nusevad Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hey guys, I noticed that I am able to fully remove my key when the car is turn on. however when its in the 2nd and 3rd turn the key cannot be removed. Is this normal? My 71 240Z runs fine other than this weird characteristic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamo3 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I guess it's common issue. key got worn out. My 240z was same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie831 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I can take the key out whenever in my 77 280z. I think it is quite handy. In case i left something inside the house, I can keep the car running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nusevad Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 oh ok, guess im not the only one lol. Yea I guess it would come in handy if i needed to stop to get a cup of coffee in the summer and didnt want to turn off the car in case of vapor lock.

ryant67 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I sometimes use this handy feature when warming the car up on cold nights in Spring/Autumn - start the car, after a few seconds I can ease off the choke, pull the key, lock the doors, and go inside for 5 minutes while it comes up to temperature.

Never2BeFinished Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 My '76 did the same thing, I didn't mind. It allowed my girlfriend to run back into the house with the keys haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 It's a typical S30 feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
