the back seats in 32s do not fold down. to get into the boot from the cabin you have to remove the rear seat, then unbolt the rear firewall, then try and reach in there/crawl in there.

Hmm I has this problem once where the key didnt seem to work after i had the car panelbeated. This was with my R33. The cable release worked ok tho. I saw this little lever in the boot near the lock were the cable is attached and thought that maybe this has soemthing to do with it. So yeah flicked that level to the other position and closed the boot. :(

The dam key still didn't work. Tried the cable release and now that didn't work :P

Well i learned what the lever did anyways.

Had to remove the whole back seat then the cover panel behind the seat to see into the boot. A nearby broom handle was the weapon of choice and i managed to flick the lever in the boot back into its oither position and get the boot open.

Anyways. I wouldn't want to just have cable only on the boot cos it might just break or something one day.

I am going to try and connect up a central locking solenoid to open the boot. Then i will have key/cable/solenoid.

yeah basically pull the bottom half of the seat up then remove the 2x 10mm bolts that hold the top half on

would be a mission to get through the firewall hole, doable though, even use a stick, you only need to hit the bootlock

I've shaved mine off, what you could do, is put in a high stop light with lockable screws(or star screws with a screwdriver that only you have)

then if the cable does brake, remove the high stop light, put your finger down and flick the lock

I'd just be worried taht someone might do that to mine if i did it,

ScreamingSkyline on this forum has done it on his, looks very nice :(

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
