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!!

If its anything like a Jeep you'll need to go to Nissan.

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*

Jeep Keys are usually chipped that's why.

Nissan aren't I've had mine cut and Mr Mint and so on. Works just fine.

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.

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

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.

For 34's mister minit (a popular key cutter with heaps of franchises located around aus) stock a key which works fine.

Also barrel length shouldn't be a problem providing the replicated key's barrel is longer and not shorter.

Got my R33 key cut last week for $5 from Mr Minit.

Got a lovely discount as I was cutting 2 keys
