Hi there, I have an R32 GT-R which was recently broken into, and they broke my door handle and pushed in the lock to gain entry. It's almost back together now that I've found all the parts. Question is how do i replace the drivers side exterior door handle? I can't seem to find it on the forums or elsewhere online. Thanks

well that sucks, good to see you still have the car....

You need to remove the internal door trim. There may be a DIY somewhere, but if not there are screws around the perimeter and one in the handle in the pull middle of the door. everywhere else are push in clips (pry carefully so as not to break them) and then pull upwards to pull it out of the window channel. Then move the plastic out of the way.

The handle is held on by 2 nuts (10mm head) but you will also need to carefully unhook the push rods that link to central locking and between the lock and the barrel.

If you want to retain the original key combination in the new lock then take the new lock and your original key to a lock service and they can change the combination of the lock to match your key.

If you have the key code number from the original key it is even better as they can set the combination to be exact and not just match your worn key,

This way you do not have to change all of the locks in your car or have multiple keys.

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
