Just the interior door panels will fit fine. Mine came in a few days ago. The hard part will be the wiring. wink.gif You'd still have to install power door lock actuators though.

You'd have to put them on, and then you'd have to run various wires throughout the car to interface everything together. Either way, it's going to be tough. wink.gif

I wanna install power locks... I don't care about putting a switch on the door handle... the fob would be alright.
Any idea where I get actuators and what I do when I get them?


(bastard who broke into my car tried to open the door by jamming the screwdriver in the tumbler... moron)

You can find the actuators on eBay for five bucks a pop or so. I got two with the two-wire connection, and they've worked perfectly since the day I installed them.

A word of advice which makes sense to me is to put Loctite on the bolts that hold the rods in place, so that they don't ever rattle loose.

Awesome, can I interface this with keyless entry? Do I need special actuators or just a receiver that will signal the actuators?

Ah, I knew Loctite was good for more than just sponsoring the Skyline that would always dust me in GT3 biggrin.gif
Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, they're simple to interface with keyless entry. I did it with a couple SPDT automotive relays and it works perfectly. smile.gif
