hey guys, have an annoying issue with my v35 coupe.

the drivers door wont lock or unlock with the remote. i can use the key but this gets a little annoying after awhile.

Is this a common problem? if so is there anyone who has experience fixing this? i just dont have the time nor the space to fix this issue myself.

if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

cheers, alex

Hi Alex, i did have that issue a couple of days back.....eventually i found that my boot was not locked properly...simply opened the boot and closed it....the key started to work fine....i am not sure if this will fix your issue...just give it a go....

hi guys

thanks for all of your replies. i have tried the boot a few times yet no luck, i would say that actuator is dead.

The car has had this issue since i bought it around 4 months ago.. i sure hope the passenger side dosnt break too lol.

ok i will email chris rogers and find out what they are worth. does he fit them also?

Search around on SAU - this topic has been posted dozens of times before. There is also a YouTube video of how to replace your oem actuator with an aftermarket one.

Hey Chris, what would be the proper fix for this? Would there be a permanent fix? Wouldnt the replacement door actuator evetually crap itself and you'll have to replace it again?

bit of a redundant question when you think about it. they are service parts. they are meant to fail at some point in the cars life and given most of these cars are 7-8 yrs old when you get them I do not see that as too bad a thing given the amount of use they would have over that time. you are getting these cars half way through their life. things are going to break. repari them proerply using proper OEM parts and they will last another 8-10 yrs. by that time you will have all moved on and bought other cars. (unless you are like me and keep things for years on end)

half arsing things on them is simply asking for more trouble in my eye. you do not own a 1975 datsun 120 Y here. you own what was a $90k car when it was new and as such parts will need to be replaced on them when they fail

we all know the electrics are done by renault and as such the are a tad expensive and unreliable after several years of use. to me that's life and part of owning one of these cars.

my immediate thoughts are this:

if you have one thing in that door fails do both sides and do EVERYTHING in it. now that may not be your cup of tea but from a point of ripping the thing down several times to change things that break it certainly makes it a lot simpler if you do it all at once.

my 2c.

I got this problem sorted out on my car a few weeks ago. Not wanting to have any complications i decided to get it done through my local Nissan dealer.

The drivers door lock actuator cost me $315 and a flat rate of $190 to install it. Much cheaper than the usual $120 per hour rate they usually charge.

It took them about 3 hours to get it all sorted and align the window correctly.

At the end of the day its up to you. I decided to get it done at Nissan but that's me..

Many people on the forum have completed this job successfully themselves but as per Chris's FAQ Section, this is not a simple DIY

Cheers

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
