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....

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.

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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
