Keys

can you use any nissan key blank say something like the one below

i know there are 2 types of the nismo key going around a long and a short. I think the short fits the stagea. On the list of suitable models it includes models like the N15 pulsar so does that mean you could go and get a nissan genuine blank for a pulsar which doesnt have a chip or an immobiliser button in it and get it cut to fit the stagea? I would like a key with the black bit and the nissan logo at the top that is all and I am not paying top dollar for a remote key as I will be getting an aftermarket alarm. The key below is about $25 australian posted from a parts store in the states

If it the same as the Patrol key, it will work.

Thats right. The patrol blank fits Stagea, Silvia, R30 Skyline, the only thing I'm not sure of is whether you can get an unchipped blank with the black plastic surround.

i dont know but I guess that if the stagea doesnt use a chip as long as the key itself works then it doesnt really matter. The chip wont talk to anything but thats no big deal. The key I attached above was from an american site and as I said $25 and it is a model with the chip so not too much more expensive than a regular key

Picked it up today from nissan, in stock and $11 each.

Key cutter guy had them in stock too, $7 including cutting for a generic one without the plastic or the nissan logo

BTW I love the creative nissan part number
