interesting collection of problems you have there....

first thing to check: take off the door trims and have a look at the mechanisms. see if something is jammed/ rusted/ broken.

has the previous owner(s) ever had the keys changed? does the key you have work in the boot?

from what i have found, there are 2 types of key. the normal key (unlocks all doors and boot, starts car, locks glove box) and the valet key (only unlocks doors and starts car).

maybe something got switched or replaced at some point?

how long have you had the car/ this issue?

Ok well ill take off the door trims tonight after work. How much would a new locking system cost roughly?

and im pretty sure the keys havent been changed or swapped because it works in the boot and glove box, ive got a feeling its just the actuall central locking or just the inside the door thats the problem because it sort of slips when i try to lock the door and doesnt catch on so hopefully its nothing too major, i just want to know a price really.

Thanks heaps.

how worn is your key? do you have multiple keys?

i noticed with mine, i only have one key (which turned out to be the valet key so i can't open the boot >.< ) and it was well worn and therefore not always working in the driver's door, but worked fine in the ignition barrel.

got a new key cut for like $10 and it works better in the door, but only a certain way up.

no idea on a new lock. if it is the central locking system/ the motor drives for the central locking, you can pick up new sets fairly cheap from any auto place.

also, get your good friend Mr. WD-40 to help you. spray the crap out of the mechanism see if that helps.

alrighty ill give all that i go and have a look inside the door and hopefully i can fix this crappy problem.

Thanks heaps mate for your help.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
