Love my kuro 350z and modding it is coming up nicely, there is only one draw back, the flippin key housing is fugly as hell





Not sure if the plastic cover is the same in the US as in the UK and I know its only a key, but when you modding up your car and it lookes like an expensive motor, and then pull out the keys, its a big let down IMO. I went back to some girls house and when I chucked my keys on the side she saw the huge nissan plastic key and asked if i had a micra ( similar to your Versa)

I know probably stupid and lame, but anyone tried changing the housing to make it look better from fugly, perhaps carbon fibre housing or leather

I saw this a thought gorgeous but know it cant house the immobiliser or open lock buttons

 

No, in the US I think we all get key fobs. see: http://www.mynismo.com/images_products/S_3777.jpg

How do you open the hatch with that key?

 

haha man....i wish ours look as good as his.

 

the NISMO key pictured will not work as it has no immobilizer provision (I've got that key for my Datsun )

 

Ugh, that ugly!

It's a shame Nissan didn't give us a cooler key like the last gen Z.

 

I would still really love a flip out key/fob combo like on VW's.

 

As long as it starts the car im happy...

 

You push the button near the rear numberplate and it opens. My key sucks, would love the nismo one

 

yeah if we had a flip key like on audi's we would be Key Pimpin!!!

but unfortunately we don't

 

May I add.....as long as the car starts I'm happy.....

+101.. thats all that matters..

 

Just opened my spare key to have a look at the internals, going to talk to a mate to see what he can do with it, hopefully reshape it so that it can be like the 300z style key with two buttons one either side in a carbon fibre housing. Ill get pics as soon as its done

 

in for pics ^^^

 

yay, lets put more money into our keyz, than into our cars. is it really that important?

 

I'm working on this exact thing. There are threads here and on Driver that show how to retrofit the Z fob into Mazda/VW/Audi fobs. I bought one on Ebay for 20 bucks, a little difficult wiring and I should be pimpin. Just a fun little project.
