tamo3 Posted January 17, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2018 I'm wondering if anyone successfully re-cut key based on the key code from worn out original key? Someone said Dealer only store 10 years of data in the computer, the others say using VIN number lockthmith can re-cut new key. http://forums.nicoclub.com/key-cutting-by-vin-t301243.html My key is worn out and it easily falls off while running engine. I have spare ignition module, but I want to use the original key for door lock and ignition. There is a code on the key one letter and 4 digit number. I wonder whether I can re-cut based on the code somewhere. By the way, this key in the photo is from junkyard old 260z. You can't steal my car if someone successfully re-cut key for this :-) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/59391-worn-out-key-re-cut/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
psdenno Posted January 17, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 17, 2018 When I had a new key cut, I took the key code number from the glovebox door tag to a locksmith. Quick, easy, inexpensive.

Zed Head Posted January 18, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 18, 2018 I've read that it's on the passenger side door lock cylinder. Only the passenger side for some reason. I did like site did and took the number from the glove box door to a local locksmith. They didn't think twice, just looked up the cut in their books and made me some spares. Just went and looked at mine and it's a letter and four numbers. Like A1234.

siteunseen Posted January 18, 2018 Share #5 Posted January 18, 2018 Mine was "M 5150", from glove box. Very fitting, code for involuntary psych hold. 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/59391-worn-out-key-re-cut/#findComment-540063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Hagar sang "why can't this be love?" Because you SUCK! David Lee is Van Halen. Those brothers were just in his band. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/59391-worn-out-key-re-cut/#findComment-540081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
