still think it looks like a lollipop HAHAHAHA, not ugly just looks like candy...

About all a nice key is good for is a conversation piece when it's not in your pocket. For me, that's not often enough to spend more than a few bucks on a blank.

WIN!

these are boring they are all house keys and the only thing that is different from one to the next is a sticker like the cheap ass lighters from spencers.

atleast 2-3 friends of mine with 180's have the same original key too

This is the key that I want. Anyone wouldn't happen to have a part number for it would they?

ILoveMyRHS13 · 12-24-2008, 11:06 AM

I got this for my buddy with an FD.

*slider2828* · 12-29-2008, 12:51 AM

Went to Super Autobacs in TokyoBay and found nothing....

I will keep looking, but there were a couple of cool things I found.

Pivot stuff mainly -
Push Start Switch Kit
RPM LED panel so it lights up as it gets close to an RPM you set it...

Also I got some FET racing gloves which are pretty nice.... Let me know if you guys are looking for anything.

drftwerks · 12-29-2008, 01:27 AM

deadstock40 · 12-29-2008, 01:50 AM

300ZX Titanium key Uncut OEM Not a reproduction - eBay (item 180316364188 end time Dec-29-08 08:25:08 PST)

im a huge z fan but even this is a little much..

driven_ · 12-29-2008, 02:03 AM

has anyone seen those newer mazda OEM keys?
my brother rented a mazda3 and it pops/swings out like a pocketknife.

hacknik · 12-29-2008, 06:35 AM

^^ that style is old. Audi came up with it first IIRC, soon after, every other company decided to jump on the bandwagen.

Back on topic, those 300zx keys are baller. I wouldint mind grabbing one (even for 250$ lol) but I dont think it would be cool to have that key, and not have the car to go with it. It just ends in stylish failure. Same goes with the smexy RX-7 Spirit R key fob.

tre4s13 · 12-29-2008, 07:39 AM

So yea...after reading all 4 pages of this interesting shit....i found this:

eBay Motors: NISSAN 240SX 300ZX MAXIMA 84-99 BENZ POP OUT BLANK KEY (item 260326160131 end time Jan-01-09 21:35:25 PST)

looks kinda like my friends gay flipout...without the buttons and shit tho :/

Ethix · 12-29-2008, 05:58 PM

VWs and Audis use those remote/key things and they almost always break. I only know one person who has one that actually works at the car is like 1 or 2 years old.

I wouldn't mind getting one of those snapon key blanks, but other than that I could care less what my key looks like

Flicktitty · 12-29-2008, 06:02 PM

i kindda like the flip out key. but meh...

bejota180sx · 12-29-2008, 06:14 PM

i like it... it's the fake buttons that make me not want it...

projectRDM · 12-29-2008, 06:20 PM

Mercedes was the first supplier to use the flip out key, back in like 1992. I saw one a kid bought off Ebay for his 240, the key is basically held in place with a tiny set screw that not only can't be tightened enough to hold the key solid but can't be touched without scratching the top of the case. It's a really, really shitty design.

*slider2828* · 12-29-2008, 10:32 PM

Yah they are about $25 for the snap on. Come in 2 sizes and 3 colors. There is a normal handle one and a small handle one. I liked the small one more. Colors are red, orange, and blue.... Let me know if you guys want some....

I will also look at the steering wheel for bejota...

Rapier46 · 12-29-2008, 11:33 PM

the only cool key i've seen to far is that 180sx one. that's pretty cool, i dont know why.

and i have this key:
