1970's original Key Blank(oval top)

I guess you couldn't see me smirking/smiling when I typed that, but, I wasn't serious about the Mr thing... I always hate being called Mr... but, at almost 40, I should probably get used to it. HA!

Anyway, I had no idea Nissan never released a DATSUN key? Is that true? I never had an original key for my '71 since the PO had lost it somewhere. Is there a write-up somewhere showing the correct keys for the various years the Zcars were produced?

Nor could you see the devilment in my eyes as I posted my reply!

Yeah, right here on this site. Go to the thread linked below and scroll down about halfway for all the pictures.

Mike,

There is this neat tool the owner of this site gave all of us....called "search".....

It is a good thing that having my tongue in my cheek(and not one of the two I am sitting on) doesn't affect my typing!

Z content....Nissan never released a "Datsun" key for the Z(no reference to it in any parts book-78), but I have seen a dealer issued key that did have the Datsun Logo on it-matching their License tag frame, dealer tag, and dealer emblem.

I'll hunt for a picture-it was all a collection of dealership tie-ins

5 Datsun/Nissan 240z 260z 280z Un-Cut Key Blanks RARE

Item number: 280262252676

Reserve: $500

I figured myself on buying a set (2 keys) for like $75 personally....

If you get that price, I was wrong, and definately more power to you!

Says the guy is out of Corvallis. Funny that's where Scoville Nissan is located... I wonder if one of Jack's employee's is selling some old stock. Corvallis is about 10 minutes from my house. I'll give Jeff a call and see if he knows someone selling these keys.
