable with some pliers. If its been disconnected/failed at the boot end then its one of the first two options.

Pull the rear seat base up and out.

2 x 10mm bolts holding back seat in place, remove them, rip the back seat out and climb through
