ive been paranoid for a while about that shiet and was going to order a new lock set. well i happened to ask our parts guy about making keys off the VIN numbers. for NISSANS they can only do it for some 93s and all 94 and up. just shedding some light on this, dont know if someone already did.

i've tried to have a master key made for a '93 i owned and Nissan was unable to do it without the keycode (located in MOST gloveboxes)

i needed some spares for my 91 and didn't have any keycodes in the glovebox, the parts guy just measured my key and made copies from that.

they are talking about getting keys made for a car you don't already have keys for...of course any key can be copied if you have it in hand...

The answer from six years ago is still the same.

Call a locksmith and have lots of $$$ ready for him.

After 10 years they take the "key using vin code whathaveyou" out of their system. So if you car is 10 years old Nissan cannot make a key for you using the VIN. Honda still can. Had to do it twice for my 90 CRX.

That's what happens when you have search Nazis. People search, find a relevant thread, and reply to it.

Then people will come in and say "OMG Why post in such an old thread!?". Old thread Nazis.

It's a lose-lose.

Thank you for proving Godwin's law to be true yet again.

Tell me why my being one of the guys who demands that newbies search, and then NOT flaming him for searching (but rather replying succinctly and factually) somehow equates me to a political party which sought world domination and genetic "purity" via genocide?

:squint:

edit: I felt like pinking you for your general ignorance, but I feel that not only would you not benefit from it, you'd feel persecuted and call me a nazi again.

I bought new ignition cylinder from courtesy nissan and then tore out all of my lock cylinders and had them re-coded to the new ignition key.Plus all of cylinders got new lube and everything works like brand new.Now I have the piece of mind that there are no extra keys floating around.The place I bought the car from is out of of buisness,because of their shady dealings.

You fail to recognize the internet generalization of the term "nazi." Though if you can only take it in literal comparison I'll give you some bovine production.

The Nazi's had an order or way that they felt was perfect and everything else was inferior. So let's say searching is Aryan and not searching is anything else, let's say Jewish.

So the Jew does things the Jew way then the Nazis come in and say "DUN DUN, DUN, NIEN! JOO CAHN DO JAHT! NIEN! STUPID JEW!" and they will continue to do this until everybody conforms to their way of being, ie Aryan.

I VOUCH
Except when you get a brand new cut key, you have to file it down because its cut so perfectly the old pins get stuck and whatnot. I had to file down a brand new key (the shoulder of it, and round some of the peaks a lot) 93 civic
They made the key with vin and it doesn't open the trunk from the inside (below the rear window) but trunk works

Nothing wrong with old threads? Accident?

Not sure if you need the keycode from inside the glovebox if you have the VIN. At least you don't with Honda.

But you will need to show proof of ownership. So a registration, title, or an insurance card along with a valid photo i.d.. That keeps an Joe Shmoe from breaking into your car, getting the necessary things and getting a key from Nissan to steal your car.

Ok. So now you're thinking "How'd this get to the internet and exactly does it apply to me. Well the Natzis had this special police that went around making sure everybody was exactly like them. The secret police was called the SS, meaning Special Squad, cause they were secret and stuff. Everybody knew who they were because they wore different badges and colors from the rest of the Natzis. This is like the moderators and administrators of a forum. While some mods wear (have their name) in a certain color, SS mods have their name in a different color. The SS's job was to go around and specifically enforce conformity to generalized "rules", such as searching. Which is much like how moderators do when they go around looking for Jews and other people who aren't Aryan.
And who doesn't want the rules enforced? It makes internet society more clean and pure. The inferior who don't search and ask questions make this place all dirty. They're all like "Helps, I need to get to work and my car is having trouble please help! Immediately" in their newjew speak. So the SS has to come in and tell them "NIEN! JO SEARCH! LOOK ZU THE COUNTLESS TITLES OF IRRELEVANCY AND FIND YOUR ANSWER! ZIS TREAD ZE LOCK!"
and they do.
See, the SS is only enforcing the purity of society and do so in the firmest way possible. But then you have those Natzi's who are wanna be SS and try and be all big and bad so they'll come in all like "ZTUPID JEW! JAA! DAS WUT JOO ARE! NINKUMPUT. SEARCH! SEARCH, SEARCH, SEARCH JEE PANZY!"
And then this creates sort of a duality. I mean, the SS doesn't want people posting question that have already be answered, they don't want them bumping the threads of months or years old threads relevant to their question, and they don't want lesser Natzis flaming people. So what does the SS do? Well, if you know any thing Natzis never attacked other Natzis* (*there was an attempt to take out the HNIC). So they allow the gas cambering of the newish person.

I think I've ran out of stuff to make up.

LOL dude you suck at arguing. Your lack of logic is shear comedy. Your exaggeration of fact to make analogies is amateurish. You fail and it looks almost like you have racial issues at the same time.

Seriously you are making so much out of little situation give it up. You are just making yourself look damn silly. Oh and if you don't want to stick around long on the forum keep up the bullshit your spouting above. Oh and don't cry if it happens. :rofl:

Thank you for proving Godwin's law to be true yet again.

I feel ok to respond to you in the respect that you responded to me.

You suck at recognizing a sarcastic non-serious argument. You make yourself look like a tight-wad and pretty daft. I'll stick around this forum until I'm no longer interested, but going on around flaming like you have usually gets you banned.
