New Nissan Key?

[jontron5000]

I was wondering if it was possible to get a newer looking Nissan key such as this: GENUINE NISSAN ARMADA MASTER KEY BLANK 2007 - 2007 OEM | eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280580319239&viewitem=)

and have it cut from my current Nissan 240SX key. It's purely for aesthetic looks and to have a more modern looking key, yet repping the Nissan logo.

I don't imagine there being any huge setbacks from getting this done, but if I am overlooking something let me know!

Thanks guys! :hyper:

never thought about that. Good idea=)

180sx key or DIE!

I got 2 of them with Full Locks+ignitions
muahahahahahah

Should work Just fine though to OP. I bought one of the Newer Nissan 240 keys a couple months ago and its Nice but a tad diff than My 2 OEM Master keys I have.

[chiboy002]

arent s13 keys 8 point and new keys 10 point?

therefore you would have to trim the tip and it still has the chance if not fitting right... i bought a new one from the dealership, supposed to be one for the 240sx (rubber copy of the oem plastic ones) and it sometimes has trouble opening things like my trunk or my door

Mine looks like this.

That looks like crap.

[!Zar!]

I would not trust shitty keys like those.

[Nick_04K]

I've wondered this too! I want a new OEM Nissan key. Someone please chime in and say your using one.

I would totally rock a 180sx key, but that ish is super hard to find, if not impossible

↑ Done. I got the same thing for my S14, as I can't stand using "generic" hardware store keys as anything else but spares.

My Silvia key is getting rough. :( Don't want to get rid of it....

[chiboy002]

did no one read what i said...

the new keys don't fucking fit unless theyre modified, and even then its still somewhat sketchy

the key pushed too far into the cylinder compared to a stock key, and i bought mine NEW from NISSAN

You must have purchased the wrong one because mine fits everything perfect. Its the exact same size as my original, there is no difference any which way with it. And I got my new key a couple months ago. KEY00-00118 is the part number you need.

I dislike our limited number of key choices :( They need to make more Silvia/180SX keys, but that's just wishful thinking

[iLagX]

anyone know how to make 240 key laser cut?? by changing the key cylinder? off a j30? q45 maybe?? g20?

nope, i bought the one russell linked me with. Russell knows his shit

the key, uncut, is about 4mm longer than my oem one was. Cut it's like 1/2mm longer but still takes some jiggling around.

i'm not the only one who has experienced this

Im not to familar with cutting keys, but if its going in too deep, couldnt you cut the key back and reweld it together to be shorter? Or taking the key cover off and cutting the key shorter?

Point is it's a brand new key FOR this car and it doesn't fit right.

Thats the one I have but haven't cut it yet.

[TigerII]

Black is much nicer. I have two of these in black:

Better than the originals.

HALF of an MM longer? Holy shit everyone stop the presses, this key is DEFECTIVE.... :rolleyes:

I must be one of the lucky ones because mine goes in fine and stays in there securely. Maybe the issue isn't with the key, but more likely your ignition.

[blueshark123]

im going to take my alitma 03 keys and my 240 key to the lock smith and compare to see if it can work if so im getting new blanks and cutting them

[sincity_sil80]

let us know how it goes.. Im interested in upgrading my outdated blank valet looking key, i think the original owner must have lost the original key and got the one i have cut cuz this thing looks like crap, anything would be an upgrade lol

[nikkisixx69]

i have one of these still in its original box, had it for years and never got it cut, now i want the silvia key so it looks like its staying that way haha

i didn't even measure so thats a guess as well as, when it comes to keys, 1/2mm off means the cylinder won't turn cause the pins don't line up, i hope you know that.
