I've looked into the switchblade mod that people are making, it's nice and all but I'm wondering if I can just use a small bit and drill press to make a nice little hole in my broken key to attach my key ring. This is my spare so I am trying to just be somewhat cheap in fixing this. But also know that it is just a matter of time that I lose this spare without a keyring for it.
I have a 2003 Touring if it makes a difference, although we can't be 100% certain this is an original key really. I attached a picture for reference, and note that there is a little rectangle "cutout/groove" marking on the bottom next to the actual key part. Is this where the chip is located or not?
If we can't be 100% certain then I won't drill anywhere. But if the chip is usually in a corner, or that rectangular spot I see then I can drill through a different area. Thanks guys!

I'll go a bit above the nissan logo to make the keyring less awkward, that all work? Thanks for dealing with a dumb question, but could you imagine the rage if I saw chip flakes start coming up through the drill bit...
