As topic said the fuel door wont open when i press the release button. Im not sure what caused it hadn't hit anything. Anyway i googled it and was a bunch of post of people saying cable issue etc and most of them just got a repair kit which was some little black thing they atttachd to the cable it it somehow fixed the issue. But all those post were for honda civics. Anyone have any suggestions or know if any repair kit would work? plus any places that i can get one? btw 98 r34 skyline if that information is needed. thank!

have you tried hitting it? or yelling at it?
Or spitting at it?

Seriously tho, do what Mitch said.

hahaha spitting at it works all the time for me :D

either do what mitch said to go to a mechanics mate

pull the panel off the boot side, takes a few seconds , then you can move the lever by hand

most likely the little plastic part is broken off, a little epoxy or CA glue and it's fixed for a few years

or the cable fell off ?

common problem if you pull it beyond how far it really needs to to open, shears off the plastic pull tab on the door

can provide a close up photo if required, mine is off right now

Sooo... Did u or did u not look like a tool at the servo coz u couldn't open

it :happy:

mine isnt broken still have the panels off for stereo gear. but the R31 did when I put fuel injector cleaner in 8 years ago, still working after glue , same design

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
