Anyone know a good mechanic/locksmith that can change the door cylinder in my s14? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Preferably around San Jose, CA

So I have a 95 240sx SE with power locks/alarm and replaced the front door.

Obviously my current key will not work in that door so I need to have my original key cylinder swapped or the new cylinder to be rekeyed. I was able to remove the key clinder from my original door but I basically wanked everything out and it wasn't done cleanly.

I have power locks so the giant white thing is present and makes this really difficult to do without breaking other parts in the process of removal.

My passenger side also hasn't had lock for about 6 years as it seems someone took the rods out of place and that key cylinder is just dangling there.

Any suggestions for a shop around San Jose that can do this so I dont have to keep my car unlocked?

I have an android phone.

I know I have to remove the c-clip on the cylinder in this pic(not the red circle) and pop out the metal rod with the pink holder. I believe the coiled wires is what stops me from doing anything correctly

The way I removed my original one was by doing the above and pivoting the rubber tipped L-bracket thing to the side, and ripping the coiled wire off the cylinder. Obviously that is not the correct way, or at least I hope not.

I have googled how to do it but everyone else has the same problem with the white security piece.
