How to DIY: Switchblade Key aka Euro Style Flip Key
I got mine from a-suntek on ebay for $17.95. Shipping took two weeks, but I was in no hurry. I didn't get to see others, but one I got looks and works perfectly.
I recommend this seller (a-suntek) from my experience. Ace hardware destroyed the first blade+pivot metal, so I asked for another one from this ebay seller. Well, it took another two weeks, but the seller sent them to me free of charge.

I got it! Very fast shipping and excellent service.
The friends at PERFORMANCE NISSAN did an excellent job cutting three keys and programing them. Anthony at the service desk took my order and even programed my remotes at no charge. Anthony and Eddie worked together to get in at a late hour of bussiness, I thank you for that.
Overall I was very happy with both the product and the service.

Got anymore info? Been looking for one that fits, i had to do the zip tie trick.
As for the a-suntek key, mine has been holding up pretty well, the one i got from the g35 guy was garbage though.
My key is holding up fine too with daily use. No complaints whatsoever.

For $19 its a good key. Every Z owner I show it to has asked me how and where they can get one too.
Got a case from A-Suntek on ebay. Shipping took a few weeks (free from hong kong). Got it together and took it to the hardware store. It fit in the machine in one direction, but not the other. So now it only has teeth on one side :x
Took the metal part out of the plastic case and gonna take it back tomorrow I guess. Hope it fits!
Edit: Took it to Lowes today, and the guy there was quite helpful and cut it for free.

So the $39.99 one from artiway is the one i think i'm going to get. Has anyone purchased one lately? I'm trying to see if anyone can tell me about the quality of this product? I don't want a floppy key

What were you doing with it? Throwing it against a wall? I've had mine since I originally posted in this thread maybe a few months ago and its still perfect like new. Did you put it together correctly?

nothing, just normal usage. place it together with my house key and somehow it got compressed and broke..
Well to answer my own question...The FOB from artiway was semi difficult to get open. Three screws in the back to remove and pry open...Easy as that sounds...It seemed to be glued together near the end where the key folds out. I managed to get it apart but not without some minor indentions from my pocket knife.
Other than that...Key was easily cut by my local Lowes for free. (I just handed him the metal key...no FOB) I transfered in the chip from my key..very simple. Programing remote was simple with the guide here on my350z. https://my350z.com/forum/audio-video...ur-remote.html
Key feels very solid...thumbs up
