Any good locksmith should have an airbag they shove in the door seam once expanded it creates about a half inch gap in which they use a rubber coated rigid metal rod to either push a window or unlock button. You need to punch the previous two locksmiths in the face for not having the correct setup, and then punch yourself for not getting a spare key made earlier.

 

 

I can only imagine how terrible it would be if a car thief saw your car was running, smashed in the window, then stole the car. wouldn't insurance deny your claim if they were able to prove you left the key in it?

 

So did you get in the car? Did the dealership make up a key for you?

 

when i went to a dealer to make a spare key they said i must wait 24 hours for it to be made due to some programming chips they put inside... and guys Z locks itself after 2 minutes if you leave ur key in the ignition, i also learned it the hard way after owning the car for first 4 days... i put my keys in ignition, and the remembered that i forgot something at home so i went back home to get it and simply less then 2 minutes i come back and my car was locked..... =/ ... oh **** i thought... but i called the locksmith and he got it opened within like 25 seconds...

 

I'm not sure what any of you are talking about. I start my car to warm up for a good ten minutes in the morning daily, and it has yet to lock me out.

 

^^^^ maybe there is diff stuff in diff year models.. u got a 2008, and maybe its a bit different system... i got an 06, but not sure.. my buddies 06 locks auto as well after having it running for about 1 min.... =/ ...

 

Take a small wedge of a piece of 2x4 or something equally soft - wedge it gently into the window at the top until it makes a gap. Then use the coat hanger. We did it at the track last year - 10 minutes at most and it was open. I too cannot believe a locksmith can't get it open - that is ridiculous. And I have seen my own car re-lock itself - at least a couple of times. Could never replicate it, but I swear it happened. No big deal as I have the spare key in my wallet.

 

BUT wat if you leave ur wallet inside ur LOCKED out car??? hahaha... i had so many idiots do that too.... and for my sake... i always keep one at home, AND i have one hidden underneath my car... takes me around 5 min to find it my self but hey atleast i know there is a spare key underneath my car if anything happnes =D .... IM soo happy none of u know where i live

 

UPDATE!!?!?!?

I'm tempted to try this while bored at work today. See how long it takes to break into my own car.

 

So far I have not been stupid enough to lock BOTH my wallet and my keys in at the same time. If i did, I would the method I just explained. When I was teenager we would break into our buddies cars and jack their 8-track players just to mess with them - got pretty good with a coathanger, lol.

 

I don't think he is updating because he is sitting outside waiting for the gas to run out. Its times like these I bet he wishes he had an H2, full tank, with idle. Probably run out in 30 minutes.

 

I was doing a search on this very subject looking for some answers.. I went into my garage yesterday to get into my Nismo.. I tried to unlock it using the key fob but it didnt work.. Dead battery? I just put new batteries in both.. Non the less.. So I got my spare and unlocked the doors and did what I needed to. Put BOTH sets of keys in the drawer with the car unlocked (took my truck).. I was getting my golf clubs together in the garage and I hear a clunk sound.. Check the Z and its locked up.. Lights did not flash (or at least i didnt see them) I go inside and get the fob and unlock.. Left it all day and it did not lock again.. Not sure this may be a problem he is having?? Anyone else have this issue? I understand the security feature with the chip but my keys were far away?

 

Another question... I do not like to carry a spare key in my wallet.. I would use a hide a key.. If I do not want to use the Valet key I am hearing that I cannot just get a key made anywhere?? Does that one also have a chip in it?

 

Sorry really bored today..

So what does the gas gauge say?? How much did it burn since this started??

 

How the hell is that possible? If the car is running, it should not allow you to lock the doors. You can hit the lock button and it will lock then instantly unlock. WTF?

 

no i think he just had experienced same thing i had couple of times... even when the car is running and i just begin to drive sometimes my car does auto lock... and usually i think WTF .. must be safety thingy... but then it only happened like couple of times... maybe 1/10,000 times... but still... it happens... BUT...

YOU are right, once your car is started, and you open the door and hit the LOCK button the doors will not lock, having ur keys in ignition, doors open and you manually trying to lock it... so HE didnt lock the car... the car locked it self...

 

im pretty sure the ONLY place where you can make a copy of the Z key is only dealer due to the chip inside the key... my buddy made a copy of the key once using the 3rd party places without chips, and it unlocked the car couple of times but he CANT start the car with that key.... im guessing due to not having the key programmed to ur car ??

 

hahaha... well we all eat the DUST sooner or later... but ur plan B sounds not too bad either... i hope you practiced stealing crap from ur buddies who owned a Z other wise you might be having same problem as the OP

 

So what will u do when the gas runs out.... You still can't get in
