Still haven't gotten it open. Have tried the push down while a friend pulls on the cable trick.

All that did?

The cable is now completely loose and the hood popper thing is sitting on the driver's side SEAT, while still attached to the cable and running under the fender and under the hood and still attached.

It's not ****ing budging.

And did I mention that the car has an S15 front with a cf hood? Yeah all those screwdriver ideas are pretty much negatory, and with the combined "wedge"ness of the bigger radiator and S15 front/body kit/bar/headlight wiring, I can't get in there with a wrench or ratchet.

She's going to the nissan dealership tomorrow and they can figure the **** out.
