Driver's Door Lock Jammed!

[kools]

Da missus' car is a R30 sedan. We picked it up as a recoverable wreck, cost about 550, and sunk about 1200 inta' her to get her rollin!

All in all a good economic car, but small things that don't always work on it annoy the crap outta me!!

The door lock on the drivers door has an intermittent mechanical jam, that has plagued us since we had the car. Yesterday it finnaly stuck locked for good.

Last time that happened, I pulled the skin to find it unjammed itself somewhere during the process, thus not finding the source of the jam.

Any tips always welcome.

cheers,

lock/unlock with key, if this doesn't work, lock/unlock with the inside locker, and then try opening the door (my GTR sometimes does this if the other half is in a rush and suicide-locks the door as I go to unlock it (suicide lock is lifing the handle as the other person unlocks the door through the central locking).

She has done it twice to me, both times resulted in having to pull the inner door skin off and re-bent the rods.

Nissan a re known for weak lock rods, I recently removed a central locking kit from my old R31, used the rods on the central locking kit as well as the connectors, bent the rods to the same angles, at the same spots, and basically 'splinted' the old rods.

Haven't had an issue yet, but she hasn't suicided the door either.
