Hey, just bought myself a 1993 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS. It has a remote central locking system with alarm. I recently tried unlocking the car with remote as usual, the drivers side door opens like normal but the passenger side door seems to be locked shut. It makes a clicking noise like its trying to open but remains locked. Tried opening with remote, with keys and while holding the door handle open. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Thanks Justin

Just to clarify here, the door does still unlock/lock when using the key?

Sounds to me as if the door motor is shagged.but being a factory one in there still id be soprised if it is.i have never seen one die.

Pull your door trim off and inspect all the linkages and make sure its all good.manual lock and unlock it so you can see how its soposed to work.

No, it doesn't unlock when using the key either. Yeah I guess i'll take the trim off and have a look whats going on underneath.

Hey im having the same problem with my 33. Was wondering how u got the trim off without being able to open the door? have u got it fixed yet?

    • 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.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
