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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
