lost my keys

[SRd240sx]

Can I go to Nissan with my registration papers to show I own the car, and get a new key? I didn't get a spare when I bought my car. TIA

[USpecS13]

depends on the year of your car. they only have 96 and up 240's in the registry. you might have to get a new lock and key set. either that or junkyard it.

[DrtyRat]

from what I understand there's a key ID number int he glove box but very few ppl actually still have it there and even if u did the dealer prob doesn't have that one on record...best bet is probably to contact a locksmith and find out what they can do

[Cloud9]

I just lost the keys for my 1992 olds and the dealer made a new key from my VIN, but maybe thats just GM

[SRd240sx]

Shoot, my car is a 92.

Im gonna call a locksmith and see if they can help me out. Thanks

[S13SilviaGirl]

Call a nissan dealer and ask them. Best bet on if they can or not.

i think a locksmith can make you a new set of keys if you bring him one of the lock cylinders, prepare to have your wallet raped though, the car is in a garage? if so just try to open it with a hanger and take out the door lock cylinder and go to locksmith, check dealership first to save yourself a shitload of trouble.

shoot, that's what i'm afraid of.. the car is outside on the street.

im going to call nissan first. if they can't do anything, i guess i'll have to resort to a locksmith.

have to call monday, most places are closed tomorrow (sunday) =T

On my 86 corolla, when I had to have a key made, I had to take the passenger side solinoid with me and they made a key like that.

[CaoBoY]

if you have your stock glove box, they can make a key with that X:.... nbr.

[Xren17]

Take the trunk silenoid to a locksmith since it's the easiest to remove. It's not going to cost that much, about $50, probably cheaper than a dealer. I had to do that when I broke my key.

[gotta240]

yup. or have one of them come to you...

it was like 90 bucks here in socal.

wow great idea, didn't think of it... i'll do that last resort.

first i gotta break into the car though to pop the trunk

[OMGWTFBBQ]

you could probably open a 240 with a fork

[Nan Desu Ka?!]

*Edited* You shouldn't advertise this fact.

[SRd240sx]

guys, i forgot, i took out my glove box and it's in the garage, so no need to break into my car. anyway, i took a pic of the white sticker inside the glove. i don't see any codes that start with an 'X'. is it this sticker?

[OdessaS13]

its a different sticker, if your car is hecka old it prolly peeled alreaday, its separate from the one you hyave a pic of. just take the glovebox and have a key made, i didnt think of that lol

[S13SilviaGirl]

Yeah, it is a tiny little sticker maybe and inch or so long and just has numbers on it.

[SRd240sx]

it's ON the glove box, or near it? cause damn, i don't see any other stickers on the glove box :(

[CaoBoY]

it is on the glovebox.

[S14DB]

I miss the easiness of just replacing the tumblers for $12 on my fords. But the 240sx does start more consistently.

[S13SilviaGirl]

yepp it is on the glove box...not all of them have it anymore. Did you try Nissan yet?

[BoostinGST]

i have a 95 that needs a key... where is this sticker you guys are talking about??? can someone take a pic of it??? i called the dealership, aparently nissan only does it for cars up to 5 years old

inside your glove box, there *should* be a sticker (underneath all of your papers :D) not all of them have it anymore...they somehow go missing over time.

[sylsevilsis]

The sticker should be at the left side, inside the glove box . Hope that helps.

[SiI40sx]

yea its about a 6 digit number IIRC, with that the dealer will be able to make you a key, I did it

[sylsevilsis]

Sorry its at the right side. here's a pic

LoL at <NOTICE>

[SRd240sx]

LoL at <NOTICE>

i guess someone took it off or something, it aint there.

my last resort is a locksmith.

instead of the lock for the trunk, can't i use the one for the glove box??

[SRd240sx]

i totally forgot if that uses teh same key as the ignition and doors

[Revolver Ocelot]

I dont think you can use the lock on your glove box to make the key. On my old S14 i could use a flat head screw driver to lock and unlock my glovebox. But thank god it didnt work for my doors. I think the best and easiest one to use would be the trunk lock.

hmmm

i took the lock off my glove box and this is what it looks like.

[SRd240sx]

it doesn't look like a cheap lock that you can just stick anything in there and it will work. anyway i'm gonna take it to a locksmith and see if they can help me. thanks guys

[armedtotheteeth]

*scratches head* My door and ignition keys are different... The ignition key looks aftermarket though, it says like, FOR NISSAN on it...

[heartcooksmouse]

i just lost my only key also.
no stinker with number on it.
but there should alsot be the same code on the passenger side door.
at least, that's what i was told.
but i have no clue how to get at it.
and on top of it all, my car is stuck on top of a trailor, no key to unlock the stearing, and no power to roll up the windows even if i had the key so i could get to the code on the pass door.
and locksmiths cost 150 since they have to come to you since your one and only car doesn't have a god damn key to start it. or even a motor to start...

has anyone actually just taken in their glove box lock and made one from that? cuz i've got mine out and ready if its possible.

[theicecreamdan]

locksmith came out for me, costed $80 to get him to drive at least a half hour and spend about an hour with my car.

[projekt_s13]

Damn It!!!! I remember throwing that sticker away. It fell off and i was cleaning my glove box and i threw it away.

[New 240 Owner]

*Edit* DO NOT PUT THIS INFO OUT TO THE PUBLIC....
