Dear Gents (Enzo250gto, Warren or anyone), ...and I thought, that I had just found a solution for my problem, but now you are telling me it's no good... I have just recently bought a Datsun 280ZX turbo, automatic, T-top 1983 without any keys. Also, the drivers side handle+lock was missing, but the previous owner had got one from the net. However, I think it is not the correct one, since it does not have the switch for the power locks, which my car is supposed to have. My car is stored far away from where I live, so I cannot really check anything easily. Waiting for the spring to get it to my garage... Anyhow, I've got no keys for the car what so ever. The ignition is working with a screw driver =( The ignition lock is fairly easy to find. Either as a whole, or just the locks cylinder, depending how badly the screw driver has damaged the body of the lock. It's the doors, hatch and also the tank cap & glove compartment locks, which are difficult to find. I thought I could solve the problem by ordering a bunch of tumblers (e.g. https://hemitchell.com/collections/auto-keying/products/datsun-x-y-series-keying-kit-b-item-asp-a-16-106) and re-keying all the locks. However, I do not yet know which type of tumblers each lock uses and I have not done this job ever before. I am sure, that it can be done though. You stated, that this would be the wrong way to go in the long run, I that's the last thing I want to do, i.e., extra work with bad results. Could you please point me to the right direction, being professionals of the trade? Is there any place where I could by the locks, lock cylinders or find some other long lasting solution to my problem? I would really prefer to have 1-2 keys for all the locks, instead of one for each... Your input would be highly appreciated 😃 Any pictures of the lock cylinders and/or correct tumblers would be useful to me - thanks. PS: There is a set of locks for sale on ebay for 777USD, but I find that a bit excessive. Or maybe I just haven't really yet understood the cost of having one of these cars
