OK - assumeing that this is genuine (after all who would be stupid enough to ask on a public forum if it wasn't) Besides who would steal a TN anyways? (J/K) :)
If it is a carby one, just hook up a wire from the +ve of your battery to the positive of the ignition coil, and a positive wire from your battery to the starter motor solenoid (momentarily to crank), and there you go.
Done it pleanty of times at the wreckers - once the engine is started, you will need to disconnect the +ve lead to the ignition coil from the battery to kill the engine.

it can be done. but like i'm gonna post up how to, kinda demeans safety for anyones car. sorry dude, your best having a locksmith get a key made for you via mold.
If you can get a lock out of the car, it will give you the key number. That'll be the best method to obtain a method of starting the car.
On another note, Heath's method will work on a FI car, but use it with caution, as it is DAMN easy to fry the ECU, and then the car won't run.

If its your car as you say, you'll have heaps of time to pull out the ignition barrel
off the steering column then just jumper the wires that come out of the barrel.
Access to a TN's starter motor is just about impossible unless you're a midget. :confused:
