Curious how hard it is to convert my 93 style manual door locks to 94 style push button lock/unlock. I'd like to unlock without the key.
Thanks,
Robert

 

i'm not sure what you're asking about.
are you wanting keyless entry?
unlock the doors with a remote?

 

well u can add keyless entry to any Z since power locks were standard i think....what you will need is the actuator for the drivers door, and you are set

 

you can get an alarm system that incorporates auto-locks..thats what i did

 

It sounds like he's saying that the internal locking mechanism in the '94 is push button and the '93 is the push/pull style latch. I don't know for sure tho.

 

I've seen countless Z's of all years, 90-96.
I have not noticed any difference in the locking mechanism. There's no seperate "button" that locks or unlocks the doors as in most other vehicles. Other than the two actual locks on both doors, there's never been anything other than the key and/or the keyless entry system that would lock or unlock the doors.
If keyless entry is what you're after Robert, I think an aftermarket alarm system with keyless entry is your best bet. Most all of them from the most expensive to the cheapest of the cheapys should incorporate keyless entry nowadays.

 

if you have a 92 plus, you can have keyless entry done without an actuator.... there is a brown and yellow wire in the kick panal.... our cars are a pain in the ***.... nissan put a one wire lock system in our cars, so one wire controlls lock and unlock(the brown/yellow one).... you have to put a relay in, and set it up special, i would take it to someone who knows what theya re doing..... i have a 90 TT, and there wire isnt in there, so i had to put an actuator in my door, and run wires through my boot, it was a pain, but it work fine.... but, i would take it to Circuit City.... i work there, they will warranty the install for as long as you have the car, and you can take it to any of the stores if you ever move or anything, or you can take it to best buy, i think they are the same way.... i would deff not recommend doing it by yourself tho, its a pain.... anyway... if you have any questions, just ask me.... later man

 

NOOOOOO not the circuit city... take it to Crutchfield in Virginia...all of our installers are MECP certified and also we have installers that are first class and master technicians...yours trully is MECP cert as well.....


Just kidding about circuit city... 2 of my buddies work there.

 

Those acuators suck. I have one in my door that quit working. I have tot take the door panel off to find out what happened. As it sits now, I can't lock the doors with my alarm remote. It's a real ****-off.

 

Virginia this, Virginia that, lol why don't we all just move to Virginia where everyone is certified...

 

Do you mean certified or certifiable??

 

haha I said what I said now leave me alone! lol

 

crutchfield sucks!.... haha, just kidding, i actually send tell people to buy stuff from you guys, lol.... go to them if they are all MECP certified!.... some of the installers at circuit city suck at their jobs, lol.... all the guys at the shop i work in are good.... but thats b/c we got rid of all the people who suck, lol.... but... go to crutchfield is there is one near you.....

 

hehehe..thanx man... my buddies work at circuit city, and they know their stuff... thats where i used to shop before... experience varies from store to store.. and no virginia isn't the best state... (far from best) but charlottesville was voted no. 1 place to live in US

 

Certifiable.... To think I almost transferred to Lynchburg back in the 70's.
