hey guys, ive locked myself out of the boot of my r33 gts-t skyline. was messing about with the lock, as my key will not open the boot and now neither will my boot release as ive locked it with the lever. is the key that opens the boot the same key used in the ignition, or is it seperate? i was only given a single key with the car. also, do i have to take the back seats off to get into the boot, or do they slide down like a normal car? i cant seem to find any lever for them...

To get in via the rear you need to remove seat, remove sound proofing mat stuff, remove the plate which has about 20 bolts then climb in past the battery if you can, I suppose its not stupid hard but it wont be fun.

there is a little black lever on the boot lock that when in position "A" let the release in the car open it and when in position "B" it wont open via the release only a key. Its designed this way so that you can put stuff in the boot, put the lever in "B" and if someone gets into the car they can not open the boot.

Quite often gets hit by accident and people lock them selfs out because at some stage the door locks were replaced but not the boot so their key wont work.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
