I'll keep it nice and short. I locked my car keys in :P, I left them in the ignition with the radio turned on and went to plays sports. When I realized that I locked my self out, I called the RAA. They came around and could not open the drivers side door. It is a 4 door R33. The rear and passenger side doors open, but I can't open my drivers side door even with the key now. Does any body know what the f is going on? Please help.

on mine my key has to be in a very exact position before the drivers door will open

The thing is the key does open all the other doors even when used at the drivers side lock, it just rebounds back and locks them all again. Even when I'm inside and push the lock nob to open, it opens all the other doors (except drivers side) but then rebounds and locks them again. Its so god damn annoying that I'm almost ready to cut the trim out and see what the hell is going on :P !

have you tried disconnecting the battery, then trying the key?

might be central locking gone mad, and not having power run through it could do the trick.... if the central locking motor has seized, u might have to sacrifice a door trim.

::::EDIT::::

judging by ur other post, the motor may have seized, or the relay has gone tits up

Yeah, I tried the battery trick. Still the same story.

I guess I'm looking for a door trim now or a price on getting this door working again :banana:. Either way I got to do something, luckily It's a weekend car.

Anyway thanks for your help.

With the battery disconnected. Try the key in the door, at worst you may have to hold the key in the unlock position whilst opening the door. The door should open.

If this is what you tried then it sounds like you are up for a new lock mechanism.

Or if you are lucky it might be that the RAA guy has just bent something.

Best of luck

ive had this happen on my passanger door also, its a loose wire clip that holds the auto lock mechanism together. I had to pull the exterior trim out carefully and mess around with a coat hanger to hold the wire in a certain position where i could open the damn door.

just take your door trim off and follow the locking wire all the way back to the servo, im sure youll find where the problem is.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
