Brad-ManQ45 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Not just ignition, gas cap and hatch lock too. I replaced a gas cap once (wife left it and couldn't find it when I went back), thern when my ignition switch started ggiving me problems, I had all the locks changed. About $500 total. I'd call a good auto locksmith, or as Warren for advice in a PM.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know, the original owner just might find the keys shortly after the sale. Are you following me here? Besides, think about how old and worn the current lock cylinders are.

Pop N Wood Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 You can get keys made from either the VIN or the key code located either in the glove box or the passenger's side door look. Do a search, there was a thread just a few weeks ago where a resident locksmith offered to make some new keys for another member. The thought of the previous owner suddenly finding the keys is something to think about though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdawson Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I just had a set of keys made at a local locksmith, based on the numbers stamped into the pass. side door lock. Early 260Z. Very easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
