Hi my Z has been off the road for a little while whilst I save up to do some more work on it, anyway I came to get in it today, alarm and central locking did not work as the battery is flat, not a problem as I have used a booster to get it going the last few times as I know theres a drain on the power.

So as usual I go to unlock with the key. The Key turns in the lock and I hear a click and damn the door wont open! The key just turns round about 180 deg in each direction.

I only have the original titanium ignition key which only works in the ignition and the nissan door key which only ever worked in the driver side door but not the passenger side or boot.

Im locked out anyone got any suggestions apart from having to call a locksmith and pay £200 which I could really do without. Im not that technical and this really is vexing me as I want to keep on keeping the Z running regularly to make sure engine does not develop any probs. Shes off the road on a sorn at the moment.

I dont fancy using my brick key either as I would have to find and fit another window then and all the glass is original. Its got t,tops. thought of getting the bonnet open so I could then charge the battery and open via alarm fob but cant see how from the outside and I dont want to damage anything. GRRR its so annoying I have a lump of metal outside my house with a nissan badge on it!

After thinking this through please don't post the answer on a public forum as we dont want chavs nicking our rides. Can someone PM me with the answer or email to ian at ianwilletts dot co dot uk I would really appreciate it

Before I reply to this can anyone confirm the validity of Topchilla.

 

Not being funny mate but you aren't a member just a registered user.

 

I had a similar problem not so long ago and know how to do it but wouldn't want to just pass the information on to anybody.

 

Hope you understand.

 

Darrell

thought the same thing :(

Hmmm, this is interesting as some Cnut at 4 am this morning was "hanging around" my Zed :slap: :nono: , luckily a neighbour spotted them and scared them away. I don't think the even realised I have a CCTV camera pointed straight at the Z

Hi I have been a registered user but with my car being off the road lately have not kept my paid subscription up, just check out my other history of posts over the last couple of years and you will see! I just need an answer to my problem, the reason why I posted shortly after my original post was to make sure nobody posted in public the answer! Help me guys!

You can't be PM'd as your not subscribed

OK I will confirm this with andyp and then e-mail you.

 

Sorry to be a pain but better safe than sorry.

The AA or RAC will get you in if you are a member.

 

I had to do this when I was working on the car and leant on the switch and closed the door. You should have seen the AA guys face when he turned up to get me 'home-started' to find an oily guy in overalls and a zed on stands and in pieces! LOL

Have just sent an e-mail.

 

AndyP has confirmed him as a member.

 

Darrell

 

Sorry e-mail bounced back.

Thanks I am one of the good guys I will check my mail when I get back home and see what I can do. I didnt think of the AA or RAC either and I have the top cover with them so if I get really stuck I will give them a bell.

Will post to let you know how I get on, thanks for your help guys.

The AA will get you in in 5 secs ;). Just need I.D.

Did you get that e-mail OK in the end?

 

Did it help?

 

Darrell

Darrell,

 

Could you email me the details on this, just wanted to know :) vij@dsl.pipex.com

 

Vijay

i wouldnt trust that vijay fella...i heard he whored his post count so he could dupe unsuspecting z owners then steal their cars!!

I suppose the best thing to do would be to give it to one of the mods to keep for such occasions.

 

At least that way they can check people out before sending it to anybody.

 

It isn't rocket science anyway and I kind of worked it out from advice i received off the forum and then trying to find the equipment. The equipment I used is what peolple really need to know I suppose. If you do a search I'm sure you will find my cry for help.

 

We don't even know as yet if the advice I gave was any good anyway.

 

I will contact andyP and let the mods decide.

 

Darrell

Hi just wanted to say thanks guys for your help. I went for the RAC option in the end who did it in 2-3 mins using one of the ways you described.

I would agree that for any such questions in the future that moderators get asked to confirm members are known before being passed information on such issues. I would think that those members with nothing to hide wont mind a little checking out in the interests of the whole community.

Thanks again.

They didnt use a brick!
