Hey guys, I snapped my boot realease cable bout 6 months ago.

This morning I woke up and decided to make an atempt at fixing it but I think Ive made it much worse instead.

If theres anyone out there who has had a similar problem and know a way of fixing it then that would be much apreciated. Im willing to travel.

How it sits now, Ive Soldered the cable back together, it seemed strong enough, but somehow Ive pulled to much slack on the cable, so ive connected it back up to the lever but it's pretty much useless because its too lose.

Thanks guys.

Just chop some off, and re-attached it.

Although "too much" slack there shouldnt be.

If i recall, the cable is internal to the car, so pull the side trims off and lift the carpet to see whats going on?

Does the lever still pull the cable, or has it totally stopped working?

leaver works but its useless coz theres an abundance of cable sorta curled up next to it, amazing how strong the solder join was, but i might of pulled alot excess cable from inside the cavity, its got me stumped.

      Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?

      Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎

      Cool, I’m just down Sydney today. Not much time to get online.

      Yep, all good ~ the spare AC fan here, I think has a dead armature segment (I didn't pull it apart to verify, as there's plenty of AC fans out there that can be fitted to the R31)...I'll get some pics of the exterior trim pieces...
