Faulty boot release.-

Hi all, 

I'm in the uk and thought i would try you boys in Australia for some help as my 2004 skyline 350gt is a rare car here in the uk.- 

My boot release.- doesn't work by using the remote or switch on the dash

'I'm been thought my G35 disc and the Haynes manual and have worked out the Body Control unit sends a positive fed to boot lock to unlock. Also the dash release switch connects to earth and when pressed sends negative to the BCU to tell it to open boot. When i press the boot release on the remote i can hear a click from steering wheel area so i know it's receiving the signal ok.

My problem is the G35 isn't the same then it comes to wiring colours/position of pins in plugs and the boot release isn't in Haynes. I've rechecked all cables which fed into the boot ( i replaced every cable last year) and all fine. I have checked every wire one by one which connects to the BCU for the positive unlock boot fed when i press the remote and dash switches and nothing! I have also checked every wire for a negative fed from dash switch and again nothing.

So i thinking the BCU is faulty!

Any one have correct wiring details for a import? Any other ideas?

Thanks

Oh shit, how are you going to get in the boot!

 

Fingers crossed we get some replys.

Tell me about it, not good, I was thinking about wot u said n wen u said u run a positive from Battery to the lock it works, so my question is how do I do that ? "Run a positive" wots that, wot to use ? N where about on the lock do u attach it ? 

I didn't no u could do that but I'll give it a go that's for sure, if u can help me 57jam of cause.

Eager to hear back from u cheers brother.

It's basic electrics, so any auto electrician whose workshop doesn't look like a barnyard will be fine, I'm sure. Definitely the safest thing to do because if you don't understand low voltage electrics at a basic level, you could end up doing way more damage than just a snapped steel release cable.

There's no dark art to these things. It's button, solenoid, wiring or BCM. In 57jam's case, he seems to have ruled out wiring, buttons and solenoid. That's not a promising sign from a cost point of view.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
