Explain more about it - it's pretty reasonably priced, but I'm not that keen on the big remote with the screen and all. How has it saved your car twice?

Thanks,
Dale

Did anything materialize with this?
I would love to be able to get my hands on these parts!

So far two have shipped and should arrive any day now (if they haven't been recieved already. Dale I've still got to get pictures of your tach and see if any more lock assemblelies can be located. Jack

Dale you guys get this working? every junk yard I hit here in okinawa all the door handels an locks are gone.

I was also thinking about trying this on my car here but I would need one from the states

I got the part, but haven't had time to work on it - I'm helping a buddy build a motor, and this is way down on the list of stuff to do. Not to mention I still need to get a keyless entry system to make it go

Tony, you could probably make some cash selling door latches . I'll see if I can get a pic of the one I got from Jack up and see if it's got a part number or anything on it.

if you get the part number I will it mazda and see what kinda deal we can get

CantGoStraight

Ok here's the deal. I've located 4 more of these door lock mecanisim's. I could only get hold of two and they went out right away. Dale and I believe Alan got there's so if anyone else is in need of one let me know know as when these are gone there like the outside door handles and it will be a who knows when kind of thing. PM me or email me at <rotor4play@gmail.com>

You have a PM
What parts can you get? All necessary to make this a drop in I hope?

I know I could come up with something, its just the inside workings of these doors are too fragile, I would rather have something that just works right, proper pull and displacement of the inner mechanisms.

CantGoStraight

PM replied to. It's a direct drop in to an extent. The driverside has some switches mounted on it that have to be transferred to the RHD one. Nothing major as far as reworking it.

I put a "generic" door lock actuator in my drivers side door.. and has been working great for 6 months and counting now. I'll admit it was a pain getting the wires ran into the door, and the mounting perfect.. but it works perfectly.

The only reason I went keyless though is because I snapped 3 keys off in my drivers side door lock . Remote start is a cool feature to have too.

CantGoStraight

There's no doubt there are other door actuators out there that will work (for awhile) it's just that our mechanisims are somewhat fragile and if not lubricated the aftermarket actuators have the power to over come the heaveier resistance and eventually damage/jam or even break components in the door opening/locking mechanics. It's all fine untill you can't get in.

alberto_mg

excuse my ignorance but what exactly is the purpose of this thing?

CantGoStraight

The only real pourpose is to provide a way to have true keyless entry without damaging the mechanics of the door opening/closing linkage and components like so many of the after market door lock actuators do. For what ever reason (incorrect installation, too much travel, binding. The logis is that if it works on the passenger side without destroying anything then if installed on the drivers side it should work equally as well. Jack

My car had an aftermarket alarm with keyless entry when I bought it and it works perfectly. I've had the car over 5 years and the alarm wa installed at least a few years before I got it.

The actuator on the driver door is the generic made in China variety everyone uses but the installer was smart: He put a big z-bend in the linkage to act as a spring as well as ensuring the geometry is such a way that the actuator never tries to force the mechanism further than it is capable of moving.

I'm sure there are others out there but whoever installed the one in my car was one of the few to do it right.

CantGoStraight

Sound like you were lucky enough to get one done (or the person who owned it before you) by someone that knew what hey were doing. You don't find that kind of quality at most of the Circuict city, or stereo installation shops. This isn't something that's necessary on our cars just something that makes sense for those of us that did our own installation. Doesn't require any major modifacation and doesn't require allot of trial and error to get the mounting and likage right.

now to figure out which keyless entry system is going to work best.

Any opinions?


Here are the parts in question for those it may concern.

I'm bumping this thread up to see if anyone has got this to work yet...

I just ordered this part: F123-58-310C and it isn't the correct one. I have a 93 JDM so i was looking to get the driver side locking assembly with the actuator and all that came with this part was the mechanical portion and a micro switch.

collectiv

iTrader: (1)

Well, i'm going to attempt to try the LHD right door actuator for my JDM. I will have no micro switches but i wont need them anyway for my application. Will be using a viper 211 to remote keyless entry, just wont have manual progressive door unlock with the stock system. No biggie.
I'm assuming the FD01-58-310E will work physically in the JDM right side door.

Unless someone has tried it and it didn't work, please let me know.
