Fuel Door Wont Open

[ccshi332]

As topic said the fuel door wont open when i press the release button. Im not sure what caused it hadn't hit anything. Anyway i googled it and was a bunch of post of people saying cable issue etc and most of them just got a repair kit which was some little black thing they atttachd to the cable it it somehow fixed the issue. But all those post were for honda civics. Anyone have any suggestions or know if any repair kit would work? plus any places that i can get one? btw 98 r34 skyline if that information is needed. thank!

get one person to pull the leaver up and get another to pry it open gently with a screw driver , obviously protect the exposed areas with cloth and be gentle

worked for me

Or spitting at it?

Seriously tho, do what Mitch said.

pull the panel off the boot side, takes a few seconds , then you can move the lever by hand

most likely the little plastic part is broken off, a little epoxy or CA glue and it's fixed for a few years

or the cable fell off ?

common problem if you pull it beyond how far it really needs to to open, shears off the plastic pull tab on the door

can provide a close up photo if required, mine is off right now

I'm afraid your car does not want fuel, maybe it doesn't like the fuel your giving it now?

Try Shell.
