1989 R32 Gts4 Cant Open Fuel Filler! Help Please!

[s213b]

as title says, i have a (had it for a month) 1989 r32 gts4 skyline, and cant f*ucking drive it because i cant open the panel that is ment to spring open when pushing the lever.

ive had a look as well as i can (race seats dont make shit easy) and the latch moves and has a rod connected to it etc etc. however to open my tank you have to push the lever down, lever seems dodgy however has worked many times.

i popped my boot and tried to see if i there was anything looking out of wack, but the whole cars dynomatted so cant see squat.

please help! if i dont get it fixed i cant fill up and get to work!!! aarrgghhh

thanks,

Josh.

*edit

latch works, except pin that disengages and allows fuel flap to swing open does not pull in far enough when pressing fuel flap open lever. is there anywhere i can adjust it?

cheers.

From in the boot, reach around Near the fuel flap and feel the cable, follow it to the filler flap release, have a fiddle with it and it should open

on the actual flap there is a piece of metal that catches on the latch. just push it away from the latch to get you by.

Take the drivers seat out and then see if it works correctly.

the mechanism works, however the little pin that lets go of the fuel flap doesnt quite go in far enough, it doesnt allow the flap to spring out. it needs adjustment or some sort, but i need to know where i can/if its adjustable.

thanks for the help guys

Correct, you just move the metal catch a fraction. This is not uncommon.
