Nissan should be able to get one cut for you if you give them your VIN. You can try getting yours copied from a regular key place, but be warned they dont always work. I got one copied at a locksmith and it just didnt work for some reason..

Actually kind of a related unrelated story - I locked my keys in the car once, and I got a locksmith to come out and break into it for me. He fashioned a key from OUTSIDE of the car which opened the door, and started the car!!! It took him about 15 minutes. He just stood there with his little portable key grinder, and created a key just from feeling the pins as the key went in and out of the door. It's amazing that he could do that, but the key the locksmith copied from the original didnt work!!

When i got my car from the dealer it only had one key with it.. was a key with the 2 buttons on it, Got quoted from nissan $330 trade Ex japan. Ended up getting another key off them, its just a plain silver key.$5 bucks for the key, $6.60 to get it cut!

If u like i could get the part number and u could go to nissan with it.

Ok here are the pics of the two keys.

One on the left is the one i got with the car, the right one is the $5 dollar one from Nissan

When looking for keys, Shaft length is the most important thing to watch out for..

this is the best way of knowing it is correct

Hope this helps everyone

*sorry bout the large pics*

I've had my key copied from Mr Minit. The copied will open the doors and boot, but won't turn on the engine. The key cost me like $7. They also said that they could copy the key with the central locking etc for around $270. I've got the same type of key from the photos so not too sure it has a chip in it.

Mick you can get remote keys done through Mr Minit for $130ish - It's the same key as a Patrol. :blink:

No the patrol key has a shorter shaft on it than my key.. compared it to kims dads key.

R33, stageas might be the same but the R34 is different

Jeep Keys are usually chipped that's why.

I found that out. Freaking $80 for a key only and another $180 for a button.

My skyline key works fine & its from the locksmiths. Never had an issue with it.

Buy a genuine key blank and take it, along with one of your door lock barrels to a reputable locksmith so it gets cut properly.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
