Delasangre4231 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Can I punch a 240z-280zx key blank for a 84 300zx? It looks like the groves match up and are on the correct side, I just want to verify... Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger.svoboda Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 ask a competent locksmith you probably get the correct answer that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delasangre4231 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Last time I went to a lock smith I gave em my number and what I needed and they never got back to me... I will try again and in the meantime I hope to get some knowledge from someone here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted November 4, 2009 Administrators Share Posted November 4, 2009 If the grooves are the same in depth, offset, symmetry, etc, it should work. But as suggested, a competent locksmith would know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger.svoboda Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 the keyword here is COMPETENT, reliable and honest is also nice. Doesn't sound like the guy you went to meets all those criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delasangre4231 Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Ya, I'll try someone else, but I am gonna hit up the Nissan dealership and see if they can pull an original 300zx key out their rear first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 74-79 Nissan (Datsun) 260Z-280ZX takes 62DT/62DU (Both Masters) keyblank with 6 cuts 80-83 Nissan (Datsun) 280ZX takes DA23/DA24 (Both Masters) keyblank with 6 cuts 84-up Nissan (Datsun) 300ZX takes DA25 (Master)/DA28 (Valet) with 8 cuts 5 of the 6 above keyways are different. You'll need keys cut on DA25 (Master) or DA28 (Valet) to fit in the 84 and up locks without damaging anything. The early blanks "look" like they'll fit, but the grooves are quite different. So to answer your question, not if the keyblanks are manufactured correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signal34 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Warren is correct. It only takes a very slight difference in the keyway and it is not always visible to the naked eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
