Keying a 240z
OK - who can help me here??
I purchassed my 70z without keys and was able to get a locksmith to make a key for the ignition (problem solved there). The problem I have now is that my exterior locks (lock cylinders) will not accept the key produced by the locksmith. I have been busy restoring the exterior and have not worried about this situation, but now I am ready to install my lock cylinders I need to figure out if the early zs used two keys, one for the ignition and one for the external locks. I recently spoke to a friend of mine with a 72 model and he told me that his car uses only 1 key for the ignition and locks. Sooooooo, can anyone tell me for sure if:
* The 70 model uses one or two keys?? If they use only one key, then the key that the locksmith produced is just a little off (it will work only in the ignition)
* Can I go get a key to match my locks (I have the lock type code) from the dealer? Either have them cut or buy them over the counter?
I know I can buy all new locks, but if my solution could be simply buying a key, saving some denero would be good!!
