hey guys, have an annoying issue with my v35 coupe.

the drivers door wont lock or unlock with the remote. i can use the key but this gets a little annoying after awhile.

Is this a common problem? if so is there anyone who has experience fixing this? i just dont have the time nor the space to fix this issue myself.

if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

cheers, alex

Hi Alex, i did have that issue a couple of days back.....eventually i found that my boot was not locked properly...simply opened the boot and closed it....the key started to work fine....i am not sure if this will fix your issue...just give it a go....

Search around on SAU - this topic has been posted dozens of times before. There is also a YouTube video of how to replace your oem actuator with an aftermarket one.

Hey Chris, what would be the proper fix for this? Would there be a permanent fix? Wouldnt the replacement door actuator evetually crap itself and you'll have to replace it again?

bit of a redundant question when you think about it. they are service parts. they are meant to fail at some point in the cars life and given most of these cars are 7-8 yrs old when you get them I do not see that as too bad a thing given the amount of use they would have over that time. you are getting these cars half way through their life. things are going to break. repari them proerply using proper OEM parts and they will last another 8-10 yrs. by that time you will have all moved on and bought other cars. (unless you are like me and keep things for years on end)

half arsing things on them is simply asking for more trouble in my eye. you do not own a 1975 datsun 120 Y here. you own what was a $90k car when it was new and as such parts will need to be replaced on them when they fail

we all know the electrics are done by renault and as such the are a tad expensive and unreliable after several years of use. to me that's life and part of owning one of these cars.

my immediate thoughts are this:

if you have one thing in that door fails do both sides and do EVERYTHING in it. now that may not be your cup of tea but from a point of ripping the thing down several times to change things that break it certainly makes it a lot simpler if you do it all at once.

I got this problem sorted out on my car a few weeks ago. Not wanting to have any complications i decided to get it done through my local Nissan dealer.

The drivers door lock actuator cost me $315 and a flat rate of $190 to install it. Much cheaper than the usual $120 per hour rate they usually charge.

It took them about 3 hours to get it all sorted and align the window correctly.

At the end of the day its up to you. I decided to get it done at Nissan but that's me..

Many people on the forum have completed this job successfully themselves but as per Chris's FAQ Section, this is not a simple DIY

Cheers

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
