hows the battery in your remote? could be your problem, i've got a viper and it goes thru batteries like you wouldn't believe.

passenger side door locks automatically after driving at 20-30km/h, is this what you mean by "doesn't unlock anymore"?

or are you unable to unlock the passenger side when you have stopped?

if the alarm still arms / disarms then the actuator in the drivers door has come loose.

R33's didn't come with an actuator in the drivers door, and the passenger door doesn't lock / unlock unless the drivers door does.

The actuator is hooked onto the metal rod that controls the door locking mechanism.

If the actuator is not grabbing this rod properly, then this problem can happen.

If you can hear the actuator moving from lock to unlock position, but the lock itself is not moving, then this sounds like the problem...

If not, then it is probably something else.

door skin? the bit with the window controls? cos when i move the unlock bit on that it unlocks etc.

Sorry - door trim.

The whole thing on the inside.

Once you get it off, you will see an actuator with a thin metal rod coming out of it.

That rod is connected to another via a small bracket that uses screws to hold them together with friction. This bracket will be loose and you will need to tighten it.

there is a screw in the handle, covered by a plastic cap. remove that.

Then I believe there are screws at the bottom of the door trim, remove those.

Then I believe the control panel pops out (with a bit of force), and the door trim needs to be poped off. Once you have poped all the clips on the trim, lift it, and pull out to remove.

There may or may not be plastic covering the door at this point, careful not to damage it. Look around for the actuator (most likely black) but it is a plastic thing with a rubber boot on the end that has the rod connected. Then follow previous instructions.

install door trim the opposite way you removed it.
