I’ve only got the red spare key with the car so I ordered a new 300zx black master from Amayama (KEY0000095).

Took it to my local key cutter and it’s the wrong key apparently! It does look slightly different to be fair.

So first question, are there more than one master key? Does anyone know the part number? Mines a 1993 JDM. And the the one above is available if anyone wants, it cost me about £13 so happy to sell for that plus postage.

Second question, I’m also going to order a nice titanium one and would like to get it cut off the original spec, research shows that a sticker in the glovebox has the code, mine has long gone, but my red key has a 4 digit code engraved on it. Can anyone confirm if this is the code?

Regarding a new one - Just go with Ronin Imports/47point9 and they cut it for you based purely on an image of your working key. That's what I did when I got a titanium spare made and it works perfectly.

That’s my plan! Did you send them a photo of your key then? What was the postage like to UK?

Yes just sent them a photo of my key. I bought some other bits so my shipping bill won't be representative but shipping was $69

I took a blank original into Timpsons and the guy trashed it trying to cut it! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ah man that’s annoying! Our local guy is really good, it’s only a little shop in our small town but he’s got a YouTube channel with 270,000 subscribers, so he knows his onions! And keys.

I dont have a youtube, does that mean I dont know my onions? 😅

I’m just going on what society seems to want to tell us!

im sure you’re an expert on onions and all their variety! 😂

Turns out he was wrong!

I took the key back, asked him to cut it anyway despite his protestations and it only bloody works!

So there you, you can get a main key cut from the valet 👍

Yes the cutting of the main and vallet keys is the same, it's the ridges down the key that are different
