Nissan Genuine Key Value parts

[zed2]

I have been approached by several people who have "Nissan Genuine Key Value" parts for sale.

I have found only one reference to these part:

Key Value" standing for KEY products providing VALUE for money, is the registered trademark for the exclusive use of Nissan Motors.

"Key Value" parts are designed to conform to Nissan quality standards and are suited especially for use after the warranty period to maintain excellent performance in respect to the vehicle's age and condition.

Despite the high quality, "Key Value" parts are priced substantially lower than factory fit equivalents.

The Key to Economy and Reliability is therefore applied as a key word for "Nissan Genuine Key Value".

"Nissan Genuine Key Value" refers to those parts approved by Nissan Motor as genuine parts, in addition to the current genuine product lineup, which are original equipment parts used during Nissan vehicle manufacturing.

Does anyone have experience with the quality of these parts? Does anyone have a list of the Key Value that fit the S30?

Thanks,

Keith

to see them reproduced in the same sturdy steel as they have been.

Mines are the oval ones with the " NISSAN MOTORS " logo and I am looking since many years to find OEM blanks without success

Indeed, I refinished the black paint and put a clear coat to protect the original finish on the oval part.

I Believe it would be pretty easy to reproduce these OEM keys and I would invest in a project of this kind if I could find other models of OEM to make prints.

I Have a friend of mine that could cast them and mill to the specs we need.

Nissan doesn't care about OEM parts for S30. You cannot even find a repro part authorized by Nissan that fits your S30 as the original. The only thing they are concerned is the Nissan label on the plastic wrap.

they would be etched on both sides and the grooves milled both sides from a metal alloy known as Hastelloy c 276.
