Im looking for another key for my ZX. When I bought it it only had the black key that seems to work in the drivers door, boot and ignition. doesnt seem to work in the passengers door or glovebox. (passengers door could be just need a spray of WD40 or something)

 

Anyway i saw this on ebay and wondered if its any good: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120577218870?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

 

I then dug through some old threads and came across these:

My question is; is it worth buying the blank set from concept Z or just go for the replacement blank from down under?

 

I have a friend who actually lives near Concept Z in Phoenix and could buy the keys and ship them to me as a "gift" so might work out cheaper in shipping and import duty...

What about these?

This is what I used. Personally what matters to me is that all locks on the car use the same key. The ones I've linked to at least have the original key shape, they are a cheap replica.

As for the Titanium ones, they are still replicas so what's the point in the extra cost?

Ultimately though, each to their own...:)

And for those who don't know:

titanium = original

black = spare but opens everything like the titanium

red = valet = door locks and ignition only

I have a copy titanium pair in red and black. The problem is I still cannot find anybody willing to cut them! The shops I have been in have refused

Well, they're incompetent. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?173400-Titanium-key&highlight=key+cut

Mine were done by Timpsons without a problem.

I would suggest you price OEM blank keys from a Nissan dealer locally before you purchase from overseas.
