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.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).

      Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
