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

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
