Hi,

I can get a genuine one from nissan for about $80.

But I'm feeling a bit cheap as I just unnecessairly replaced the starter motor . Are there any other options here? Is there any way to service a faulty switch? We the ute ones used on any other cars to widen my search at the wreckers?

Cheers,
Brad

stanzas & sunnys use the same switch as late utes,so have a look for one of these in a wreckers.

Mine is a 1972 model.

Switch has two screw lugs and is pin out compatible with a 120y switch (which is smaller and only has one lug).

Reckon stanza or sunny will fit a '72?

Thanks for your reply!

Yes, some Sunny (Stanza) ones can do the job. (assuming it is the steering lock type)

Can help you with a 2nd hand one of those, would like to match it up with yours thou ..

Where are you??

Can you email photos??

Im in Melbourne

For 80bucks just buy it

just use a momentary button as a switch :D

so you'll just need to press the button to start the car

The ignition switch should only be around $20 USD (I just bought one).

The key lock cylinder (keylock) is about the same: RockAuto Parts Catalog



If you need the entire keylock mechanism (cylinder & barrel), $25: ACDELCO CYLINDER,IGN LK W/ 7 TUMBLER LOCK CYLINDER

Thanks everyone for their comments.

I got a igntion switch form a 120y (just the switch not the lock, tumbler,etc) and found that it was completely different.

Sourced a lock, tumbler, etc from a datsun sunny. After pin punching out the two blank screws, the sunny one went in perfectly.

Cheaper than $80.

I bet it screws up next week

the switch part of your steering lock is available as a non genuine part.
if you still need one pop into an auto electician

Thanks for the tip. I had no idea the B310 (Sunny) key lock assembly would bolt to the 1200 steering column.

What year is your 1200 ute?
