Having A Couple Problems

[newborn240]

im having some problems on my 240.
-every time i turn the steering wheel it makes noise. the noise sounds like it need some grease.
-when i switch gear it shakes and makes a sound(happens 3 times a day and its not cuz i dont know how to drive)
-it takes me a really long time to open my door with the duplicate key cuz the original key broke.

and i got really confused reading that, because it went from something to something else in a split sentence

Your writting is incredibly vague.

-What sound does your transmission make when you shift gears? I assume it's a grinding noise which could mean that your synchros are dead... or it could be a meowing noise which could mean that you have transmission cats.
-Your locks are probably busted.

check if you have powersteering fluid and if the belt needs to be tightend.

yeah some grinding noise. im also thinking its one of the 2 clutch bearing? and where can i buy new locks? that means i have to change the ignition too

[newborn240]

how do you remove the window handle? so i can take the door panel. and how do you remove the door lock? its kinda hard to get in there

[TRU_DAH-V]

looks like you need to use the search button and get yourself a chiltons repair manual

just shave the key down a little then try it before you change all the locks

[oscarsx]

power steering fluid my friend... and you lost me after that

[newborn240]

yeah but i think ii still have to change it all cuz on the driver door lock, it has half of the original key in there. it broke
i hav shit loads of work to do on this 240sx.
theres no rear wiper

[newborn240]

it only have 70k original miles
i took the radio out. it didnt have the face.
how do i get the mileage number on my cluster same as my engine mileage? it says 200k sumtin but my engine only has 70k


i fixed that today and got some bulbs for my trunk light

[redsuns3838]

well legally you arent allowed to turn back your odometer.

when you go to register it or smog it, they record the mileage and it'll flag it on carfax that odometer mileage jumped back. scamfest if you try to sell the car.

just leave it be. its def a clean ride though.

[newborn240]

i fixed my driver door lock. the passenger door lock was working the other day and now its not working anymore.

[newborn240]

i started fixing the dents on my car today. i will be painting it soon. RED or BLACK?

[krisdeezy]

ever thought of checking your powersteering fluid...the trans is a...throwout bearing ?!...and the key im guess has a wrong duplicate on one of the sides just like mine =D...

p.s those pics did help hahaha...

[1slowS13]

did you solve any of your other problems? it takes me a couple of seconds to unlock and lock my car, too. since the locks themselves are two decades old, and no.. you don't need to match your door keys with your ignition.

also to remove your window lever, there is a cotter pin holding it unto the shaft. just press on the door panel and you'll see it.

[240cracker]

for your key issue

look inside ur glove box and there should be a sticker with a keycode. go to dealership with registration and id and they will make it for u for like $7

what kind of sound does it make when u shift?
