jimboy2 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 eBay as above. Was along time ago but will try dig out the seller Quote
Synx Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 So I just got my key cut. The guy cutting it said the flip key was a different width to my original key but said he would try anyway. I get to the car to see if the key turns and it does 1 in every say 25 trys....... not ideal sad face 1 Quote
gareth29 Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 I had one cut a bit ago and it wont turn it all - much filing later and it still wont turn Quote
Synx Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 This is a sad day. I really wanted a flip key! Quote
KyleR Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Done mine today. £6.99 for the flip key, £15 for the key to be cut, which I'm pretty sure is a rip off and £1.75 for the burger badge which is yet to arrive. The mod itself is pretty easy, however I had to use a dremel to grind off about 1.5mm from the cross where the battery seats as the key wouldn't fit together. The hardest part was probably figuring out how to reassemble it correctly and put the right tension on the spring in the correct direction. I also expected to have to recode the remote again as the key had been taken apart for about 12 hours before I got the dremel out and fixed it, but alas, it worked first time :party: One tip I would suggest is to use the correct sized screw driver. I used one a little too small (PH 000) and nearly destroyed the screw top, PH 0 is the perfect fit. Quote

RichCox350Z Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Got mine the other day. £12 deliverd. Timpsons cut the blade for free and worked first time Added decals and happy with the results! Where did you find the "350Z" logo for the Fob? I've been sprawling the internet, can't seem to find one anywhere? Quote
jimmy.farrow7 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I tried doing this mod however the circuit board was too big for the flip key even though i brought one for a "350z" maybe its because mine is JDM i spoke to a guy who done his and his circuit seemed to be smaller Quote

I worry that some other people have received fobs with too-thin metal etc... Edited June 3, 2016 by shad0wca7 Quote

I bought this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111768656763 As I said, I had to dremel a mm or so from where the battery seats, but apart from that it's fine. Plastic isn't as good as oem key, but we can't expect it to be for £7. Quote
ZEUS Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I've just done this today and I used the oem key blade and just swapped it to the flip key. Bit of a faff but easier that getting a badly cut key. 1 Quote
Olly350z Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Is there anyone on here who would offer there services to do this? Really not electrical or small and fiddly savie (fat fingers) Would love one Quote
Olly350z Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Posted in this but never got a reply? Any links to attempt it myself or anyone that can shine some light? Quote
craigmdennis Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 I tried this yesterday but the car won't start, just turns over. I assume this means the immobiliser isn't reading the transponder in the new key Swapped back to the old key and all fine. Quote
