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

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
