I have a few questions.

1. I bought the car cheap, the body is in really good condition, but I only got one key for the car. The key I got starts the engine but does not lock and unlock the doors and hatch what do I do? I've had the car 2 days now and can't open the hatch.

2. the passenger side wheel makes a wierd noise when i turn right, it sounds like the rack is bad or could it be something else?

3.Yes, its an Auto and i'm doing an SR swap very soon (like this week) and I need to know what parts I need for the 5spd transmission.

Thanksyour friendly Honda nut who findly woke up.:help

First of all, congradulations on getting your 240! As for your questions, I can answer #1. The same thing might have happened to you as with me, that you got a valet key instead of a regular key when you got your car. The valet key will only open the drivers door and start the car. As for your drivers door and all the other outside locks not working, they may have just become stuck with age and weather. They probably need new cores.

question no.2 this is more than likely the tie rod, check the boot on the tie rod if it is torn or missing that is your problem, replace boot and add grease. The grease has dripped out and now you the sound you hear when you turn. If it was your rack you would hear it when you turned in any direction and not at only one wheel. Cheack the fluid in your power steering anyway just to be sure.

I got under the car and yes the passenger side boot is ripped, so when I get the KA pulled I will change the boot.

I don't know of any way to do that, at least not without looking at it, messing with it and taking **** apart. You can probably get a new key from a Nissan dealer by giving them your VIN.
