hi guys,

purchased a 6mt 2004 v35 coupe, the previous owner advised that the battery in the key needed replacing, however when i purchased the car and changed the batteries on both keys the doors do not lock/unlock via the keys remote so atm i am locking/unlocking the doors manually with the key which is a pain in the ass at times...

would you guys know what the problem is? please help

also the door lock switch on the drivers side works however when locking the doors the passanger side does not lock also

look forward to your help so i can get this issue fixed!

drivers door is not meant to lock via the lock button UNLESS I have touched the car then it will. the remote entry is tied to the drivers door only when that works it locks the other side by default.

new remote time btw. make sure you have the immobiliser codes or make a trip to nissan

sorry but im confused arent they meant to lock and unlock both sides cause thats the case in other cars that have that unlock button?

also is it a regular thing for oem v35 central locking remotes to cark it and not work anymore? because i have 2 of them surely they both cant be stuffed? could it be something else?

and if so how much am i looking at for a new remote?

thank you

ka86 so what is the door actuator problem for my drivers side to no lock when pressing the door lock button or for my central locking to not work on the remote?

how much would that be to buy and replace? i really want to get these problems fixed, also need to change my brakes and machine them (brembos) :S

thanks for the help.....( im really a car noob) lol

It is a common problem. The actuator itself is not locking when using the remote. The bushes and rods wear out. That's why you can hear the small click of it triggering but not actually locking. Common problem and a newer OEM version was released. Not saying it is not your remote but it sounds alot like a faulty actuator. It will lock manually right?

Price wise roughly:

There is a DIY fix to mock up new rods but if your not confident than don't try.

And if you search google along the lines of 'G35 Door Actuator problem' or something like that, you will see it's a known problem.

As for insatllation wise, can't say. Depends on where you take it to. Seems to take anywhere between 2-4 hours depending on the person. Different places charge their own hourly rate. Where are you based anyways? You would have to ring around.

I also am having the same issue. It wasn't responding for awhile.. now it is working fine. However I will have to replace the actuator eventually.

My issue was that it didn't work on 2 x OEM remotes and 2x After Market Alarm FOBs. Can't really think of any other reason it is not working. :cool:

hi ka86,

thanks heaps for the useful tips, ive yet to really research door actuator problems but it seems it might be the case however just letting you know that when i press any button on the key fob that i am not hearing any clicking whatsoever so im not too sure if it is an actuator problem altogether.....very frustrating this!

oh and i am based in sydney ay, anyone know if there are any v35 meets held in sydney??? it would be good as i would gain some further knowledge on these awesome cars and check out what other people have

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
