meshmesh Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 yes i can get my hands behind that part (akwardly) Yes, it's akward & fiddley, but that's where you should find that "steel clip". You wont need to remove any bolts. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/37633-rear-nissan-boot-key-thingie/page/2/#findComment-763423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airzone Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Electronic boot release is easy to install... Jaycar has the kit, and you need a relay too. I've held my solenoid in with cable ties, and it's been there for about 9 months and gets used all the time. Just be careful though - if you set the thing up to pull the cable and not on the actual lock, it can sometimes pop open the fuel cap too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/37633-rear-nissan-boot-key-thingie/page/2/#findComment-763681 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Bringing up an old topic here, but how did you get on with this ferni? I have the same problem, and am looking at replacement/fixing this. Might have to get in contact with a few parts places and see if they have any.

ferni Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 Aurora: I fixed mine by pulling it apart and fitting it back together... As meshmesh said above he ordered from from "The units are identical to those from the standard skyline coupes. I got mine from Mark Gibbs Panel House in QLD for $45 + delivery Tel: 07 3808 8737" There are 2 different types tho - one is the brushed metal finish, another is a clearcoat finish...

Aurora Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I have a Series II R33, so it came with brushed aluminium version. Thanks for the info, will look into the replacement later this week. And you used the image mesh mesh posted as a guide to replacing this?
