ultrasuede Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Hi fellas, During a drive from the sunshine coast to sydney my ignition barrel failed. I cut the wires and im now hotwiring to drive the car. What should i replace it with? Find a replacement barrel? Go with a button? Proximity ignition? Its for a 260z btw, and im in Sydney all week if any locals have an idea.. oh and i want to get an alarm and central locking fitted. Any locals know a good place? Cheers Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted August 30, 2015 Administrators Posted August 30, 2015 Get a replacement ignition barrel they are pretty cheap on eBay etc..As for alarm's good question I'm yet to find anyone in Sydney I know of who's good. Quote
mossy Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Be careful with the ebay ones, I bought one from there and it was crap and failed after the first time. Quote

ultrasuede Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 The back part im guessing. The fuel pump only turns on in the ignition position. When i let go of the key it turns off Quote
mossy Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Electrical switch failed but the locking mech didnt work properly either. Quote
dat2kman Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Well, i also have a complete key barrell with column clamp assy, with intact operating steering lock, and attached ignition switch, includes one key only. Quote
