greghassen Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) I've searched and searched for pictures of how other people installed their power door lock actuators in the s30 and never came up with any pictures. I couldn't find a way to fit the big aftermarket actuator inside the door without interfering with the window and giving the actuator linkage a straight pull. Actuators will not last long if they are pulling at an angle. One other thing is to use loctite on the linkage screws because they will loosen up without it. The big cheap actuator is shown in this picture In my other S30 i used a actuator out of a zx and it worked out ok. I was able to install it almost directly above the door lock. It wasn't easy but i think the nissan actuator will last longer than these cheap aftermarket ones. But, if anyone is using the aftermarket ones here is a picture of one that was installed by a shop that did alarms. I was replacing the door panels in my new 78 and thought id'e take a pic to help others out there.

wagon jon Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I think the problem is in what you previously mentioned..."big and cheap." Small and expensive would save your hair from being pulled out, and the pain that goes with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
