Hello everyone, I am new to the site and in desperate need of a lock part!

My 1991 300zx right hand drivers side plastic lock pawl/ tail piece has snapped and I need a new one to lock my car as im sick of crawling in through passenger side to unlock/lock it everyday :facepalm:
absolutely no where in Australia stocks it, and I have already msgd every man and his dog with a 300zx for wrecking if they have the part and no one seems to have it :frown:

anyone who can help or know any sites that could ship it out to me?
thanks in advanced!

ps i tried to upload a pic but i dont know how to

I'm on sure what you're after, but here is how you post pictures;

You're also going to have better luck posting this in the 300zx section, so I'm moving it there.

You talking about this? https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart/de ... hp?II=8365 Common failure point. $28 is pricey but worth it to never have to take the door handle out again. Z1 sells used plastic pieces for cheaper, but you really don't know how much life you'll get from them.

Hey thanks for the help!
I looked into it but the sites american and the driver side is on the opposite side here in Australia so it wouldn't work out cause my left hand side is a metal one and my right hand (driver side) is plastic :-(

The piece that I referenced is the same for both sides. I know because I've interchanged a spare one I had from a RH door to a LH door. In the US they were plastic, but they may have been made metal in other markets.

Im not 100% they are interchangeable from left to right. I have both and they are mirror images of each other. Yes I can swap them, but they will not fuction properly once installed on the door. The link you posted has an option for left or right sides.

Hmm, must have been a different piece I swapped. I had a few things that I fixed.
