hey all,

just posting this for reference more than anything

saturday just gone, me and the missus were heading down to jamberoo with her family for the day it started out ok until i accidentally closed my back door on a bag strap... i realised what i had done but having that electric mechanism in it, it had already started pulling itself shut... after that it wouldnt open and upon further inspection i found the bag strap had actually gotten itself stuck under the latching mechanism... as to not damage anything out of frustration or panic i decided to leave it... the next day, with a clear head i decided to investigate the problem... the only way to access the latch and motor is to carefully take off the top plastic followed by the moulded hard carpet skin... once that was off i could clearly see the actual linkage that connects the handle and the latch had fallen out... the only thing that i can think of what caused the problem is when the cable went to give the door closer some slack to tighten closed the cable had become too loose and popped the linkage open...

in 15 minutes i had the problem fixed and the skin and plastics back on... so if this happens to you dont bother sending it to a mechanic and getting charged an hours labour its a pretty easy fix

hope this helps

Cheers

Rick

Nice tip. Do you realize that you can use that mentality for almost everything related to fixing the car? All it takes is some common sense, patience and a bit of skill and you can do most mechanical repairs on your car. And i bet you'll do it better than most mechanics out there - since it's your car and you are more careful on your car than anyone else.

But don't take my word for it. After all, I'm just a mechanic...

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
