SOHC to DOHC style door lock mech. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok so I swapped a door from a SOHC onto my DOHC, and I really hate this whole "holding the door knob while closing " sequence to lock it.. is there any thing I can do to make it not function like this? or should I just swap the internals from the DOHC if I can?

Nope. That's how they work. Buy a keyless entry.

this interests me as well... i HATE that stupid hold the handle up crap and i dont wanna pay 200$ for new locks. are you definitely SURE thats the way it has to be?

if you add resistance to the lock mechanism it wont. i had powerdoorlocks (disconnected) and the extra resistance caused them to close without lifting the handle.

and guess what, i ripped them out last week and now im back to stock.

lifting handles..

who cares.

The 93+ doorlocks don't require for you to hold up on the handle, so you could swap it with those.

so this is only a 89-90 thing? cause my 91 doesn't do this.

yuup, i have an 89 and it does the same thing. every once in a blue moon it'll stay locked if i shut the door w/o holding up the handle. alarm time!
