I have a 95 and a 96 Maxima that look like twins except for the after market wheels on one. They are both dark green. My question is can I have one side of the key cut for one car and the other side of the key cut for the other? Or, are both sides of the key used in the ignition and other locks for a single car?
This way I could just flip the key over to change from one car to the other.
Thanks,
Randy

 

I never heard of that before...i highly doubt it but then again i've read that some 350Z dudes use their keys to unlock some 4th gens......................

 

No, you can't do that. You could, however, try to order two identical ignition and door lock cylinders and use the same key for both.

 

dat sounds hott if u could do that tho

 

I thought this thread was going to be two girls, one cup material

 

thats just wrong

 

You can pick which key you want to use, with your maxima from the dealership is a small key tag that has a number on it. if you bring that number to the dealership, you can get three locks and an ignition, then you can install them in the other car and *poof*. two cars, one key.

 

Do that, lose that key and than

 

What if you decide to sell one, or worse yet one gets totalled? Chances are since you posted the question here you more than likely spoke to a few friends as well. And of course a few people who maybe don't think so much of you will hear of this and one day while you're playing your favorite sport, "poof" your keys turn up missing. Figure out the rest, don't do it. Theft or vandalism waiting to happen.

 

doesnt sound like a too bad idea. but what happens if one key gets screwed up or something goes wrong.

 

Is it really worth going through all that work and $ when you can save it all and just carry the 2 oz key?

 

If you had properly placed a question mark after your thread title, I wouldn't have come in here....



I want 30 seconds of my life back.

 

Idea:....Take a metal ring...hook two keys on it....problem solved @ money saved!

 

to the OP: this seems like a cool project just to do it, if for no other reason. The tumbler has pins on 1 side only, so yeah you can cut 2 different patterns on 1 key. I'm going to stop by HomeDepot and see how they cut their nissan keys.
