Power locks

Sorry, very off topic, question for noodle - is that sig from some movie? Let me know, hella funny.

My bro paid 50 bucks to convert his manual door locks to power when he got his alarm installed. He didn't shop around tho. I'm sure somebody will do it for less.

don't all s13's really have centralized power locks or something like that? when i had an alarm installed on my old hatch, the dude told me he couldn't install the keyless entry unless he charged me extra to install and actuator, even though the car had "power" locks.

No, thats actually kinda cheap. What you need is a door lock actuator for each door. When I was installing alarms they were about $35 each IIRC. Obviously prices will vary between companies.

The OP says he has manual locks. He needs actuators.

I dunno man. Usually low price plus ebay equals ****ty parts. It looks like something that was just mass produced as cheaply and quickly as possible. Its up to you though, you could be the guinea pig. If it were me though, I would spend the extra dough on a name brand part if just for the piece of mind. You will also need a relay or two, depending on which door lock system your car has. IIRC, Nissan had 3 different door lock wiring systems during this era. I think yours will have the 2 wire negative pulse, which is orange/black for lock and orange/blue for unlock (could be wrong on this, dont quote me).

true but i was talking about this

My bad, I didnt even notice that post until you quoted it.

yeah i really dont know about those accuators, id feel safer going to circuit city and having them order in the ones u need

[the converted]

Those are pretty much the same ones that circuit would use. It's probably not all that different than the name brands anyway so I don't see a big deal using those.

i think im just going to order those anything else that i need other than a pager?

Harada actuators are good. Most others are not.
