I assume by "it wont unlock either" you mean that it is locked right now...

that would be why it doesn't open, so the question is why is the door stuck locked?

Have you tried both using a key and the latch on the inside of the door?

either way, you may have to attempt to take off the door trim and have a look at the locking mechanism, something may be caught in there or it may have rusted/ jammed for some other reason.

but i would say have a look and go from there.

(edit for spelling)

sure is locked now have tried key and inside latch but no go.

but using the key and the latch it will only unlock the the latch (part you can see on the door trim) halfway.

any help on how to get the interior door trim off with breaking it with the door closed ??

also has anyone else had this happen to them ? how did you fix it ?

i dont think u can take off the trim while the door is closed? coz the three screws to remove the door trim are between the bottom of the interior and the door. but not 100% sure...

i also had this problem with mine but i put a little force and shook the key while turnin and it opened. but i dont think its the same prob as urs

how bout you remove the thing that surrounds the door opener inside? once its out you might have a little small space too put ur finger and do something lol

you just have to remove a screw i think in the middle and then unclip the surround carefully

were you able to get the door trim off at all?

was thinking that you may be able to do it if you take out the front seat. would be a lot of effort, but i think it's coming to the point of trying all options. taking the seat out should let you get to the screws at the bottom, and you mentioned before that you were able to get the top part unhooked. just don't forget the couple of screws through the centre of the door in the arm rest thing.

worst case, you may need to damage your door trim to get it off.. but a door trim costs less than a door if it comes to it.

This happened to mine not 3 days ago. Although I could open my door so no probs.

Start by pulling out the door handle/lock surround on the inside. No screws, just a few little clips. This will allow you to grab the steel rod with a pair of pliers/vice grips and will give you more pulling power without the risk of breaking the plastic lock switch or door handle.

Mine was simply a small piece of plastic jammed into place preventing the mechanism from opening. Don't know where it came from but I removed it and all was well so f@#k it.

Anyways try to unlock and open the door this way first. If it is just something jammed in place, the extra force may budge it just enough, as the plastic handles will not allow as much force to be applied.

FORCE: Sometimes it's the only way. Other times it just seems like a good idea at the time, and can be fun when frustrated.

I'M trying to think without going and looking but cant you wind the window down and use a coat hanger or something to get at the lock mecanism?

Or If the inside lock tab thingy is only opening halfway then something is obviously blocking it, i would try to open and close the inside lock tab fast and slow and hit the door firmly but not to hard to see if it unlocks.

Worth a try. :kiss:

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

      Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
