[KraftyPg]

No definitive uses yet but I tried many suggestions.

What model is that the bits look completely different to mine and the 2005 from the US thread, glad I didn't see that before I started.

mine is a Thai Made 09 D40 Navara, mate

Ah that be the difference then, mines a Spaniard. Guess that's another thing they can't agree on when they make these things in different countries.

So did we ever find out if Nissan Aus has this lock?
Is it the same as the R51 Pathfinder tailgate lock?

 

[KraftyPg]

After checking that Nissan wanted $400+ for the rear door actuator (each side was a different price) which in reality should be the same I gave up and went with the $20 Jaycar option.

I suppose to be fair to Nissan while the actuator does do exactly the same as the Jaycar actuator it's made to fit in the door cavity and fit in an exact position, the Jaycar one is made to fit anywhere. Nissan's one also interacts with the BCM at some point but there is no saying the 3 wire Jaycar if hooked up right wouldn't do the same thing with the BCM.

Notso much the central locking deal more the physical lock as I dont have a canopy and the hard cover can be lifted enough to get access if the tailgate is dropped

Oh the actual key lock? Yeah there is a part number listed in the part number thread, Nissan Australia did have it and I think someone once suggested it was about $240

Ah ok
will have to see what I can find
cheers

Given the locking mechanisms are all there (tumbler and actuator are missing) it is possible to modify the lock system so that it is always locked and you need to physically unlock it from the inside of the tub. It's effectively just disabling the outer handle and replacing it with something else its not always practical but it would be cheap.

Well I have a spare tailgate so can have a tinker and see what i can work out

 

[KraftyPg]

It really does come down to just how pretty you want it to be, I reckon I could do it with a bit of wire and 7 mins work (5 mins to take all the screws out of that panel). it may not be pretty but it would stop people gaining access to the tailgate without damaging it.

what is required to fit a keyed lock to a 2011 Thai built D40 ST

 

[KraftyPg]

Should just be buying the over priced key lock from Nissan. You might be able to go after market for which ebay might be the best but atleast with genuine you'd know for sure it all works and fits where it is suppose too.
