Not too sure what your options are, but remember: A DOOR TRIM IS MUCH CHEAP THAN A DOOR AND PAINT, so get in from your passenger door hack the trim to expose the internal door locking mechanism.

But this should really be your last option,

Taking off the door trim is easy just be gental you dont need to force it I think there are three screws on underneath, one in the bottom of the hand thing you use to close the door and one BEHIND the light switchn just get a flat head and gentally wiggle it out but be careful cause if you dont get a good enough grip the plastic might chip off

Where are you located?

A mate of mine is very good with this kind of thing, repairs (the alarm install dude everyone on SAU uses hehe)...

He might be able to help for a affordable fee. So if you feel like a trip to Deer Park lemme know.

edited ....had a double read and now i know what your on about...lol

does your drivers side switch that controls the passengers lock work? can you hear it clicking attempting to unlock? considered taking your drivers trim off to see where the rods are then have a crack at it with a car jacking tool ha or coat hanger on the passengers.

i had the same exact problem in my 4 door 33 GTS, well it sounds like it.

cept mine was driver side haha

anyways what i had to do is :

drill a hole in the door pillar frame (might be a bit diff from the coupes, and stick a bit of metal in there like wire and flick the broken white plastic flicky opening door magiggy.

if you look at the door that works open it up and look in the "<" slot and open and close the handle you should see the flicky thing im talking about...

hope this helps but yeh thats how i had to fix mine, keep in mind it took 4 hours of patient flicking with a piece of wire. if you don't have the patients rip open the door trip and buy new 1 lol

hope this helps

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
