Shagy Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 does the same key that unlocks the door also work in the ignition on a 1971 510? I cannot remember. I'm also guessing that its a double sided key, not like my 69 which is a single side... and where do you get the key blanks? I dont have keys for my new wagon and need to get something made. Anyway to find a key code? Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Isn't the code stamped on the key lock? Ukstar on fleabay had key blanks. I had one made from a forklift key at the locksmith. He had to cut around a 1/4" off the tip due to it being too long. Works good though. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 theres a code stamped on one of your door lock cylinders and one on the ignition. if they match, they use the same key. Quote Link to comment
Sinnful Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I just took a ignition key with a hand full of door locks/fuel door lock to a lock smith and had everything keyed the same for 40 bucks. So my one key does everything and also had a spare made. Just take the ignition to a lock smith Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 $40!! Fak...this guy wanted $95 for ONE key. How would it have been from the factory? 1 key for both? or does it just depend on how it was built? I found these on Ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Key-Taylor-X10-62DV-Datsun-Nissan-1971-73-Ignition-/320549939892?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4aa243eab4 but I'm not sure what key blank I need and I dont want to spend $ on more useless shit.

Skib Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Just take the ignition to a lock smith yup, I took mine to the locksmith and he made me a key that fit both and a spare key for $23 total (had no keys at all, he made it all from the numbers) Quote Link to comment
Sinnful Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 After 1970 one key does everything. I bought a tight ignition with one key for 35 bucks and then took the locks out of another parts car. So none of my stuff matched, so I have 75 bucks total into my whole deal Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I guess I just need to pull them off and see what I'm dealing with.... or take him a door one and cross my fingers Quote Link to comment
fourfiveten Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 The door lock that has the code is the passenger door Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 ^ glad you told me that.....thanks Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 1 key for doors hatch and ignition. Double sided. Copys can be made at hardware stores. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 copies = having a key to start with =) Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 IS this the key blank I need? http://mysecuritypro.com/nissan62dukeyblanks.aspx Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I don't think so... that's the later blank which is a mirror image of the one you need. My '72 510 uses a 62DT X6. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 so this one then... http://www.mrlock.com/62DT.html?mv_tmp_session=1&mv_tmp_session=1&mv_tmp_session=1&mv_form_charset=UTF-8&mv_form_charset=UTF-8&toggle=5647 Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Should be, but you need to know your lock configuration. That's what my '72 Wagon uses and my '74 pickup (which, coincidentally use the same key, not just the same blank!) My later, 76+ ones use the other (62DU X7). If the locks got changed they COULD be different. The ORIGINAL keys were short, but the long ones work OK, and a GOOD locksmith can cut them down so they aren't pocket spears. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I think I'm going to take the pass door cylinder out and goto a lock smith and buy a key blank to see which one it is. I've never needed a lock smith so I dont know a good one. These mother effers are expensive!!! $80-$130 to make a key w/out an existing key. I'm also being told the key codes are too old for them to use. WTF? Where are the old ass lock smiths that know their shit? Anyone in the 626/909/562 area good? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 My Key is a Axxess+ number 37. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 The key blank is $2 at home depot and other hardware stores. It's not rare. It's the same as 1980s Subaru and Nissan. Any of these work Or $8 at the Nissan dealer for the key blank If you want the original 1972 'N' key, taiwan or ukstar is the way to go, but be careful not to buy the mirror image key! Mirror image x6 vsersus x7 keys Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 well this weekend I'll be vacuuming out the car so I'll pop off the door cylinder and goto a hardware shop and see what they have. I'll start with a X6. All the spares I have @ the house are all single sided stuff I collected over the years. Is there a way do decifer the key codes? Quote Link to comment
Sinnful Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 yeah for me I never thought about what blank to use and stuff, I just took the parts to the locksmith and let them do what they do and it worked out sweet. oh yeah it only took about a half hour also Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Is there a way do decifer the key codes? Yes, the 4 digits of the key code correspond to the cutting depth points of the key. That's all. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Depths but not @ what point to cut..right? Or is there a standard@ Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Yes it is standard. That's why my key may open your car. In the late 1970s they switched to the longer key, and then even longer -- to add more cut combinations. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Okay...well I'm just going to take one in and see what happenes then. Quote Link to comment
