I went to take the Skyline (R33 S2) for a spin. I put the key in the lock and nothing! I couldn't get it unlocked. I went over to the passenger side and the same thing. I tried the boot and it opened no problems.

Have my locks been sabotaged or is my central locking (no remote) playing funny buggers???

What are my options? Any help would be appreciated.

Update. I just disconnected the battery to see if the locks were some how being held shut but no difference.

could be a little worn try giggling the key as you turn it, works for me when my doors wont unlock. otherwise just break in or if you dony know how call your roadside assist for your state or a locksmith

Have you got/had an after market alarm? If slave motors have been added to your doors this could be your problem if they have seized up or have a fault. If you have them and don't use keyless entry anymore you may be able to disconnect.

The locks should work even without the alarm ? Unless its been so long the lock barrel is crusted and won't turn or i think 1 lock actuator failed from siezing in my lifetime and it had sand and salt from no window seal mind you the rusted door bottom you could shoove a finger thru

actuators fail for these reasons , loose and rod sliding ,wired wrong, blown fuse, hitting something installed later like speakers or ? , door trim rubbing, on older cars like AU r31 the lock buttons get stuck , silicone spray fixed again for a year poor design, even relay failure is extremely low most of the time its due to crusty terminals not the relay itself

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
