I assume by "it wont unlock either" you mean that it is locked right now...

that would be why it doesn't open, so the question is why is the door stuck locked?

Have you tried both using a key and the latch on the inside of the door?

either way, you may have to attempt to take off the door trim and have a look at the locking mechanism, something may be caught in there or it may have rusted/ jammed for some other reason.

but i would say have a look and go from there.

(edit for spelling)

also has anyone else had this happen to them ? how did you fix it ?

i dont think u can take off the trim while the door is closed? coz the three screws to remove the door trim are between the bottom of the interior and the door. but not 100% sure...

i also had this problem with mine but i put a little force and shook the key while turnin and it opened. but i dont think its the same prob as urs

how bout you remove the thing that surrounds the door opener inside? once its out you might have a little small space too put ur finger and do something lol

you just have to remove a screw i think in the middle and then unclip the surround carefully

were you able to get the door trim off at all?

was thinking that you may be able to do it if you take out the front seat. would be a lot of effort, but i think it's coming to the point of trying all options. taking the seat out should let you get to the screws at the bottom, and you mentioned before that you were able to get the top part unhooked. just don't forget the couple of screws through the centre of the door in the arm rest thing.

worst case, you may need to damage your door trim to get it off.. but a door trim costs less than a door if it comes to it.

This happened to mine not 3 days ago. Although I could open my door so no probs.

Start by pulling out the door handle/lock surround on the inside. No screws, just a few little clips. This will allow you to grab the steel rod with a pair of pliers/vice grips and will give you more pulling power without the risk of breaking the plastic lock switch or door handle.

Mine was simply a small piece of plastic jammed into place preventing the mechanism from opening. Don't know where it came from but I removed it and all was well so f@#k it.

Anyways try to unlock and open the door this way first. If it is just something jammed in place, the extra force may budge it just enough, as the plastic handles will not allow as much force to be applied.

FORCE: Sometimes it's the only way. Other times it just seems like a good idea at the time, and can be fun when frustrated.

I'M trying to think without going and looking but cant you wind the window down and use a coat hanger or something to get at the lock mecanism?

Or If the inside lock tab thingy is only opening halfway then something is obviously blocking it, i would try to open and close the inside lock tab fast and slow and hit the door firmly but not to hard to see if it unlocks.

Worth a try. :kiss:

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
