need a new key ;(

[Harold]

well broke my only key today. searched the forum couldn't find anything. what should i do about this?

[240boi115]

well you are in luck... thankfully if im correct on this nissan only produced 13 different keys for the s13 nissan 240sx so what you do is go to a 240 meet and get everyone to try their key on your car.. the one that works is the person you take to make a new copy...... oooooooooor you can get a new key set from nissan itself.. and buy a new ignition part with keys from autozone... your choice bro.

[isixphill]

the nissan dealer by me has this huge book that lists all of the key combos for all of the original ignitions/doors based on the number in your glove box (vin too?), ask specifically about the book or else the'll say they dont have it...most of the time they actually dont though lol.. youll need your id and proof of ownership too

[240boi115]

^^^ or there is my awesome idea...lol

[crash n' burn]

Unless you have the key code #, you'll more than likely be SOL. when I broke my M30 key and went to the dealership, they told me they don't keep those on file that date back more than 10yrs; homeboy was the parts dept. manager and couldn't find any other way to get it. Can call up a lock smith to make one for you..it'll cost you a little bit though.

is this true>? i have a few friends with 13s maybe one of theres would work? a buddy told me once a 95 key worked on his 91.

[Harold]

the nissan dealer near me basically said theres nothing he can do for me and to call a locksmith maybe he will have the key code good day sir.

[sidewayz240]

Remove the door lock cylinder and take it to a locksmith. It has the key code number on it and he'll be able to cut one for you, shouldn't cost more than $20-30.

out of door? out of ignition? would it matter?

[OrangeVirus1]

You can do what I did once. and it worked. Take the broken key, super glue it back together, and go to walmart and have them make a copy of it.

worked fine for me. just make sure you super glue it really clean

[lude4life13]

I can start my car with almost anything near what my key is, Nissan or not. Put a key in there and wiggle it around and I bet it will work. That's why we need alarms..

[Jersthecool]

I went to nissan with my super worn out key, he came out and took the vin number of my car, checked my registration to make sure I actually owned the car and made me 2 brand new keys for like $7 each.

I'm gonna have to agree with this guy, I can start my 240 with my key only half way in there, and Then I can take the key out and it stays started...

[crash n' burn]

Trunk lock be easier, if the glove box is original..could probably use that even. Ign cyl would require drilling and will .destroy it

[Cake Is Dope]

That sucks, I know the feeling. Do you have the other part to the broken key? I broke my key a while back, went to my local hardware store. Handed him the key In two pieces and he cut the key for me with no problem ( I got 4 made to be safe,lol )

[OrangeVirus1]

Like I said, superglue the damn key back together and take it to walmart. they make keys. problem solved. they use a Machine that reads the key via lasers.. so it's not gonna fall apart

[240sxDavid]

U live in socal OP? I know a chill guy who did it for me for 20 bucks without the code in the glove compartment he just winged it and filed the key on the spot and it worked

[Cease_Super_Hicas]

I can open all oft friends cars with my key hahahahah

[yvang07]

^ My brother did this recently, he ended up piecing the key back together as best as he could, went to the local ACE Hardware and they were able to cut him an initial key that miraculously worked, so he cut like 3 more lol.

[Harold]

well i decided i would put the broken off part in a safe place. where might that safe place be who knows my dumb ass forgot where i put it im screwed.

[inopsey]

pretty sure the key trick doesent work for s14. none of the 6 different nissan ignition keys i have work in my kouki; but i have several that worked in my s13 ignition. some of the keys i have are from 500k+ km hardbody trucks.

[240Cali]

my hommies s13 key opens my s14 awkwardly enough

If you give the dealership your VIN# they should be able to cut you another one.

And for SOHC S13 owners...

[Mishkin_707]

if you have a coupe, take the trunk lock off, take it to a lock smith and bam
