Only last key broke in half

[DDDsquad_s13panda]

ok, before i call up the locksmith and get a whole new set of keys and locks,

i just want to know if theres any other solution to this problem..

my friend only key broke today from locking/opening his driver side door, luckly he got the other piece out the key whole, but can he go to nissan and get another set of keys for his car just by giving them the VIN#, i heard you can do these on the new hondas, but with a proof of ownership.

the only key has to open the car and drive.

or should he just get a whole new set, including the ignition cylinder?

take it to a locksmith they'll make you a new key. no need for buying a whole net lock set.

iirc, the key code is on the back of the glove compartment somewhere? if this is an s13 that is for sure... i needed to make extras due to old key being worn down.

[DDDsquad_s13panda]

so locksmith can duplicate the key just by the key whole? cool, might as well do that.. im sensing the whole " going to nissan dealership" is going to be expensive.. thanks!

is behind the glove box, or i need to pull it out and see.. i might have to do the same thing with MY s13 but i think i grab another glove box from the junkyard. so yeah =/.. ill take a look though, thanks... i never knew that.

[andmattsayd]

yeah ive had it done
just take the number down to your local nissan dealer and they should be able to cut you a new key
and it was only like 12 dorra it was real nice.

[VROOOM]

ive taken both parts of a broken key(S14) to ACE and they made a key from both parts and it worked perfectly. they taped it together and made a copy.

[Shift_Cory]

lol u could have just done what everyone else said, go to Nissan and bring in your glove box, and they can make a key from that code. i have my buddy do it everytime i get a new 240

Just get the 4 digit number(s) off this.

If this sticker is gone, like some of mine have been, if all your lock cylinders were still the same, pop out the truck lock cylinder (it's the easiest) and take it to a locksmith. I paid $25 for them to make a key to match the lock cylinder.

Instead of paying a mobile motherfucker to come out and do it.

FYI, if its an '89, they will not have it in the computer system. Well at least the Nissan dealership I went to last weekend couldn't do '89's.

[used240sxparts]

same thing happend to me, take both parts of the key to a lock smith... they can cut a new key $3.95

[VROOOM]

lol u could have just done what everyone else said, go to Nissan and bring in your glove box, and they can make a key from that code. i have my buddy do it everytime i get a new 240

i payed 3 dollars for ACE to do that i bet Nissan charges way more.

[allturbotim]

locksmith for sure

[DDDsquad_s13panda]

well i guess, ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE WHOLE GLOVEBOX, HE BROKE HIS KEY LOCKING HIS CAR, SO HE HAS NO WAY TO OPEN HIS CAR TO GET TO THE GLOVEBOX....

[BustedS13]

so you guys have never opened a car with a coat hanger? jesus christ.

and you could probably open his car with your keys. they're s13's, right?

[DDDsquad_s13panda]

i tried. =[.

[hOngsterr]

lol,
use that thin metal thingy,
if that doesnt work call someone to open it?
then go
look for the code
lol

[5t341tH]

go to nissan and buy the nice Nissan key they have. they will also cut it for freeeeeee

[420sx]

you guys are fucking retarted.

open your car with a car hanger. takes 30 seconds. now open your trunk. take out the lock. take it to locksmith and get a few copies. i had to do it a few times at our shop

unless you changed ignition lock, then u have to take that one off

[ixfxi]

damn


i just remember going to the dealer with my vin... 10 bucks, new OE key

[silviaguy240]

the vin shit is out of date for our cars. most any car older than 2000 wont be in the system.

[WERDdabuilder]

cotfuckingdamn....

since im 1min from fontana how about i open it for you with a coat hanger? 20$ for my time/gas.

is that so? ...fuck. I don't really need new keys but a fresh "unworn" key would be nice
i tried. =[.
lol fail.
oh and jiggler keys are FTW:rofl:

did the same thing. spent all day trying to get it out, then it took them 4 minutes to
cut a perfect new one out of the two halves. $12 or something.


this isn't a big issue. it's common (car) sense, not 's-chassis discussion'.

lock this thread or something.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

i was half expecting to hear that the dude locked himself inside the car, so he can't go to a locksmith.

You have any pics of it? I don't like having a generic key.

thats what i did too. one of my friends worked at a hardware store, so when i broke my key in half i brought it in to him and he was able to make a key that worked.

[DreamN]

You have any pics of it? I don't like having a generic key.

wow, can't even search for a picture of a key. picture your generic key with a black plastic cover over the portion that doesn't go into the cylinder locks. Now picture "Nissan" engraved on it.

[Mangudai]

How was I suppose to know that's what the key they were selling looks like? There are a lot of Nissan keys, some that don't even have the plastic cover.

[Slammed180]

My key that came with my car had the code right on it. It was a nissan key, too.
Is that just a JDM thing? or do all S13 keys have that?

[DreamN]

I believe original keys did as my silvia keys and the ignition cylinder have the code on them.

[DDDsquad_s13panda]

well finally got the car opened, coat hangers do work, now i just gotta watch out for lowlife thieves out there, cuz if i can do it, everyone can..


N E WAYS, WENT TO NISSAN...its a 93' coupe btw.. they werent able to pull out the key in their system, but they were only charging $15 for 2 i think...

got locksmith to roll through he paid $55 for 3 sets maid. so yeah problem sold.

so wait, did you even get the code from the glove?

[slothonaleash]

I had a hard time coat-hangering my car--the lock took too much pressure to move.

A lacrosse stick through the thankfully open sunroof did the trick, though

didnt need it, called up nissan they said just bring vin# and proof of ownership, went down to nissan with all the paperworks, turned out they cant pull a 93 info no more, so just decided to call a locksmith

[420sx]

and a locksmith is going to do exactly the same thing i told you and charge you for coming out there.


or you can take out the trunk lock and take it to him and save 50$.
