Manual to power locks?

[anisht]

So im very close to buying a 240sx.  a black 1990.  id love electronic locks and keyless entry (possibly an alarm, too) but im curious how much thatll set me back.

Option 1 : get the power lock stuff from a junkyard, and buy an alarm/keyless entry at best buy and gt them to install it.

Option 2: find some place to do it all.  

im curious how much this will set me back, just for the manual-> power locks conversion, and if ill be able to do this myself.  Also, about how much would option 2 set me back.  

thanks

Cheers!

Manual to Power is pretty simple if you have the know-how and the right tools. Chances are that if you're asking, you're better off having an audio shop do it. It should set you back around $150 for the alarm with aftermarket doorlocks installed.

i think i can handle it. &nbsp;i just wnated to make sure they were the same doors and all that. &nbsp;the way i figured, it should be fairly easy, with the mounts or whatnot in place, and i jsut need to put them in, and wire them with the switches. &nbsp;How much do you think the door locks and switches would cost?

Look aroung on the NET. &nbsp;I have seen them for $10 per actuator. &nbsp;Do some research on the net. &nbsp;YOu might want to take it to a shop though. &nbsp;I was thinking about what you want to do, but I have decided to go with the shop. &nbsp;

BTW: I am more of the Do-It-Yourself type of guy too

I just bought 2 used doors for a total of $250 , including shipping, that have PW & PL. I'm just going to swap the whole door so I can keep the stock appearance and don't have to deal with mounting everything. Now if the guy would just send them I'd be good to go.

FYI I just went to BestBuy yesterday and they do the installation for free w/ purchace of any alarm. &nbsp;Then they will do the manual to power lock conversion while you have it in for an additional fee. &nbsp;All it takes is an actuator that they will use. &nbsp;I think it will set you back about $50 additional dollars. &nbsp;I have PL and PW so the alarm I am getting will automatically roll up my windows and lock the doors once the alarm is activated and all other types of high speed sheit
