If you are referring to my swap, no not yet.
I gave in and took it to my local Datsun shop. Vildini Motorsports.
I will post pics once it is done.

You can probably get through the windows with a coat hanger or even with your bare hands. I test windows for a living. The tests are mostly hurricane resistance, wind loading, water penetration, etc... I also have to perform a breaking and entering test on them. I am limited to a 5 minute test with a wire and a putty knife. Many of the windows I can get into with the wire and almost all of them I could get into if I had more than 5 minutes. It is worth a try before spending the big bucks on the locksmith. Unless, they are non-operating (picture) windows. In that case you are probably screwed.

If you had an outswing door you could just tap the pins out of the hinges and take the door off.

Picture windows and an in-swing door.

This thread is proving that Datsun owners are absolute masters of ingenuity and making due with what tool and materials are at hand. Calling in the pros only as a last resort. I love it!

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, but I have accepted my fate and will be phoning the pros this morning. The place that came out to re-key my locks when I bought the house did the service call and 4 locks for $130 so I don't think this is going to be terribly expensive.

$88, which roughly equates to $1 per second on the job....

At least I can go for a drive after work now.

you don't have a secpnd set of garage or house keysaround? seems to be a cheap investment for all the hassle it creates.

you don't have a second set of garage or house keysaround?

I do now!
