Cheap New Key Solution

[Cra-Z-Boy]

When I got my V35 it only had one key ,so off to Nissan I went only to find out I had to swap my kidney just to get one.

Anyway to my solution.

I got 2 used keys from a wreck of a V35 both have the 3 bottons

$80 with post

This may seem dear for 2 used keys but in the grand scheme of things it's not to bad.

Then I went on ebay UK and got 2 new uncut blanks for the X-Trail.

Costing with post to my door $45

They are exactly the same as the V35 keys .

I gutted the 2 used V35 key and put the inturnals in the 2 new X-Trail blanks.

Key cutting for the 2 new keys $14

Coding at Nissan for the 2 keys $45

So all up for 2 new coded keys

$184

I made this a new post as I thought most might want to see the much cheaper

alternative for new keys

I can get teh keys ex japan for a decent amount less. I have the part number for it - (when I get a bit of spare time I'll pop the prices up.)

i have a NM35 Stagea. but i think they keys are the same from memory. correct me if im wrong.

[Chris Rogers]

two vertical stacked buttons or a blue and black one?

the PN above is for the former.

key blanks with remote are $280-$300 each from me. you will need your immobiliser codes to program them. no code = dont bother.

how many do I buy?

Can you possibly do write up on swamping internal part, is that hard to do ?..

where do you find V35 wrecks ... not that easy to come by in Australia surely

i just need stand by key, just in case my only one fails

Hi Chris.

it has the 2 vertical stacked buttons - both black.

i dont have the code which is generally included with the keys i know. but is this impossible to find?

what are my options.
