Hi, Just had an annoying problem with an R32 boot lock. The barrel in the boot lock seems to have broken on my r32 this afternoon and i had the lever for the remote opening flicked down. So i cant pop the boot from the lever and now i cant open it with the key. I need to get some things out of the boot so its a real pain. I really need to somehow change the switch on the boot lock so i can pop it from the cabin.

Any ideas anyone?

Seeing that the same lever opens the fuel filler cover, can you get at the cable thru or near that cover, or from inside the rear mudguard? [need to remove the plastic inner guard thingo]

There is no point using the cable as the latch on the boot lock to turn off the remote locking is flicked to the cable is disabled.

Note to self: never flick that switch or get boot lock shaved because it looks cool.

sorry, I'm not mucking around though. ther eis a way. If you take the back seat off, there is this big metal panel underneath the seat. this has about 8 bolts on it. take this off, and you have access to the boot. the whole may be big enough for a small kid to crawl into to flick the switch (if you have a kid), or you can do what I had to do and use a metal rod or a stick to flick it.

Same thing happened to mine

Rear seat comes out with the bottom section first (I think, was a while ago) there are two clip sort of things on the floor which you need to undo. Then you do the same for the top section and pull it up. Have a feel around you'll find them.

Then its smooth sailing, unless you have a rear strut brace like me...

      So you can then buy a more expensive, less reliable, more boring and slower replacement that's harder to work on and you have no knowledge of?

      Will take much better photos when the time comes, I still want to do a sub 1m50s on street tyres at SMSP (just because). Then will slap on proper tyres and see if the car can get down to 1m40~45s range. If it goes sun 1m40s without aero, then wow.. but I don't expect the shit box to go that fast.

      I have the OS Giken R3C with the GM 26 spline input shaft in my 32(Rb32 with only around 750hp atw) and its a pig to drive. Its actually very forgiving when its cold when when its warmed up, it chirps the tires even when trying to take off slowly. Mind you though, part of this has to do with my clutch master(Non-OEM) so the travel on the rod is shorter. How did you get 1130hp at 85% @e50?! Are you running a stroker? If so, I would recommend the R3C purely because it handles the abuse.

      First time trying out a regularity format at the Peter Hall Memorial 6hr. It was an interesting experience with everyone on our team being brand new to the format. Safe to say reading and understanding the rules and scoring system would have really helped our team. We finished firmly last thanks to the majority of all laps across the team being penalties. In the words of my teammate Matt “Turns out we are both too quick and illiterate.” Another car had entered before us and already secured number 12 so i needed to clearly cross them out to avoid confusion for any other blue calsonic livery'd r32s at the event. The team consisted of an R32, an AE86, a supercharged V35, and a Kia CEED GT bought at salvage. I ensured we all had matching "Peer Pressure Racing" banners and overalls. This is the longest session of back to back hot laps the car has ever done (20mins no cool downs on a hot day).  It was a true test of the cooling /oil control mods and they certainly made big difference! Enjoy watching me lose 14 concurrent points for the team:  Unfortunately I only managed 45mins of track time over 3 sessions (20min, 20min, 5min) out of my allotted 90mins before my gearbox let go. Something related to shifter fork resulting in 3rd being neutral quickly followed by all gears neutral, then it being lock in two gears at once and unable to move. Optimistically there were no bad noises. But I am yet to pull box out and diagnose. Fortunately i was also to snag a tow home while I slapped a permit on the Kiaa which came on a trailer
