My ignition switch on the S13 is funky, have to wiggle the key to start the car, and the door locks are a little "off" as well.

Any ideas on how I can fix this, OR leads on where I can buy a whole new set of locks / ignition cylinder (besides the dealer)?

I had 4 different keys on my car. One for Driver door, passenger door, trunk, and ignition. Took my cylinders to a locksmith and he fitted them all to one key. cost me $35 dollars.

do you only have one key? if it doesn't look damaged, try spraying all the locks with wd40.

does the key look really "worn"???

that's what happened to me; basically, I got a brand new key made from the "stealership" via Keycode label that's in my glove box.

I dunno if the previous owner had written it down for u or the label is still in the glovebox...

try that first before going into a whole replacement set of lock cylingers...
