So my door locks are manual and they lock and unlock from the inside but from the outside the key doesn't lock or unlock them anymore it also doesn't work in the hatch, so i need someone to send me a link of everything i need to fix that because iv been looking and cant find it out, or at least someone tell me what it is that needs to be replaced

I would also like a new ignition switch right where they key goes in and a new key and the only ones i can find are for punch buggy's

So can someone help me please.

Well, first of all, in regards to your locks not working with the key. How worn down is the current key(s) now? If they are worn down and smoothed out pretty well, then you will need new keys cut. To do this, you can go to your local Nissan dealership and provide proof of ownership of the vehicle (ie title/insurance/bill of sale/etc) and they will cut a new key according to your VIN number. That should solve your lock problem.....

In regards to your new key ignition. Again, you will probably have to go to your local dealership and have one re-keyed to your current set-up. I know for a fact that some, and I say some, lock-smiths can re-key a new ignition, but they need a good working key first, not one of your rounded off keys.

Good luck.

Look for the 4 digit key code in the glove box region--if it is still there. The dealership didn't have records of key codes for my 91 240sx.
