ok this isnt technical but I figured this was still the best section to post this… I’ve managed to lose the one and only key to my 89. I’ve heard rumours that a lot of key’s interchange on the zenki’s, is this true? Can I take my ownership to the dealer to obtain a new key? Has this ever happened to anyone else? Thanks. ---

Just take in your ownership to the dealership and they will run your VIN and get the key info. From that they can make you a new key. ---

That could be hard if you can’t get into the car. It should not cost more than $10 at the dealer. I went in to make a key for the Subaru and it cost like $5. ---

yeah i think darian is right, they dont keep the key code or pattern for longer than 10 years, i think you have to goto the original dealership it was sold from in 89. (if the glove box was changed and the original code isnt there) I think you can give them a call and ask them to send it to you, just show them ownership papers etc. They should have it on record somewhere. ---

Alot of nissan keys work in other vehicles. My key can start a few of my buddies cars, maybe in your friends group of people who drive 240’s you would be able to find one that works if all else fails. Get CAA to open your car, take the lock out and take it into a locksmith and they can duplicate a key using that as well. There is alot of cheaper methods to go about this. Both i have done, and have worked excellent. Good Luck!! ---

bah! s13’s are easy to get into. Just pull the glass enough to fit your arm in and open it up. then do like we did with darains car, bash off the key soliniod and start it with a screw driver. To avoid theft wire on a ca ignitor and take it with you when you park the car. ---
