Hi All

Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem before.

My boot isn't releasing when i pull the driver side lever. It does open however, with the key.

I've tightened the rear slider thing, according to the workshop manual but still nothing.

I'm pretty sure the mechanism moves, as I put a screw driver there on balance, and pulled the lever, it fell over. So the mechanism is still moving.

Any other ideas?

R32 and R33 have a valet mode that only lets you open the boot with the key. There is a lever on the side of the catch - try flincking it to the other location.

this has happened with my R34 too, had no idea what was wrong with it, but called up a mechanic and he said the cables were munted and it would cost hundreds to fix as i'd have to pull out half the interior ....

if theres a quicker way to fix this please let me know :P

      So you're telling me this is an external fuel pump? I've had the car for at least 6 years now and it's been there the entire time. I had the car tuned a couple years ago and I had the shop do the fuel system, including a new in-tank Proflow 340 which shit itself about a year later and I replaced it with the same model. I find it odd that they didn't remove this or even make mention of it. I seriously had no idea what it was. How would I test if it's functioning?

      Don't take it as a guarantee. It's all a game of statistics. And on top of that, smooth over a thick layer of "quality of spanner spinning" as a further Gaussian curve of probability of failure. You play games at anything above ~400 HP, and you're using up margins in terms of engineering and luck.

      Aye, everything is being touched and all the parts that are responsible for the oiling issues are also fixed. (Crank collar, billet prp oil pump, head return to sump, yada yada yada)  Everything used is of reputable brands like greddy, prp etc. My tuner did mention we’d keep the torque on the “lower” side.   glad to read that my engine won’t blow up on me lmao

      It's a fuel pump. EFI, high pressure, but specs otherwise unknown. A bodge job.

      800 engine horsies is fine. Will need all the obvious upgrades. Rods, pistons, oil pump, big sump, sump breathing mods. Build for revs because revs are power with less stress on the bottom end compared to boost. Keep the torque down in the midrange, either by limiting boost or timing.
